From the historic outpouring at Azusa Street to today’s growing cries for national renewal, Troy Anderson and Pastor Caleb Cooper call believers to repentance, unity, and bold faith as a new wave of awakening rises.
As prayer meetings and reports of revival spring up in unexpected corners of America, voices of faith leaders are pointing back to a powerful spiritual legacy: the historic Azusa Street Revival. In a new episode of The Inspire Show’s Designated Disrupter Series, bestselling author and journalist Troy Anderson sits down with Pastor Caleb Cooper, a modern revivalist and recipient of the prestigious William J. Seymour Award, to explore how the fire that fell in 1906 still burns as a blueprint for awakening today.
Revival Begins with Repentance and the Presence of Jesus — Not Hype or Crowds
For Anderson—co-founder of Revelation Watchers and author of the forthcoming book Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival (Charisma House/Frontline, January 6, 2026)—the conversation with Cooper comes at a pivotal moment.
“Every great move of God begins with repentance,” Anderson said. “That was true in Nineveh, it was true at Azusa, and it’s the key for America right now.”
Cooper, now a leading figure at the Azusa Street Mission, believes that God is again calling His people to a deep, cleansing work.
Revival doesn’t begin with crowds or events, he explained. It begins with a remnant—men and women on their faces before God. We need the fire that purifies hearts, unites believers across racial and cultural divides, and releases the power of the Holy Spirit.
Throughout the interview, Cooper recounts remarkable moments of the fire and glory of God breaking into ordinary church services—including a two-month revival that transformed his own congregation in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
These moments remind us, he said, that revival is not about hype. It’s about the presence of Jesus Himself.
A Historic and Prophetic Thread
Anderson and Cooper also highlight the prophetic significance of Azusa Street, where William J. Seymour once declared, “The color line is washed away in the blood of Jesus.”
In an era still wrestling with division and unrest, that statement resonates as a prophetic call for the Church to model unity in Christ.
Anderson points out that leaders from previous awakenings—such as Billy Graham, Charles Finney, and Amy Semple McPherson—each carried a piece of the same vision: repentance, unity, the preaching of the cross, and the demonstration of God’s power through signs and wonders.
“Every generation has its disruptors—unlikely people God raises up to call a nation back to Himself,” Anderson said. “We believe the next great awakening is not just possible but urgent.”
A Timely Invitation
As the January 6, 2026 release of Designated Disrupter approaches, Anderson sees this season as a prophetic countdown.
“This is a Nineveh moment,” he said. “God is giving America another chance to turn back to Him before it’s too late.”
The episode closes with a call for viewers to pray, share their testimonies, and contend for revival in their own communities.
Revival is not just history, Cooper added. It’s our future if we humble ourselves and seek the Lord.

A Prophetic Call to Stand Ready
As fires of awakening flicker in unexpected places, the message from Anderson and Cooper is unmistakable:
The same God who moved at Azusa Street still moves today—and He is calling His people to repentance, prayer, and bold faith for the days ahead.
A Prophetic Prayer for This Hour
Sovereign Lord,
In these turbulent days, when the nations rage and hearts grow faint, we turn our eyes to You—the One who shakes the heavens and the earth yet promises to pour out His Spirit on all flesh.
We pray for a mighty outpouring of repentance and revival across America and the nations.
Awaken Your Church to be watchful, prayerful, and bold in proclaiming the Gospel.
Break the chains of fear, division, and deception.
Raise up a remnant of faithful witnesses who will stand in the gap for their families, communities, and leaders.
Let the fire that once burned at Azusa Street ignite again, drawing millions to the cross before the great and final day of the Lord.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
An Invitation to Receive Christ
If you sense the Holy Spirit drawing you, don’t wait another day.
You can surrender to Christ right now with a simple, heartfelt prayer:
Lord Jesus,
I confess that I have sinned and need Your mercy. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I turn away from my old ways and place my trust in You alone. Come into my heart, cleanse me, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. From this day forward, I choose to follow You and live as Your disciple.
In Your holy name I pray, Amen.
A Word of Encouragement
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of God!
We urge you to tell someone about your decision, get connected to a Bible-believing church, and grow strong in prayer and the Word.
The Lord has called you for such a time as this.
