Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth and Revive Our Hearts mark a quarter century by revisiting beginnings, testimonies of surrender, and a six-week Bible study offer that follows the theme of saying “Yes, Lord.”
This anniversary episode highlights stories of surrender across 25 years and encourages listeners to follow God’s plan by saying “Yes, Lord.”
As part of the anniversary, listeners who give this month receive a six-week Bible study, Devoted: Six Women of the Bible Who Said "Yes, Lord!" covering Mary, the Samaritan woman, Sarah, Hannah, the Shunammite woman, and Anna.
# What this episode does
# How the program began
The episode traces Revive Our Hearts back to an earlier radio program, Gateway to Joy, hosted by Elisabeth Elliot. Dannah Gresh shares a memory of listening to radio programs with family, and Sarah Booth recalls her mother's habit of tuning in to Elliot's broadcasts. That lineage culminated in a rebranded program announced as Revive Our Hearts—the first episode aired on Monday, September 3 (the program's first Revive episode is quoted in the episode transcript).
Bob Lepine introduced Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth on that opening broadcast, asking about her hopes for the ministry. Nancy's calling and public ministry are a throughline in the anniversary reflections.
# Themes: surrender, faithfulness, and storytelling
The episode centers on a simple question: what happens when you say "Yes, Lord"? Contributors tell stories that point to practical outcomes of surrender—personal transformation, unexpected opportunities for service, and perseverance through hard seasons. The program frames these themes with biblical reading: the hosts note they're following a 2026 Bible Reading Plan and are on Daniel 10–12 during the anniversary broadcast.
# The anniversary offering
To thank listeners who give any amount during the month, Revive Our Hearts is offering a free resource titled Devoted: Six Women of the Bible Who Said "Yes, Lord!" It is a six-week study that focuses on Mary (the mother of Jesus), the Samaritan woman at the well, Sarah, Hannah, the Shunammite woman, and Anna. Each weekly study is intended to connect biblical examples of surrender with seasons of waiting, longing, loss, and joy.
# What listeners can expect
# Why it matters to the audience
Listeners who have followed the program will find affirmation in shared memories and continuity. New listeners get a concise picture of the program's emphasis—biblical teaching paired with real-life testimonies about saying yes to God's call.
The broadcast invites listeners to examine their own next steps of faith and to adopt a posture of saying "Yes, Lord" as an ongoing orientation into the future.
