About this episode

The episode discusses the need for personal change as a precursor to cultural revival, emphasizing a return to the Lord with all our hearts.

Sometimes we see the headlines and think, "Have people lost their ever-loving minds?" Violence after basketball games. Teen takeovers causing chaos and trouble in the streets. People not valuing life and treating people with dignity and respect. Wouldn't it be nice if we could simply power down, reboot, and start functioning properly again? Many of us have felt that way. We look around and long for revival, renewal, and a return to what is right. But Scripture reminds us that cultural change begins with personal change. If we want revival in our nation, it starts not with them but with me. That's what we learn from Joel 2. Let's stop looking at what "they" are doing and return to the Lord with all our hearts.
