Our goal is to bring old sermons back to life by preaching them again. Many great theologians were preachers. We read their books today. But what did they tell their congregations? What was their week to week advice on how to live? Their theology applied is found in their sermons.

Listeners of Revived Thoughts that love the show mention:The Revived Thoughts podcast is a treasure trove for anyone interested in church history and exploring the sermons of great Christian preachers from the past. The hosts, Joel and Troy, do an excellent job of bringing these sermons to life by providing historical context and background information about the preachers themselves. It is truly a unique and enlightening experience to hear these sermons in their original form.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the careful attention to detail that Joel and Troy put into each episode. They provide thorough research on each preacher, giving listeners a deeper understanding of their lives and ministries. Additionally, they take care to modernize the language of the sermons, making them more accessible and engaging for contemporary audiences. The selection of sermons is also diverse, ranging from Chrysostom to Spurgeon, ensuring that there is something for everyone.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its ability to inspire faith and encouragement in listeners. Hearing the powerful words of these faithful saints from the past reminds us that our God is unchanging and that His truth transcends time. It is an uplifting experience to be reminded of the sacrificial love and passion these preachers had for God's word.
However, one downside to this podcast is the occasional placement of commercials in awkward spots during episodes. While it may be a necessary part of supporting the production costs, it can disrupt the flow and immersion in the sermon itself. This issue could potentially be remedied by finding more seamless ways to integrate advertisements into the podcast.
In conclusion, The Revived Thoughts podcast is a valuable resource for anyone interested in church history or seeking spiritual inspiration through old sermons. Joel and Troy bring these timeless messages to life through their meticulous research and engaging storytelling. Despite some minor drawbacks, this podcast overall provides an enriching listening experience that deepens one's appreciation for those who have faithfully served God throughout history.
