Duncan said of the album 's message : " ( People ) have to understand that even though they might not be where they would like to be in their spirituality , they should not be discouraged or give up . " According to Duncan , the theme was something he was personally dealing with at the time of the album 's recording , and that he found peace during the process . '' Slow Revival '' , released in 1994 , peaked at number five on the '' Billboard '' Top Contemporary Christian chart . Three singles from the album - " Traces of Heaven " , " Things Are Gon na Change " , and " United We Stand " - reached number one on the Christian radio charts . In a review of the album , Mike Joyce of '' The Washington Post '' wrote that Duncan 's singing " is far more colorful on the funk tracks , particularly ' Wheels of a Good Thing , ' but even here his evangelical fervor is tempered by his sharp pop instincts . " '' Slow Revival '' was nominated in the Best Contemporary Album category at the 26th GMA Dove Awards
