What does it take for a church, a family, or a whole district to be ready for a fresh move of God? In this complete series of Blueprint for Revival, Mike Plunket lays out God’s blueprint for renewal across nine teachings. He draws on Scripture and on his study of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Finney, and Tim Keller.

The series opens with three words, Resistance, Renewal, and Resilience, then moves through Isaac re-digging his father’s wells, the real community of Acts 2, and the twelve stones of Joshua 4 that help us remember what God has done. Mike shows how “Jesus plus nothing” transformed Saul into Paul, what happens when the Spirit falls on a church, and what it means to worship in spirit and truth. It ends with the proactive compassion of the Good Samaritan and an invitation to approach God as Father, not landlord.

Along the way, Mike shares personal stories, from a near-fatal bout of malaria in Uganda to his young son giving away his allowance in Costa Rica.

Jesus doesn't teach us to pray to a king, a judge, or even a friend. He teaches us to pray to a Father. In the final episode of Blueprint for Revival, Mike Plunket unpacks that one word — Father — and how it changes everything about how we approach God.

Mike draws out the difference between two ways of living in the same house: a tenant, whose place rests on a contract and whose currency is performance, and a child, whose place rests on relationship and whose currency is belonging. He shows how this reshapes not just what we can ask God for, but why we'd ever expect to be heard — because a child doesn't have to convince a Father who already knows and already loves.

Mike closes with Corrie ten Boom's story of trusting her own father even amid the fear of Nazi-occupied Holland, and a simple, personal challenge: are you praying like a tenant tracking your performance, or a child who already belongs?

A lawyer asks Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" — not looking for information, but for a boundary, a place where love can stop. In this episode of Blueprint for Revival, Mike Plunket walks through the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10) and shows why social compassion isn't optional for a Spirit-filled church — it's the fruit that proves the tree is alive.

Mike unpacks how Jesus deliberately flips the lawyer's whole framework, putting the despised outsider in the position of power and the religious insider in the position of powerlessness. He traces this same call through Matthew 25's sheep and goats and James's blunt warning that faith without works is dead — not as a way to earn favor with God, but as visible evidence of a justification that's already complete in Christ.

The episode closes with a simple, personal story: Mike's five-year-old son giving away his entire allowance to a homeless man in Costa Rica, understanding something many adults miss — "that's all right, Daddy. You have more."
