🔥 SUMMARY:

Title: “From Famine to Feast: Rekindling the Burden for the Lost”

In this deeply impactful panel episode of Voices of Revival, host Bradley Higgins gathers five powerhouse voices—Pastors Brian Erisman and Cody Hembree, Evangelist Ryan Young, Evangelist George Williams, and Worship Pastor Mikey Lamb—for a roundtable conversation unlike any other. Together, they confront the state of the modern church, the call to deeper discipleship, and the urgency of regaining a burden for the lost.

What unfolds is a raw and spiritually charged exchange that touches the core of what it means to lead in this hour. These leaders don’t hold back as they address spiritual apathy, the idolization of platforms, and the fear many feel around fully operating in the gifts of the Spirit. George Williams laments the church’s impotent model of growth over reproduction, and Cody Hembree calls for leaders to return to spiritual fatherhood, recognizing the next generation isn’t a threat—but the assignment.

Ryan Young emphasizes the need for demonstration, not just eloquence—a call back to the raw, Spirit-empowered witness of the early church. Mikey Lamb challenges listeners to tear down man-made altars built for personality-driven ministry and rebuild altars where Christ is central, even if that means tearing down physical stages. Brian Erisman offers wisdom on vulnerability and building people, not empires.

Throughout the discussion, a sobering theme emerges: We must stop settling for spiritual survival and start mobilizing for Kingdom multiplication. It’s time to get out from behind church walls, shepherd with integrity, and steward the power of the Spirit—not for fame, but for souls.

💥 MOST POWERFUL QUOTE FROM THE EPISODE:

“You can be like the king standing on the wall pretending you still have a kingdom, or you can be like the lepers who got tired of starving, stepped out in faith, and walked into the enemy’s camp—only to find it empty and overflowing with provision.” – Mikey Lamb
