Today on Revive Our Hearts, Pastor Chris Brooks directs our attention to the fact that Jesus is coming back soon.

How should that affect the way we live? I think it should revive our passions.

Jesus has already promised a victory, and he wants us to live with an urgency to know him and to make him known.

Welcome to the Revive Our Hearts podcast for January 29th, 2025.

I'm Dana Gresh.

Our host is the author of Incomparable, Nancy DeMas, welcomeers.

There's a special group of men and women who help provide leadership to revive our hearts that you need to know about.

And that's our board of directors.

I am so thankful for these godly followers of Jesus and how they generously give their time, their prayers,

and their wisdom to help keep us accountable as a ministry, to help us know where to focus our

energy, and to encourage us to best steward the resources God has entrusted to us.

So thanks to our board of directors.

When our board met last August in person,

we asked them to share with our Reviver Hearts team during our regular chapel time. The message

you're about to hear came from that chapel. Pastor Chris Brooks may be familiar to you. He hosts a daily

program called Equipped, and it's a great privilege and honor to have him serving on our board of directors, along with the chairman of our board, Bob Lapine, who asked Chris a few questions before he opened the word for us. Here's Bob.

What's just on your heart right now as you look at the church where we are in America, evangelicals. What's

God stirring in your own heart?

Yeah, I think above all that we need to fix our eyes on Jesus. Ultimately, and it was

the late great Chuck Colson who said this again and again, salvation doesn't fly in on the

wings of Air Force One. Politics have their place.

We should be civically engaged, but ultimately our hope is in heaven.
