How to See Revival

What if the thing holding your team back from revival… isn’t lack of prayer, but trying to manufacture the moment instead of stewarding it? If you’re asking the Lord, “How to see revival”, then this episode is for you.

Alexander Pappas (‘A Great Awakening,’ and formerly Hillsong Young & Free) went on a year-long journey studying revival history, and the insights he gained completely shifted his perspective on what it takes for God to move.

We dive into:

• The one thing everyone thinks they have, but are often missing—ESPECIALLY worship team members

• How to See Revival – The 3 pillars present before every great documented move of God

• Why focusing on chasing “holy moments” blocks revival

If you’re tired of praying for “how to see revival” while staying stuck in the same patterns, this conversation will challenge you in the best way. The awakening you’re praying for might be closer than you think—it just doesn’t look like what you expected.

The Heart Behind “A Great Awakening”

Alexander Pappas’ powerful worship anthem “A Great Awakening” serves as both a prayer and a roadmap for those seeking to understand how to see revival in their generation. Released as his first solo project after his time with Hillsong Young & Free, this song carries the weight of historical spiritual movements like Azusa Street and the Toronto Blessing. The two-time GRAMMY nominee, who has penned worship anthems like “Alive,” “Wake,” and “Real Love,” believes that learning how to see revival starts with individual transformation rather than waiting for corporate moments.

From Individual Hearts to Corporate Awakening

“A Great Awakening” resonates with worshippers who sense that our world desperately needs another move of God, and Pappas crafted this song as a catalyst for that longing. He firmly believes that understanding how to see revival begins personally—with each individual heart crying out for God’s presence. The song’s title evokes powerful connections to monumental spiritual awakenings throughout history, stirring an overwhelming sensation that points believers toward the next great move of God.

A Call to Worship Leaders and Teams on How to See Revival

For worship leaders and teams seeking how to see revival manifest in their communities, “A Great Awakening” offers both inspiration and a call to personal surrender. This worship anthem challenges listeners to move beyond simply hoping for revival to actively pursuing the heart posture that invites God’s transformative power into their lives and churches.
