Where do we find revival? - with Monika Kirkland

04/06/22 • 32 min

“Do you ever feel like you are waiting for God to do a big work in your life where you're sitting back and waiting for him to move? Wondering what the next step is?

If you've been there, if you're waiting for that next big thing to happen, this podcast is for you.”

Join Monika Kirkland and I discussing our participation in revival.

The truth of God’s presence has become a theme of this season’s conversations and it echos through this conversation as well. We discuss the leading of the Holy Spirit, hearing God’s voice and radical obedience

Journaling Questions:

· What do you think of when you hear revival?

· How do we participate in revival?

· When was the last time you felt a nudge from the holy spirit? Did you obey?

Do life’s circumstances leave you wondering what is God’s will? How do you deal with this or handle that? Where do you go from here? What is your next step?

We often find ourselves in this place and it can be overwhelming. I have gathered some verses and some questions into a journaling resource to help us process what’s next- how do we act in trust?

I want to hear from you!
