Can revival really happen again—and if so, what is keeping the Church from experiencing it?

Pastor, author and apologist Joe Manning joins Steve to discuss why revival always begins with prayer, repentance and a renewed commitment to God’s Word. They examine how culture can influence the Church, why some Christians distort Scripture to support personal desires, and how believers can confidently defend the truth of the Bible.

Steve also encourages Christians who feel intimidated by Bible study to stop believing that Scripture is too difficult to understand. You don’t need a special degree to know God through His Word—you simply need the willingness to open the Bible, ask God for understanding and begin.

Also in this episode:
What Paul meant by becoming “all things to all people”
Why Christians should meet people where they are
The connection between idolatry and sexual immorality
Why we shouldn’t give up when prayers seem unanswered
How revival begins with personal repentance
The importance of pastors rightly dividing God’s Word
Encouraging news about the release of missionary Kevin Rideout
How churches can help parents protect children from pornography
This week’s “Faith Between Our Ears” verse: 1 Corinthians 2:9
A ceiling-fan dad joke that may take a second to land
