Summary
The day after Easter, in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, what does it all mean spiritually? And how should we pray? And is this the start of revival? WHAT DO WE NOT KNOW HERE.
I've long wanted to have Jon Tyson, author and pastor of Church of the City New York, on the podcast. He's one of my all time favorite pastors, and he has done the WORK to be an expert for us on revival and prayer and the ways of God. ALERT THIS IS A NOTE TAKER EPISODE. You're gonna want to remember lots of this.
Check out Jon's books, and he'll be back later in the summer to talk about his newest one, Beautiful Resistance.

| 0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun. I'm your host Annie F. Downs. |
| 0:08.2 | So happy to be here with you. Happy Easter. I hope you got to celebrate in some way yesterday. |
| 0:14.5 | The music in the background is from our good buddy Mr. Tornwell's. Make sure you grab |
| 0:17.7 | the copy of his album, Citizen of Heaven. Friends we have loved partnering with International |
| 0:23.2 | Justice Mission these last couple of weeks. It's the largest anti-slavery organization in |
| 0:27.7 | the world. And they work to rescue people out of slavery and sex trafficking and walk with |
| 0:32.0 | survivors until they are restored and thriving in freedom. I have loved getting to tell their |
| 0:38.1 | stories. It's like such a privilege for us and for IJM in this time to be sharing their brightest |
| 0:43.8 | stories of hope with the world to remind us all that on the other side of tragedy there is hope. |
| 0:49.6 | And today I'd like to share one of those stories with you. Today's story comes to us from Kenya, |
| 0:54.1 | where IJM works to end the corruption and abuse of power by police. You may have heard us tell |

| 1:11.4 | commit. Literally one evening he was just going about his business when a group of these corrupt |
| 1:15.8 | officers shot him and left him for dead. David crawled to a nearby hospital, was immediately |
| 1:21.3 | taken into surgery and where they had to amputate his arm. But when those police officers heard he |
| 1:26.9 | was still alive and they wanted to arrest him, the hospital staff refused to let them take him away. |
| 1:33.0 | And when David woke up his arm was gone and he was handcuffed to his bed. The community heard |
| 1:38.1 | about David's situation began to rally and supportive him and it was David against a corrupt |
| 1:43.0 | group of police and there was no way he could afford a lawyer but that's when IJM stepped in |
| 1:48.1 | and provided David with a lawyer. They tried his case in court and he was set free and the police |
| 1:53.4 | officers were arrested. Throughout the trial David asked God to make him a crusader for justice and |
