Welcome to today's edition of One Single Story! Pastor Stephen Mizell and Pastor Jay Rivenbark are joined by Pastor Sheryl Daughety for a conversation on spiritual revival in Psalm 85. Who needs revival? What are the warning signs? And how do we rest in God's peace while walking in intentional holiness?

Scripture Focus: Psalm 85:1-13. A psalm of the sons of Korah, written after Israel's return from Babylonian exile. The psalmist recalls God's past mercy, asks Him to revive His people again, and warns them not to return to folly.

In This Episode:

• Psalm 85 as a model for prayer: thanking God and remembering what He has done before asking Him to act again
• Why "returning to folly" is a deliberate choice, not an accidental misstep
• Signs a church or believer needs revival: fatigue, apathy, self-focused motives, abandoned spiritual disciplines, tolerated sin, and indifference to lost people
• Warning signs that are harder to measure, such as worship becoming a performance instead of a delight
• How to balance resting in God's peace with pursuing holiness
• Salvation and sanctification: why our choices affect the depth and joy of our relationship with God, not our standing as His child
• How Psalm 85:10, where love and truth meet and righteousness and peace kiss, points to what Jesus accomplished on the cross

Key Quote: "You don't get disqualified from being a child of God because you return to folly."
