How can Christians change today’s culture and help bring spiritual awakening to America? Pastor Greg Laurie turns to the story of Jonah to reveal two powerful resources available to every church: prayer and the faithful preaching of the gospel.
Speaking directly to pastors and ministry leaders, Greg explains why evangelism must remain central to the mission of the church. Culture and technology may change, but every generation—including Gen Z and Gen Alpha—still needs the clear, uncompromised message of Jesus Christ.
Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical encouragement, Greg challenges Christians to develop an evangelistic culture, recognize opportunities to share their faith, and remember that revival must first begin within God’s people. Before God could use Jonah to awaken Nineveh, He had to awaken Jonah.
If you are praying for revival, seeking encouragement in ministry, or wondering how the church can reach the next generation, this message will remind you that God can still transform individuals, churches, cities, and nations.
