The Awe and Mystery of Revival: Conversation with JD King
"Every revival looks messy when it starts. History tends to clean it up, but the truth is, God often moves in ways that challenge our sensibilities." – JD King
This week’s episode of the Unrefined Podcast was a special one. I had the privilege of sitting down with JD King, a man who has dedicated his life to exploring the depths of healing, revival, and the supernatural work of God. Growing up in a revivalist household, JD has seen and studied it all—from the tent meetings of the past to modern-day awakenings. What I loved most about our conversation was his balance of historical insight and practical wisdom. JD reminded me (and hopefully you!) that revival isn’t about hype or spectacle; it’s about encountering the raw, transformative power of God in ways that stir hearts and change lives.
One of the most jaw-dropping moments in the conversation was when JD shared the story of a man’s clavicle bone regrowing during prayer—yes, you read that right. I could feel my faith rising just listening to him recount it. But what struck me even more was how JD views healing as a toolbox with countless ways God works: through prayer, communion, confession, or even simple acts of faith. It was a powerful reminder that God’s methods are as diverse as His people, and there’s no formula for experiencing His power—just a willingness to step out in faith.
I left this conversation stirred, challenged, and more passionate than ever to chase after the things of God. Whether revival happens in church sanctuaries or around kitchen tables, JD’s insights reminded me that God’s presence is always near, waiting to be sought and experienced. If you’ve ever doubted the reality of miracles or wondered how revival can transform lives, you don’t want to miss this episode. Let it inspire you to embrace the supernatural, seek His presence, and walk boldly in the power of the Spirit!
