I read a pamphlet that I have had in my personal library for a number of years. It addresses what revival is and what does it mean to be in the midst of one. This is done in two parts due to the lenght of the material presented.

The church that this material is coming from is Revive Church (Formerly known as World Revival Church) of Kansas City, Missouri. The following are links to the archived site and to the current church page.

As of this episode, this podcast has had over four thousand listens! I included some random facts about the number 4,000. Because why not?

I read a verse in the Bible, 1 Samuel 30:6, and it was an important lesson in making the right choice. The choice to make is to encourage yourself in the Lord. I read an article I found online that addresses this very topic.

It is June (at the time of this recording), and I take a moment to reflect on where we are going and how the year started out getting us there. I read a blog post that addresses this very thing.

I share a scripture verse that lays out a wonderful plan that will have an impact for generations to come. I read from Ruth 4:16-17. Pray over your children and your grandchildren and so on. Who knows what the plans and purposes the Lord has for your bloodline?

The most amazing day in history has been celebrated - Easter, aka Resurrection Day! Now what do we do? I share an article I found that addresses this very thing. Here is a spoiler alert - live life to the fullest.

I came across a newsletter that showcased the power of perspective. This reminded me of a parable (not from the Word), and that in turn reminded me of a joke. I share all three, all dealing with the theme of this episode, 'you get to choose'.

I take a look at a scripture that is filled with hope. It is found in the book of Judges, chapter six, and it is verse twelve. No matter the negative chatter you tell yourself or the failures that surround you, that does not define you!
