Episode 124: Why Revival Tarries and Why We Aren't Ready For It

https://eyesonjesuspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/

In this powerful episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim unpack the timeless warnings and prophetic challenges from Ravenhill’s classic Why Revival Tarries and compare them to the state of today’s church. This is a bold, honest, and deeply convicting conversation about prayer, holiness, and the cost of genuine discipleship.

Ravenhill famously wrote, “The church is dying on its feet because it’s not living on its knees.” That theme echoes throughout this episode as the guys explore why prayer—not programming—is the true engine of revival. You’ll hear why revival can’t be manufactured, marketed, or branded… it must be birthed in brokenness, repentance, and a people who hunger for God more than anything else this world offers.

They discuss the urgency of the moment, the danger of celebrity-driven Christianity, and why entertainment has replaced intercession in many churches. And most importantly—they call believers back to personal revival: a daily pursuit of holiness, intimacy, and the presence of Jesus.
If you sense there must be “more” than what modern Christianity offers… this episode is for you.
