Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Measure of Revival, we journey into the story of Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s crippled son, who was carried from obscurity in Lo-debar to a seat at King David’s table. His life reminds us that revival is not about our strength, ability, or pedigree — it is about the King’s covenant of kindness. Just as Mephibosheth was lifted from shame into honor, so too revival lifts us from barrenness into belonging. This is the grace of God: He restores what is broken, redeems what is forgotten, and redefines who we are and were we are seated in the process. David, a type and shadow of Jesus, reminds us that the invitation of the King is available to us just as we are. What you’ll hear in this episode:How Mephibosheth’s brokenness points us to our own need for God's kindness, and that God uses even the broken things in our life to seat us as a table of blessing.The meaning of “Lo-debar” (a place of no pasture or baronness ) and its spiritual parallel to our own lives.Why the King's invitation is available to us despite our circumstances and season.The kindness of God that always remembers His people from generation to generation.Focus Verses:📖 2 Samuel 9:1-13 — Verse 7: “Don’t be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”Reflection Question:Have you ever found yourself in Lo-debar?
