Revival: What It Really Means for the Church, Your Walk With God, and Society

🔥 What is revival? Is it just a church event, an emotional service, or something far deeper? In this episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson and co-host Michael Riley dive deep into the biblical meaning of revival, its purpose, and why it’s desperately needed today.

From Psalm 85:6 to 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Acts 3:19, you’ll discover:
✅ The true definition of revival according to Scripture
✅ Why revival is for believers first—and how it awakens entire regions
✅ The hallmarks of authentic revival and how to discern them from hype
✅ Practical steps to prepare your heart, home, and church for a move of God
✅ Hindrances that block revival and how to overcome them
✅ How to seek God’s face over His hand for lasting transformation

This episode is loaded with revival quotes from Leonard Ravenhill, A.W. Tozer, Charles Spurgeon, and David Wilkerson—and real-life stories of God’s presence transforming lives.

Welcome to another powerful episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, hosted by Ryan Johnson and co-host Michael Riley. In this revelatory episode, Ryan shares a message at Open Door Church in Burleson, Texas. Ryan delivers a prophetic and faith-filled teaching straight from Hebrews 11 and Genesis 22, exploring what it means to walk in Third-Day Faith—the kind of faith that sees the end of the story before it unfolds.

You’ll laugh, you’ll reflect, and you’ll be challenged to walk in obedient faith, even when logic and circumstance say otherwise. From Abraham’s radical obedience to prophetic insights on resurrection, promise, and destiny, this episode will ignite your spirit and equip you to move boldly into the promises of God.

If you’ve ever had a prophetic word, vision, or dream from God and wondered when—or if—it would ever come to pass, this message is for you.

Is being a “good person” enough? In this explosive episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson and Michael Riley expose the dangerous deception behind one of culture’s most accepted lies: “Just be a good person.”

Jesus didn’t call us to be good—He called us to be holy, humble, and fully surrendered to the Kingdom of God. This episode explores the distinction between worldly goodness and Kingdom righteousness, the weakening of our spiritual authority through compromise, and why the Kingdom mindset must govern every area of your life.

This is a must-hear for believers ready to trade cultural Christianity for radical obedience.

📖 Scriptures Mentioned: Matthew 18, Philippians 2, Colossians 3, Romans 12, Ephesians 6, Matthew 6:33, Genesis 15
🔑 Topics: identity, humility, kingdom living, instant gratification, faith in action
