Shownotes

In this powerful episode of Kingdom Reformation, we dive deep into the life, ministry, and legacy of Evan Roberts, the flame-bearer of the Welsh Revival of 1904–1905. Drawing from Roberts Liardon's God's Generals and historical records, we examine the complexities behind the man who once held a nation in the palm of his hand — and what caused his stunning spiritual collapse.

You’ll discover:

  • How a coal miner with a hunger for God ignited a national awakening
  • The four simple yet powerful keys that sparked revival
  • Why the Holy Spirit’s power demands wisdom, rest, and maturity
  • The painful influence of Jessie Penn-Lewis and the danger of isolation
  • Why revival doesn’t end with the leader — it lives or dies with the people

This is not just a history lesson — it's a call to our generation. Can we carry revival and remain whole? Can we avoid the mistakes of the past while embracing the fire of the Spirit today?
