This is not just the first episode of 2026 — it’s a turning point.

In this episode of Revival Unmuted, Cas speaks candidly about the journey from performing for approval to living from presence and identity in God. He reflects on how shaming culture, unmet needs, and the deep desire to belong shaped a life of striving, people-pleasing, and self-built identity — and how God has been gently, persistently calling him out of performance and into surrender.

This episode marks a public commitment: Revival Unmuted is stepping forward as a full-time ministry, with a renewed focus on worship, storytelling, emotional wellbeing, and creating spaces where people can encounter God honestly and safely. Cas also shares why worshipping God and proclaiming Jesus — once something he shied away from — is now central to who he is becoming.

With humility and hope, Cas addresses themes many avoid: loneliness, longing, temptation, identity confusion, and the quiet exhaustion of trying to belong in a world that never quite feels like home. Rather than offering easy answers, this episode points to a deeper truth — that flourishing is found not in fitting in, but in following Christ.

You’ll also hear an invitation: to collaborate, to gather, to worship, to pray, to eat together, and to share stories of discovering who God says we are — both individually and as a community.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to perform to be accepted…

If you’ve wrestled with identity, shame, or delayed obedience…

If you’re tired of chasing the world and ready to walk with God…

This episode is for you.

Performance ends here. Presence begins.
