Can Revival Really Happen Again? Finding Faith in the Middle of the Storm - August 12, 2026

Can revival really happen in America again? And what does faith look like when life gives you every reason to question God?
On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve looks at encouraging signs of spiritual hunger among young adults and college students across the country. In a culture that can make revival seem impossible, there are signs that a generation is searching for something deeper, authentic, and lasting—and finding that answer in Jesus.
Then, Steve sits down with Pastor Michael Loudermilk for an extraordinarily personal conversation about his 7-year-old daughter, Abigail, who is battling an aggressive brain tumor. Michael shares what it means to trust God's sovereignty while simultaneously experiencing grief, confusion, anger, and lament. Rather than offering easy answers, he talks about discovering the language of the Psalms and learning that genuine faith can include crying out to God when you don't understand what He's doing.
Michael also shares encouraging news from Abigail's first post-radiation scan and how his family's battle has deepened the faith and relationships within their church community.
Plus, Steve explores Jonah and the revival of Nineveh in Seek & Find, talks about Drew Brees publicly sharing his Christian faith, looks at the spiritual hunger being expressed by a younger generation, delivers the Dad Joke of the Day, and continues this week's Faith Between Our Ears memory verse—Hebrews 11:6.
And today's Your Next Step is simple but important: pray for revival—and don't give up.
The Steve Marston Show is a daily journey in learning how to live more like Jesus—combining biblical truth, meaningful conversations, encouragement, and a little fun along the way.
