Voices of Revival - Shownotes

---

Guest: Pastor Brian Erisman
Host: Bradley Higgins

In this deeply personal and Spirit-filled conversation, Pastor Brian Erisman of Pinnacle Point Church shares his powerful journey of ministry, wilderness, failure, and redemption. From preaching his first sermon at 15 to hiding in a church balcony years later, Brian opens up about the long road that led to planting a church in the heart of Miamisburg, Ohio—inside a restored, single-screen historic theater.

Bradley and Brian uncover how their stories echo each other—two men once paralyzed by past failure, now walking boldly in obedience. This is more than a story of a church plant. It’s a story of process, positioning, and the relentless love of God that calls us out of hiding and back into purpose.

• Wilderness Seasons: What happens when what you start doesn’t work—and how God still uses it.
   
• Obedience Over Outcome: Why planting a church isn't about filling a gap, but fulfilling a calling.
   
• Hiding in the Multitude: What it looks like to love God but avoid true community—and how the Spirit calls us out.
   
• Hearing God’s Voice: Understanding communion with the Holy Spirit as a two-way conversation.
   
• From Ruins to Revival: The symbolic restoration of a city theater and a ministry calling, tied together by divine timing.
   

• “God wastes nothing.” Even failed attempts become seeds in the soil of what God is about to grow.
   
• Planting a church is about building healthy discipleship-driven community—not just filling a Sunday schedule.
   
• Many Christians "hide in the multitude." God is calling His people into intimacy and real relationship.
   
• Hearing God's voice is not a mystery. “My sheep know my voice.” It's cultivated in time, positioning, and removing distractions.
   
• Revival is not in methods, but in yielded hearts. As Brian says: “We’re not following a 12-step plan. We’re just following the Spirit.”
   

Pinnacle Point Church meets every Sunday at 10:45 AM inside the Plaza Theatre in downtown Miamisburg, Ohio. More details and updates can be found on their Facebook page.

"You're never going to be content or have true joy until you yield yourself back to God. You were created by Him, for Him—and He's not content letting you hide in the multitude." — Pastor Brian Erisman
