A simple yes can change the spiritual climate of a home and a church. That’s the current running through our conversation with Pastor Grant Curtis of Faith Assembly in Joplin, where a nearly canceled worship night became the spark that led him—and his daughters—into a room pulsing with hunger for God. We trace the chain of small obediences, from an unexpected invitation to Rise Up to the choice to bring family into a space where believers from 24 churches laid down hesitation and leaned into the presence of God together.

We talk about what renewal actually looks like in the life of a busy pastor: stepping away to receive, modeling dependence at the altar, and returning with a refreshed heart that naturally overflows into preaching, parenting, and pastoring. Grant shares how a message on spiritual hunger reset the room’s focus, why diverse expressions of worship are a gift to the next generation, and how a single person moving to the altar before any invitation captured the essence of revival—humility meeting urgency. If you’ve been pouring out for months and wondering how to keep your heart tender, this story will meet you where you are.

We also highlight practical paths for discipleship and renewal—carrying fire home, honoring the Spirit’s timing, and creating space for leaders to be ministered to. If you long to see a fresh move of God in your city and your family, this conversation offers courage, clarity, and a gentle nudge to say yes to the next obedient step.
