When Obedience Feels Like Failure: Paul’s Courage in Acts 23
This week, Tyler digs into the Sanhedrin after Paul’s ministry in Jerusalem appears to have gone terribly wrong. Paul cleverly exposes the theological divide between the Pharisees and Sadducees over the resurrection, turning what looked like a unified opposition into an argument among themselves
Why Revival Isn’t Happening—and What the Church Must Do First
Steve and Joe discuss what happens when Christians begin allowing culture and personal ideology to reshape Scripture rather than allowing Scripture to shape their lives. Joe traces the problem back to the Garden of Eden—the temptation to question God’s Word and put our own desires ahead of what God has said.
