What If True Revival Begins With “I Just Want You”?

Send us a textHungry for a faith that feels alive again? We open the doors wide and sit with the difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him—then trace a path back through focused worship, honest repentance, and adoration that costs us something. Fresh from a fire conference and renewed purpose, we share how chasing God’s presence reshapes our priorities, heals burnout, and clarifies our mission to make disciples.We anchor the conversation in Mary’s alabaster moment from the Gospels—a vivid picture of humility and extravagant love. Her choice to dismantle her glory and honor Jesus exposes our preference for performance over presence and challenges the way many modern services are built. Are our gatherings tailored for God’s delight or our comfort? We talk about seeking God’s face over His hand, the danger of overanalyzing spiritual life, and the power of quieting every distraction to enter the secret place where peace and transformation take root.We also face a hard truth about judgment: we say we want the lost saved, yet we often recoil at their mess. Through Scripture and transparent stories, we call for compassion that tells the truth and refuses hypocrisy. Along the way, we share updates about our growing global community, new discipleship plans (including video), and an open invitation to connect and send prayer requests. If your heart is ready to say, “Jesus, I just want You,” this conversation will help you make room—trading routine for relationship and blessings for the blesser.If this spoke to you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find the Christian Cafe. We’d love to hear your story and your prayer needs—reach out and join the conversation.Support the show

The Purpose of His Presence

Send us a textHave we been seeking God's blessings instead of God Himself? This profound question cuts to the heart of why many Christians struggle to impact those around them.Tommy Tenney's "The God Chaser" challenges us to examine what truly draws people to faith. It's not our programs, strategies, or even our words - it's the unmistakable presence of God that lingers on us after genuine encounter. When we carry this "divine radiation zone," people sense something different without explanation.The concept of presence evangelism represents a radical shift from traditional approaches. Rather than merely sharing information about God, what if we carried such an atmosphere of His presence that demons fled, healing happened, and conviction fell simply because we walked into a room? This isn't hyperbole - it's precisely what happened throughout scripture and church history when individuals prioritized intimate communion with God above everything else.A sobering reality confronts American Christianity today. While convenience stores remain open 24/7 to meet physical needs, most churches operate only two hours weekly while claiming to offer the Bread of Life. Not one of the world's 50 largest churches is in America, despite our centuries of missionary endeavors. The issue isn't that people lack hunger for spiritual reality - it's that we've offered stale religious experience instead of fresh bread from heaven.The pathway forward requires brokenness and genuine repentance. There are no shortcuts to revival. God's glory manifests when His people weep between the porch and the altar, crying out for mercy. Only then will strangers approach us in stores, restaurants, and public spaces, drawn irresistibly to the presence we carry.Are you hungry simply for God's blessings, or for God Himself? This distinction makes all the difference. When we seek His face rather than His hand, we discover the true purpose of His presence - not just personal fulfillment, but transformation that ripples outward to a world desperate for authentic encounter.What would your life look like if you pursued God with such intensity that no one could be near you without meeting Him?Support the show
