About this episode

Pastor Léonce discusses the unexpected actions of Paul and Silas in prison and the deeper message of living free in truth amidst struggles.

What do you do when doing the right thing leads to the worst outcome? Paul and Silas freed a girl from spiritual bondage and it landed them stripped, beaten, and thrown into the deepest cell of a Roman prison. But at midnight, bleeding and chained, they did something unexpected: they started singing. In this message, Pastor Léonce unpacks Acts 16 and exposes a quiet exhaustion many Christians carry: performing truth instead of living free in it. This is a message about what sustains you when no one's watching—and who might be watching anyway. ___________________________ Thank you for listening to United Church's podcast!
