In this episode of More Faith, More Life, Pastor Steve Gray confronts a hard truth facing our nation and the Church. While society grows more divided and louder on every side, the Church has grown quiet where it matters most. Drawing from Scripture, revival history, and firsthand experience, Steve explains why true unity will never come through opinions, politics, or culture—but only through a genuine encounter with the living God. This is a call to rediscover real revival, real transformation, and a faith that still has the power to change people and nations.

Key Takeaways:

• Revival is crucial for bridging the divide created by conflicting societal opinions.
• True spiritual awakening involves encountering the living God, leading to personal and communal transformation.
• Historical revivals, like the Smithton Outpouring, demonstrate the potential for lasting impact when communities passionately pursue God.
• The silent church must find its voice to unify and guide societies through spiritual truths.
• A revival focused on biblical principles can lead to a harmonious society, healing divisions, and providing clear moral direction.

In this episode, Pastor Steve Gray wrestles with one of the biggest questions of our time: what is truth. Steve anchors the conversation in Scripture, from Pilate’s question to the closing warning in Judges, where everyone did what was right in their own eyes. He explains how truth is not something we invent, it is something God reveals, and Jesus makes it clear that there is a side of truth and it has a voice. Drawing from revival history and the story of Esther, Steve warns that comfort can create a false sense of security, and that believers must recognize the moment they are living in and speak with clarity. The episode is a call back to the center, Jesus, and a call forward into unity, conviction, and revival.

Key Takeaways:

• The current societal landscape is filled with confusion over what constitutes truth, making it crucial for believers to return to biblical principles and seek divine guidance.
• The Book of Judges illustrates the dangers of lacking a unified truth, serving as a parallel to the disunity seen in many modern churches.
• Not having an agreed truth within the Church could weaken the community's ability to counteract anti-Christian agendas in society.
• Historical and biblical narratives point to the importance of collective agreement to preserve order and resist oppressive movements.
• Revival and agreed-upon truth within the Church could bring about necessary spiritual and societal change, emphasizing the importance of focusing on God’s presence and guidance.

In this episode of the More Faith, More Life podcast, Pastor Steve Gray explores the concept of being a "new creation" in Christ as we transition into a new year. Using his extensive knowledge gained through years as a worship artist and minister, Steve delves into the process of aligning with God's creative power to transform believers into new creatures. This transformation allows Christians to achieve more for their families, careers, and spiritual fulfillment.

Steve emphasizes that becoming a new creation is not merely about self-improvement or turning over a new leaf. Drawing on references from 2 Corinthians 5:17 and discussing the Greek context, Steve explains that believers gain a "new operating system," enabling them to live as new creatures with Kingdom-focused priorities. Keywords like "new creature," "new creation," and "kingdom of God" are pivotal as he stresses the ongoing transformation process that believers undergo to become distinct, eternal beings.

Key Takeaways:

• Embrace the concept that Christians are a "new creation" with an ongoing transformation, rather than simply improving from the past.
• Recognize that being in Christ means operating on a new system, different from the world's norms, characterized by God's eternal values.
• Understand that eternity is already present within believers, providing unlimited potential for spiritual and personal development.
• Realize that the change into a new creature involves practical faith in the new creation system, departing from self-centeredness toward wholehearted loyalty to God.
• Acknowledge the importance of actively choosing the new creation mindset over the old, ensuring continuous spiritual growth and fulfillment.
