In this episode, Pastor Bret Avlakeotes walks us through Acts 16, where the gospel first crosses into Europe—and nothing goes according to plan. From a detour directed by the Holy Spirit to a divine encounter by the riverbank, we witness how God uses unexpected people and painful trials to build His church in Philippi. Whether it’s Lydia, a successful businesswoman, a demon-possessed slave girl, or a Roman jailer, we see how the gospel changes lives in every class and circumstance.
Even when Paul and Silas end up beaten and in prison, their worship echoes through the jail—and it’s in that moment of darkness that God moves powerfully.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why God sometimes redirects our plans, and how His "no" can lead to a greater "yes."
How divine appointments—like meeting Lydia and the jailer—can change everything when we're ready to share.
What it looks like to rejoice and trust God, even in suffering, knowing He’s working through every trial.
