[MUSIC FADE UNDER]
(0:20–1:45) OPENING WORSHIP + REFRAMED LYRICMATT (warm, reverent):
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me… all His wondrous compassion and purity.
Oh Thou Spirit divine… all my nature refine… till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me.
And today—just for a moment—I’m going to shift the lyric, because it fits where we’re going:
O let the gift He has given flow out of me… for all His wondrous compassion and purity.
O Thou Spirit divine… all my nature refine… till the gift You have given flows out from me…
Till the gift You have given flows out from me.
[PAUSE 2 beats]
(1:45–3:40) WELCOME + SERIES FRAMEMATT (signature upbeat):
Good day, good day, Kingdom Corner followers and devotees—The Great Matt Gibe with you once again—coming to you from the Pacific Northwest, where the coffee is strong, the air is crisp today… and I’ve had the past tapping me on the shoulder these last few days.
Welcome back to our series—Kingdom People in the Pages of History—where we look at people, places, and events… and we lay biblical truth right alongside them… and we glean. We extract. We learn. We repent where we need to repent… we adjust where we need to adjust… and we find courage where we need courage.
Because people learn through stories. They remember through stories.
Jesus told parables for a reason.
And today… we have a true story from history that deserves to be sung again.
(3:40–5:45) BOOK + TITLE + FRIDAY PLUGMATT:
We’re stepping into a new chapter in this history series, drawn from David Maraniss’ powerful biography:
Path Lit by Lightning: The Life of Jim Thorpe.
And the title I’m using for today is this:
Lightning Rises: The Awakening of Jim Thorpe.
Now—quick reminder—our rhythm is usually Tuesdays and Fridays. Fridays we’re continuing our reading through Power and Authority Over Darkness by Angela Greenig—spiritual warfare, discernment, and how the enemy tries to move in patterns. This Friday we’ll be touching divination, familiar spirits, and the antichrist spirit. You do not want to miss it.
But today… settle in. Because I’m excited about this one.
(5:45–7:30) ELDREDGE / IRENAEUS HOOKMATT (slower, weightier):
As I’ve been reading and studying Jim Thorpe… a thought came back to me from John Eldredge’s book Waking the Dead. He opens with a quote from the second century—St. Irenaeus:
“The glory of God is man fully alive.”
Let that sink in.
Not a man merely surviving.
Not a man merely coping.
Not a man merely existing.
Fully alive.
And in this story—Jim Thorpe is a picture of a gift being awakened… like lightning splitting the sky… sudden, undeniable… impossible to ignore.
(7:30–10:45) COFFEE SHOP STORY / “WE FORGOT HIM”MATT (storytelling tone):
Not long ago, I sat in a local coffee shop. Two young people behind the counter—baristas—one about eighteen, the other mid-twenties.
And I decided to run a little experiment.
I asked:
“Have you ever heard the name Jim...
