The Gospel Will Usher in a Great Awakening in America w/ Mario Murillo

Tom Crandall

In this episode, Tom Crandall interviews Mario Murillo and they discuss the Gospel bringing a great awakening in America, what is evangelism, and how it applies to the political and cultural climate today.


Mario Murillo rose from poverty in the Mission District of San Francisco.  After being revolutionized by Christ, he felt a call to the University of California at Berkeley. 


His international ministry was launched after a 4-day conference in San Jose California extended for 6 months with a total attendance of nearly 250,000 people.


Since then Mario’s voice has been heard by millions around the world, bringing a message that zeroes in on the hurts of society.  He presents Christ clearly, intelligently and openly declares the power of Jesus to totally transform a life.  His simple declaration: Come and see.  Christ has the power to end addiction, racism, violence and disease.

Anxiety began to rise in me as I was about to preach a crusade in Oroville, CA. The room was packed, electric, and expectant. I walked behind the stage and began to fight thoughts that were trying to make me afraid, “Do I have what it takes to do this?” “What if I miss it?” “Have I prepared myself enough for this moment?” I knew I couldn’t afford to let these thoughts settle, so I began to thank God for who He is, declare truth, and refocus on Christ and my assignment to serve this city. The nervous feeling didn’t go away, but the gripping fear did. This was about Christ, not me, and the enemy was trying to distract me with fear and anxiety, but God was refocusing me. The breakthrough that night was huge. In three days, around 200 people committed their lives to Jesus Christ, and over 20 churches were united around the gospel. It was a big victory for the Kingdom of God, but it didn’t come without a fight. There is always a fight. Fear, and its cousin anxiety, have an assignment: paralyze, immobilize, and make us small. We’ve all felt it, but did you know that in Christ, it’s more than possible to rule over fear? I have wrestled this demon more times than I can count, but I have learned a few things that have empowered me to blast through fear, live big, and fulfill the call of God on my life that I want to share with you!
