Day 319 | Acts 15:22–17:15
Conflict and truth-seeking mark this part of Paul’s journey. When Paul and Barnabas disagree over John Mark, their partnership ends—but God uses even their separation to send out more missionaries. Later, in Berea, Paul meets believers who eagerly receive his message and test everything by Scripture. Their example show that real faith listens carefully, studies God’s Word personally, and responds in obedience. God turns division into growth and uses those who seek His truth to strengthen His church.

Day 318 | Galatians 3:24–6:18; Acts 15:1-21
In today’s episode, Michael and Noah unpack Galatians 5 and take a deep look at the Fruit of the Spirit—what it is, what it isn’t, and how it grows in the life of a believer. They contrast the works of the flesh with the fruit the Holy Spirit produces in us, reminding us that love, joy, peace, and the rest aren’t boxes to check but the natural result of walking with Jesus. Instead of striving to “be better,” we’re invited to abide in Christ, letting Him cultivate true spiritual fruit that reflects His character in our lives.

Day 317 | Acts 14:21-28, Galatians 1:1–3:23
In this episode, Ben and Tanya walk through Acts 14 and Galatians 1–3, exploring what it truly means to *continue in the faith*. From Paul’s encouragement to the early believers facing hardship to his bold correction of the Galatians, the message is clear: faith in Christ alone—not works or approval from others—is the foundation of our salvation. The conversation highlights the dangers of people-pleasing, the futility of trying to earn God’s favor, and the freedom found in living by grace. As Ben and Tanya remind us, Jesus did the work on the cross—our role is to rest in Him and let His Spirit produce fruit through our lives.

Day 316 | Acts 12:6–14:20
In today’s episode, Noah and Ben explore Acts 12–14, highlighting how persecution in the early church sparked the global spread of the gospel and how the Holy Spirit empowered believers to go boldly in faith. From Peter’s miraculous release from prison to Paul and Barnabas’ first missionary journey, we see that God’s mission always begins in the church—with worship, prayer, and a willingness to send out our best. The conversation challenges us to live as part of this same “missions era,” listening to the Spirit’s call and responding like Isaiah: “Here I am, Lord, send me.”

Day 315 | Acts 10:1–12:5
God fulfills His promise to bless all nations as the gospel reaches the Gentiles for the first time. Cornelius, a Roman centurion seeking God, meets Peter through divine direction—and the Holy Spirit falls on everyone who believes. Peter learns that God shows no favoritism, accepting all who fear Him and do what is right. The early church rejoices as Gentiles receive the gospel, and soon Barnabas is sent out to strengthen new believers in Antioch. God seeks, God saves, and God sends—His mission to the world has begun.

Day 314 | Acts 8:1b–9:43
After Stephen’s death, a great wave of persecution sweeps through Jerusalem, scattering the believers—but God turns their suffering into mission. Philip preaches in Samaria and to the Ethiopian eunuch, showing that the gospel is for every nation. Meanwhile, Saul, who leads the persecution, encounters Jesus on the road to Damascus and is forever changed. Through persecution and obedience, the gospel begins to move beyond Jerusalem, fulfilling Jesus’ promise that His witnesses would reach the ends of the earth.

Day 313 | Acts 6:1–8:1a
Stephen was an ordinary man filled with extraordinary faith. Chosen to serve, he boldly proclaimed the truth before the Sanhedrin, tracing God’s faithfulness through Israel’s history and revealing how it all pointed to Jesus. When his words enraged the religious leaders, Stephen looked to heaven and saw Jesus standing at God’s right hand. As stones fell, he prayed for his attackers, showing the power of a Spirit-filled life and the courage to stand firm to the very end.

Day 312 | Acts 3:1–5:42
The early church was marked by bold faith, miraculous power, and fearless obedience. When Peter and John healed a man who had been crippled for forty years, crowds were amazed—but not everyone rejoiced. Arrested and threatened, the apostles stood firm, declaring, “We must obey God rather than men.” Empowered by the Holy Spirit, these ordinary men changed the world through their confidence in Christ, their bold preaching, and their willingness to suffer for the gospel.

Day 311 | Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1–2:47
After Jesus’ ascension, His followers gathered in prayer, waiting for the promise of the Holy Spirit. On the day of Pentecost, God poured out His Spirit, filling believers with power and giving birth to the church. Peter boldly preached the gospel, and 3,000 people were saved. United in prayer, fellowship, and devotion to God’s Word, the early church became a living testimony of God’s power and presence. May the Spirit move among us today as He did then.

After His resurrection, Jesus gave His followers a final command—to go and make disciples of all nations. With all authority in heaven and on earth, He sends believers to share the gospel, baptize new followers, and teach them to walk in obedience to His Word. This Great Commission is not just for pastors or missionaries but for every Christian who follows Christ. And we are never sent alone—He is with us always, even to the end of the age.

On the morning that changed all of history, Jesus rose from the grave, conquering death, sin, and the power of hell. Though His followers were filled with confusion and fear, God was fulfilling His oldest promise—that one would come to crush the serpent’s head. The resurrection of Christ proves that death has no victory and the grave has no sting. Through Him, all who believe receive eternal life and the sure hope of resurrection.

On the cross, Jesus spoke seven powerful statements that reveal the depth of His love and the purpose of His mission—“Father, forgive them,” “It is finished,” “Into Your hands I commit My spirit.” As He endured the wrath of God for the sins of the world, He became the second Adam—undoing the curse brought through the first. Through Adam’s disobedience came death from a living tree, but through Christ’s obedience came life from a dead tree. The cross stands as the turning point of human history—where our debt was paid in full and life was restored to all who believe.

Before the cross came the trials—mock hearings filled with lies, fear, and corruption. The religious leaders rejected the truth, Herod wanted to be entertained, Pilate feared losing his position, and Barabbas—the guilty man—walked free while the innocent Son of God took his place. Through it all, Jesus stood silent and resolute, bearing the judgment meant for others. We see in these men the reflection of our own hearts: pride, self-interest, and compromise. Yet even for them—and for us—Jesus chose the cross. The innocent took our guilt so that we could be set free.

In one of the darkest moments of his life, Peter denied even knowing Jesus—just as the Lord had said he would. As the rooster crowed, Jesus turned and looked at him, and Peter wept bitterly. Fear had overcome faith. Yet this story is not only about failure—it’s about grace. Like Peter, we often deny Christ in subtle ways: through our silence, our choices, or our fear. But every time we turn back, Jesus stands ready to forgive, restore, and call us to follow Him again. His mercy is greater than our mistakes.

After the Last Supper, Jesus led His disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane—knowing the cross awaited Him. There, He fell to the ground and prayed in deep agony, “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” The cup He faced was the full weight of God’s wrath poured out on human sin. In this moment, Jesus willingly accepted the suffering we deserved so that we could be forgiven. The Garden became the place of surrender, where love overcame fear and obedience opened the way to salvation.

Day 304 | John 15:18–17:26
In His final moments before the cross, Jesus comforted His disciples with three eternal truths: the world would hate them for following Him, the Holy Spirit would come to guide and strengthen them, and He Himself would pray for them—and for all who would one day believe. In His high priestly prayer, Jesus asked the Father to protect, unite, and empower His followers to live as one, showing the world that He truly is the Son of God. Even today, His prayer echoes over every believer: we are loved, we are not alone, and we are one in Him.

Day 303 | John 13:31-38; Mark 14:27-31; Matthew 26:31-35; Luke 22:31-38; John 14:1–15:17
In John 15, Jesus calls Himself the True Vine and reminds us that apart from Him, we can do nothing. Like branches connected to the vine, our only source of life and fruitfulness is found in abiding in Christ. The Father lovingly prunes every believer—cutting away what hinders growth—so that we might bear more fruit. Though pruning is painful, it leads to freedom, peace, and lasting joy. When we rest in Jesus instead of striving on our own, His life flows through us and transforms everything we touch.

At the Last Supper, Jesus gave His disciples one final, unforgettable lesson—not through words, but through action. As they argued over who was greatest, the Son of God knelt before them and washed their feet, taking the position of a servant. In this powerful moment, Jesus revealed that true greatness in God’s Kingdom comes through humility, service, and self-sacrifice. His example challenges us to lay aside pride and follow His way—serving others with love, no matter their status or our own.

Day 301 | Mark 13:32-37; Matthew 24:36-51; Luke 21:34-38; Matthew 25:1-46
In this episode, Jesus teaches about the end times and reminds His followers that no one knows the day or the hour of His return. Using examples from Mark 13 and Matthew 24, the hosts explore what it means to “stay alert” and live each day as if Jesus could return at any moment. They discuss the hope of the rapture, the importance of readiness, and the call to share the gospel with urgency. Whether He comes today or years from now, the message is clear—be found faithful when the Master returns.

As Jesus’ disciples marvel at the temple’s beauty, He shocks them with a prophecy: “Not one stone will be left on another.” Decades later, His words were fulfilled exactly when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in A.D. 70. In this episode, the hosts explore how this event proves the accuracy of Jesus’ prophecies and sets the tone for His warnings about future persecution. Though believers would face suffering, Jesus promised to give them words and wisdom that no one could refute. Even through persecution, the gospel would continue to spread, reminding us that God’s Word always comes true and His presence never leaves us.
