Summary
In this episode, we explore how God confronts our assumptions, orchestrates divine appointments, and pours out His Spirit in places we never expected. This episode dives deep into spiritual blind spots, the movement of the Holy Spirit, and the breathtaking truth that Jesus is Lord of all.
Chad walks through Acts 10 and unpacks one of the most explosive turning points in the story of the early church. What begins with a Roman soldier praying in Caesarea becomes the moment God dismantles the walls in Peter's heart and reveals the unstoppable reach of the gospel.
