Throughout history, there have been many massive movements of the Holy Spirit. This is Spiritual Renewal, or Revival. This is always the work of the Holy Spirit, but if we seek to bring revival to our neighborhoods, we can set our house in order and ask God to send renewal to us! Pastor Gary examines one of the first revivals - when young King Hezekiah, as soon as he assumed the throne, set the Temple in order and called upon the nation to examine themselves, and repent. A model for how to seek revival is presented in Part One. World Renewal is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to serving others, spreading the Gospel, and building Christians.

Part two of this Conversation deals with a man most of us know by his good deeds and faith. But do you know that's not how Moses started life? A slave, a fugitive, and a murderer... but also Redeemed. What parts of your past are holding you back? Do you realize that God will make you ABLE, if you only make yourself AVAILABLE.

Financial gifts are always useful and appreciated, but remembering World Renewal in your prayers is appreciated most of all. Visit WorldRenewal.org

If the Good News had to be expressed as one word - the English language does not have such a word. For this Conversation, Gary studies the Hebrew word Teshuva, and what it means.

Everyone makes mistakes. An 8 second mistake follows the disciple Thomas to this day, but in this Conversation, Gary looks at things a little differently.

The Bible has many examples of fathers conferring blessings on their children, but two examples stand above the rest.
