Metro District Podcast

What does it take for a church, a family, or a whole district to be ready for a fresh move of God? In this complete series of Blueprint for Revival, Mike Plunket lays out God’s blueprint for renewal across nine teachings. He draws on Scripture and on his study of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Finney, and Tim Keller. The series opens with three words, Resistance, Renewal, and Resilience, then moves through Isaac re-digging his father’s wells, the real community of Acts 2, and t...

Jesus doesn't teach us to pray to a king, a judge, or even a friend. He teaches us to pray to a Father. In the final episode of Blueprint for Revival, Mike Plunket unpacks that one word — Father — and how it changes everything about how we approach God.

Mike unpacks how Jesus deliberately flips the lawyer's whole framework, putting the despised outsider in the position of power and the reli...

You were built with what Mike Plunket calls an "adoration apparatus" — you were made to worship. The only real question is what you'll worship.

Mike shows that worship, at its root, is "worth-ship" — recognizing something's worth and responding to it, the way a new mother re...

Three thousand people baptized in one day. That's not a strategy — that's a visitation. In this episode of Blueprint for Revival, Mike Plunket sits with a question most of us skip when we read Acts 2: not "how do we admire this?" but "what would it look like if this happened to us?" Mike shows that revival isn't better programs or getting the culture right — it's the Holy Spirit making Jesus real, not theoretical, to a people and through them to a watching world. Drawing on Tim Keller's "five...
