Revival is at the heart of the Christian story. From the inspired fires of Pentecost to the revival at Cane Ridge, Kentucky in 1801, it is particularly significant in the beginnings of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). 

But are we, as  communities of faith, in need of another revival? If so, what might that look like in the 21st century?

In this episode we explore these questions and others related to the vitality and relevance of the Christian Church today, and particularly in the Colorado Rocky Mountain Region. We spoke with two pastors who are living out revival in their own communities, and they share what they believe we need, as followers of Jesus, to revive the movement that began two thousand years ago. 

Our first guest is Reg Cox, who has been a pastor for twenty-one years. Reg now manages a nonprofit in Lakewood, Colorado called Lakewood Connects, which connects local churches together and facilitates coordination of support services among churches, local business, government entities and others. 

We asked him whether he believes we’re in need of a new revival, and how a shift in perspective may help us get there.
