In this powerful conversation, Riley and Jack sit down with Dr. Lisa Smith, historian and professor at Pepperdine University, whose research focuses on Christian revivals and spiritual awakenings across history. Together, they uncover the patterns that precede every move of God—from the Great Awakening to the Welsh and Hebrides Revivals—and what those moments reveal about our generation’s hunger for renewal.

Lisa unpacks the overlooked ingredients of revival: holiness, repentance, prayer, and unity, while Riley and Jack share stories of how they’ve seen the same hunger rising today. This episode will leave you with faith that revival isn’t just history—it’s a promise.
