NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!

We are excited to be bringing a new episode, with a slightly different twist. Rather than interviewing someone about their personal awakening story, Tyler interviews Mark about a nationwide revival taking place on the island of Cuba. Holy Spirit is breaking out and doing some remarkable things in Cuba, but it is hardly talked about. We pray these stories will stir faith in you to believe that God truly is the God of Revival, who longs to revive the entirety of His Church, and bring all to faith. Find this episode on all platforms!

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!

We are so happy to be joined by our good friend Dewey Drollinger on this episode.

Don't forget to check out our latest episode, featuring Luke Billman! Luke is the Director of Shores of Grace US, based in Philadelphia. He has some incredible stories to share, so give it a listen today!

Here was one of many powerful insights from our interview with Luke:

"Awakening always comes down to repentance and the renewing of your mind...when Holy Spirit renews your mind, it changes the way you think about things that have been embedded that you've begun to believe are the Gospel when it was really someone else's flavor of what the Gospel is."

Twenty years ago today, the unimaginable happened. We watched in horror as our nation was attacked on September 11, 2001. This day cause sadness, pain, anger, despair, and many other emotions. At the same time, though, it brought a hope and unity among our nation in a way that isn’t been seen since.

We remember those who lost their lives in the plane crashes in New York, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania. We remember the first responders who gave their lives to try and save others. And we remember the service people who gave their lives in the wars that followed.

Please hold in prayer the families of those who lost loved ones. And pray that nothing like this will be experienced again.

"In the original languages that the Bible is written in, you find that the word for worship leader actually means 'lead worshipper...' Those leading worship are actually a lead worshipper, you're no different than the best, your just leading them."
