When Zach MeerKreebs gave a simple message about love and repentance at Asbury University in 2023, he had no idea it would spark one of the most powerful modern-day revivals. In this conversation, Zach joins Riley and Jack to talk about what really happened in that chapel, how the revival spread across the world, and what it means to sustain a move of God after the headlines fade. Together, they explore the heart posture that invites God’s presence, the role social media played in amplifying the story, and the danger of chasing moments instead of cultivating ongoing renewal.

If you’ve ever wondered how revival begins—or how to keep the fire burning—this episode will stir your faith and call you deeper into intimacy with Jesus.

In this powerful conversation, Riley and Jack sit down with Dr. Lisa Smith, historian and professor at Pepperdine University, whose research focuses on Christian revivals and spiritual awakenings across history. Together, they uncover the patterns that precede every move of God—from the Great Awakening to the Welsh and Hebrides Revivals—and what those moments reveal about our generation’s hunger for renewal.

Lisa unpacks the overlooked ingredients of revival: holiness, repentance, prayer, and unity, while Riley and Jack share stories of how they’ve seen the same hunger rising today. This episode will leave you with faith that revival isn’t just history—it’s a promise.

In this powerful episode, Riley dives deep into one of the most extraordinary moves of God in modern history—the Hebrides Revival (1949–1952). What began in a small cottage with two elderly sisters, Peggy and Christine Smith, turned into a sweeping outpouring of the Holy Spirit that transformed entire villages across the Isle of Lewis. Churches once empty were filled overnight. People fell under conviction in fields, barns, and even aboard ships at sea. This is not just history—it's a holy invitation for our generation. If God could shake a remote island off Scotland's coast, He can shake our homes, our cities, and our hearts today.
