From Oklahoma to Ukraine: Revival, Resilience, and Raising World-Changers | Joshua Nations Podcast
Monday, 5 January, 2026
In this episode of the Joshua Nations Podcast, Jason Holland sits down with longtime friend and global missionary Jerry Chalk for an honest, powerful conversation about revival, obedience, loss, and God’s faithfulness.Jerry shares his remarkable journey from being a 16-year-old called into ministry in Oklahoma to spending 17 years as a missionary in Ukraine, witnessing mass salvation, miraculous healings, and the planting of hundreds of churches following the fall of the Soviet Union. Together, they explore what made the Ukrainian church so spiritually vibrant, the culture of honor and discipleship that fueled explosive growth, and why those same models are often difficult to implement in the Western church.The conversation also turns deeply personal as Jerry opens up about walking through divorce after 23 years of marriage, how God met him in the valley, and how ministry fruit actually multiplied during one of the hardest seasons of his life. He shares how God restored joy, renewed purpose, and brought new life, including the blessing of an upcoming marriage and seeing his son step into ministry leadership.This episode is also a powerful conversation on fatherhood, discipleship in the home, and raising the next generation to follow Jesus with conviction in a rapidly changing culture.Whether you care about missions, church leadership, revival, or raising godly children, this episode offers wisdom, encouragement, and a renewed vision for the Great Commission.Topics covered:Revival and church growth in post-Soviet UkraineDiscipleship models that mobilize the whole churchCultural differences between Western and global churchesWalking through personal loss with faithRaising children who love Jesus and live the missionWhy revival is born through prayer, fasting, and obedience
