episode Freedom Was Never the Finish Line cover

Description

What should Christians do with the freedom God has given them? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares the story of David Avery, one of America's first military chaplains, and the believers who responded with courage and faith during a pivotal moment in history. Their example reminds us that God's blessings are never meant to lead us into complacency. Freedom is a gift, but it comes with responsibility. God calls His people to remain spiritually urgent, dependent on Him, and committed to advancing His kingdom in every generation. If you've grown discouraged, distracted, or spiritually comfortable, this message is an invitation to seek God again, pray for revival, and become part of what He wants to do in our time. The next Great Awakening will not begin through comfort—it will begin through believers who stay hungry for God. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

Martin Luther King Jr's Hidden Bible Verses in I Have a Dream

Did you know Martin Luther King Jr's famous I Have a Dream speech was built on four powerful Bible verses? In this episode of Daily Hope, we continue our journey through the Fourth Great Awakening, exploring how a pastor's kid from Ebenezer Baptist Church grew up to lead a nation through one of its most divided moments in history. You'll discover the four scriptures MLK quoted in his most famous speech, Amos 5:24, Isaiah 40:4-5, Psalm 30:5, and Galatians 3:28, and how faith fueled a movement toward love, unity, and truth when hatred and division threatened to tear the country apart. Daily Hope exists to help you grow closer to God every day through practical, Bible based teaching. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we're glad you're here.

The Man Who Led Billy Graham to Christ | Luke 1:50

What if one prayer you prayed today reached millions of people — long after you're gone? In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson tells the true story of Mordecai Ham, the traveling evangelist who led a 16-year-old farm boy named Billy to the Lord. That boy was Billy Graham — who went on to share the gospel with over 250 million people live, with more than two million known conversions. It all traces back to one faithful servant, on his knees in a hotel room, praying for souls he couldn't yet see. Luke 1:50 says God's mercy extends to those who fear Him from generation to generation. Mordecai Ham didn't know what God would do through that revival meeting in Charlotte. You don't know what God will do through yours either. Keep being faithful with the gifts you have. Text "DAILY" to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

How Billy Graham Led a President to Faith | The Fourth Great Awakening

On his deathbed, President Eisenhower looked at Billy Graham and asked: "Would you tell me again?" In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares the remarkable true story of how Billy Graham walked alongside Dwight D. Eisenhower — from the early days of his Presidency to his final hours at Walter Reed Army Hospital. At the heart of it all was the gospel: salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone, not by anything we can do for ourselves. This is what revival looks like up close. One faithful person, willing to share the gospel again and again, until a soul is ready. If you've ever wondered whether God can use you to reach someone important, this story is for you.

episode Could God Raise Up Another Billy Graham? artwork

Could God Raise Up Another Billy Graham?

Could God raise up another Billy Graham in our generation? History reminds us that He has done it before—and He can do it again. In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson begins exploring the Fourth Great Awakening through the remarkable story of Billy Graham and his friendship with President Dwight D. Eisenhower. As Billy Graham faithfully proclaimed the gospel, God opened unexpected doors to influence leaders, encourage spiritual renewal, and inspire millions to follow Christ. This message is a reminder that God doesn't just call pastors and evangelists—He raises up faithful men and women in every vocation to be lights for His kingdom. As we pray for the next Great Awakening, may God use each of us wherever He has placed us to point others to Jesus. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

Could the Next Great Awakening Happen in Our Lifetime?

Could the next Great Awakening happen in our lifetime? History reminds us that the God who brought revival before is still at work today. In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson introduces the Fourth Great Awakening and explains why many believers see God's hand at work through leaders like Billy Graham and the Jesus People Movement. Looking back isn't about celebrating history—it's about increasing our faith that God can bring revival again. As we continue praying through 2 Chronicles 7:14, may we be the people who humble ourselves, seek God's face, turn from our sin, and trust Him to do what only He can do. Revival begins with God's people, and each of us has a part to play. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day. Download the CP+ Spiritual Fitness App for more.
