In today's episode, we see Peter pulling another miracle escape. But it's not because he is an early Harry Houdini. No. It is because Peter serves a miracle-producing God. We hear the story of his escape, but then we also hear of the tragic death of Herod Agrippa the First. Who instead of giving glory to God, decided to take it all for himself and paid the ultimate price. Listen to this weeks episode to hear of the last great adventure of Peter recorded in the Book of Acts, and the reintroduciton of Saul of Tarsus after disappearing from the story for over 12 years. But now, the story will center on him and his missionary work. Turn to Acts 11 and 12 to follow along.

We now come to the first recorded resurrection in the Book of Acts. And it happens to one of the worst-named women in the Bible. Yes, you guessed it: Dorcas. But before Dorcas is raised, we meet another poorly named disciple named Aeneas. Listen to this week's story to hear more about these two and hopefully come away with a greater appreciation for the power of the gospel. Turn to Acts Chapter Nine to follow along.

This week, we tell the story of Paul's conversion. He went from persecuting those who followed Jesus to becoming a disciple of Jesus himself. Turn to Acts chapter nine to follow along.

In today's story, we meet a man named Phillip. We also hear of believers being severely persecuted for their faith led by a man named Saul. But they stand firm and continue proclaiming Christ no matter the cost. Phillip is one of them who, because of the persecution, has to leave Jerusalem, and he eventually arrives in an area called Samaria. There, he encounters a dark spiritual force led by Simon the sorcerer. What will happen? Who will win this spiritual battle, the forces of darkness or the forces of Jesus? Turn to Acts chapter 8 to follow along.

We took a break for over a month and couldn't post any content because we went on a vacation to Rome, Italy, and then on a ten-day cruise. It was pretty hectic before we left, and I barely had any time to post content for our podcast. But now we're back, and we're hoping to start posting content weekly. This week, we're continuing our series in the Book of Acts. We're picking up the story right after the events surrounding the deaths of Ananias and Sapphira. When news of their deaths and the reasons behind them spread, a great sense of fear fell upon many people. At the same time, great signs and wonders were happening among the people, and many in Jerusalem were turning to follow "The Name." This made some people very jealous, which led to the arrest of all 12 disciples. Turn to Acts 5 as we continue the story.

Jesus. Some people use it as a swear word, others use it only at Christmas or Easter, while others use it when talking about the man they worship and serve. In today's story, we will look at the power of the name of Jesus. In today's story, we meet a man who was healed simply because of the name of Jesus. And we will also learn the importance of talking and sharing His name. There is immense power for a Christian to simply talk about Jesus and to boldly proclaim Him as Lord. So, who was the man who was healed, how did it happen, and what kind of power can be found in Jesus' name? Listen to find out, and turn to Acts chapters 3 and 4 to follow along.
