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.

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.

This is not a nostalgic glance into the past. It is a blueprint for the church today.
