If you’ve ever wondered about the subtle difference between corporate gospel renewal and revival, you’ll want to listen to today’s episode. Both are beautiful expressions of God’s work in and through the church, but they each require a different approach.

Al and Anand share the very real ways they’ve encountered gospel renewal in their very different church contexts. Each highlights how prayer and an authentic understanding of the gospel can lead to a beautiful renewal in a believer which then flows out into the church.

Come ready to embrace these truths and remain open to the reality of corporate gospel renewal and the supernatural possibility of revival in our time.

“Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.” ― Philip Yancey

The transforming power of the gospel is a turning point for any believer, but today’s guests illuminate a holistic view of personal renewal which also relies on the Holy Spirit, the grace of God, and community.

Abe and Jose reveal the very tangible ways their own lives have been renewed, and how it is often during times of suffering that God makes himself known to the people around us. Their candor invites us to examine God’s presence and people in our lives.

Join us as we consider the beauty of vulnerability and the healing that the gospel offers all of us, no matter who or where we are.

Cultural movements often emerge when there's a groundswell of unified voices rallying around a cause. From the fervor of Occupy Wall Street to the empowering momentum of #MeToo, numerous movements have left indelible marks on their respective eras.

But amidst these broader cultural shifts, is there room for the church to engage? What about movements originating from within the church itself? And how can we, as a community of believers, unify to advance gospel-centered initiatives within our own neighborhoods and beyond?

In today's episode, we delve into the hallmarks of gospel movements within the church—exploring their essence, their impact, and how we can actively participate in them. Drawing from their own experiences of catalyzing change, Dennae and Adi identify the key characteristics of a gospel movement and offer insights into how we can contribute. At the heart of their discussion lies the vital role of friendship, both in fostering genuine connection, and in driving collaborative efforts toward meaningful transformation.

Tune in to this insightful conversation and discover how you can be part of igniting and sustaining gospel movements within and beyond your community.
