What happens when the church stops chasing strategy and starts listening to the Spirit? In Acts 13:1-12, we see a church that worships before it plans, leaders who are set apart by God, and a gospel that advances in the face of spiritual opposition. This episode walks through how God still speaks today, how to discern false spiritual authority that disguises itself as truth, and how believers are called to stand with courage and clarity when deception resists the gospel. This is a practical and sobering call to rebuild spiritual attentiveness, recognize subtle opposition, and walk in Spirit-filled authority for the sake of Christ and His mission.

Acts 12:19-25 pulls back the curtain on how God truly governs history. As King Herod reaches the height of his power and accepts glory that belongs to God alone, his rule collapses in an instant. Yet while thrones fall and rulers fade, something far greater is happening quietly in the background, the Word of God is increasing and multiplying. In this episode, we walk through the sobering downfall of pride, the danger of stolen glory, and the unshakable reality of God's sovereignty over human power. More importantly, we are reminded where the church's focus must remain, not on reacting to collapsing systems, but on faithfully advancing the mission of Christ. This teaching calls believers to live anchored lives in chaotic times, resisting fear, rejecting pride, and investing in what is eternal. Kings come and go. God reigns. And His Word keeps moving forward.

Many believers pray faithfully yet struggle to see when God has already begun to move. Acts 12 shows a praying church asking for deliverance while the answer stands outside the door. This teaching offers practical insight into how disappointment, delay, and fear can dull spiritual expectation, and how to realign faith to recognize God's work in real time. Rooted in Scripture and everyday experience, it equips listeners to move from cautious prayer to confident obedience, from explaining away breakthroughs to stepping fully into them. Sometimes the breakthrough is not about praying harder, but about opening the door when God answers.

In this episode, we walk through Acts 11:1-18 and confront a truth the early church had to learn the hard way, God often moves beyond our expectations, categories, and comfort.

This teaching explores the tension between tradition and obedience, discernment and control, caution and faith. It challenges listeners to examine where sincerity may be resisting the Spirit.
