Summary
Have you ever felt the passion in your faith slowly fading?
Maybe there was a time when you couldn't wait to open your Bible, go to church, or talk about God. But somewhere along the way, your fire went out. Your enthusiasm faded. And now? You're in a spiritual funk—maybe even numb.
Well today, Dallas Theological Seminary President, Dr. Mark Yarbrough, joins us for a deeply honest and hope-filled conversation about what it means to revive a faith that's grown cold.
Mark explains why every believer is vulnerable to drifting spiritually—whether it's due to an abrupt hardship or a slow fade of familiarity—and he'll give you six essential markers of a rekindled heart, all of which are rooted in returning to your identity in Christ.
Oh friend, this conversation is not about trying harder or following a spiritual checklist. It's about pointing you back to the One who can set your heart ablaze again.

| 0:17.6 | And that's why in one sense I'm asking these questions of how can we revitalize, right, |
| 0:23.8 | our faith, if we find ourselves where it's not a blaze, or if we find ourselves in that moment |
| 0:29.1 | where it is blaze, how can we keep stoking the fire? |
| 0:36.0 | Consider this. Could it be that you started your spiritual life with a burst of joy and likely |
