Prepare to be deeply inspired by this transformative episode of The Cory Lee Show, titled "Reviving Dead Things." In this soul-stirring conversation, host Cory Lee sits down with Pastor Lance Lowell of Neighborhood Church in Modesto, California, for an honest, hope-filled exploration on building leaders, reigniting dreams, and reviving both individuals and communities through authentic faith and relentless pursuit of God’s calling.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
Lance Lowell’s Real-Life Testimony: Hear Pastor Lance’s powerful journey from resisting the call to ministry, to reluctantly becoming a senior pastor, and leading a spiritually, financially, and reputationally "dead" church back to vibrant life and renewal. His story is a testimony to the resurrecting power of God and the profound impact of saying "yes" to an unexpected destiny.
Reviving Dead Dreams & Disappointments: Learn how old dreams, disappointments, and dead places in our hearts aren't beyond hope. Drawing from the biblical story of Elisha and the Shunammite woman, Pastor Lance illustrates how God brings life to dead things when we dare to face them and make room for the Holy Spirit.
Power of Unity & Community Revival: Dive deep into examples of how churches in California are laying down denominational barriers, uniting for city-wide worship nights, and witnessing miracles of salvation, healing, and genuine community impact amidst challenges and cultural shifts.
Hearing the Voice of God: Both Cory and Lance vulnerably discuss practical, grounded steps for anyone wondering how to discern God’s voice—from nurturing a deep love for scripture, cultivating a life of prayer and listening, to seeking confirmation in community and accepting the often-unexpected nature of God’s call.
The Journey of Consecration & Sacrifice: Be challenged and uplifted by fresh insights on consecration—not as a legalistic list of do’s and don’ts, but as a relational invitation into devotion, daily sacrifice, and staying “on the altar” for God’s purposes. With stirring imagery from Leviticus, Pastor Lance explains how continual surrender keeps our spiritual fire burning hot and opens the door for lasting revival.
A Prophetic Call for Revival in Our Time: From the current spiritual climate in California to the global need for church renewal, Pastor Lance shares prophetic encouragement and firsthand stories of what God is doing in our day—reminding listeners that God specializes in breathing life where there’s been death and calling forth destiny in the most unlikely places.
Practical Leadership & Personal Growth: Cory and Lance offer actionable wisdom for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking to impact their world. Whether you’re rebuilding after disappointment or stepping into a new calling, this episode is packed with tools to help you grow, lead, and make a difference
