đź“– Episode Description:

In this sobering yet powerful episode, we explore Acts 1:16–22 and uncover deep truths about betrayal, prophecy, and the calling of true ministry. Peter, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, reveals that Judas’ tragic end was not a surprise—it was foretold in Scripture, showing us that even painful chapters are under God’s sovereign plan.


We break down the significance of Judas being “numbered among us,” his participation in ministry, and his ultimate fall. His story is a warning: proximity to Jesus does not equal faithfulness to Jesus. You can be called and still fall if your heart turns away.


You’ll learn:

• Why New Testament believers interpret Old Testament prophecy through the Holy Ghost

• The spiritual consequences of betrayal

• Why sin always leads to death—and why sacred things must never be traded for silver

• How the early church chose Judas’ replacement, and what qualifications real ministry still requires today


🔊 This episode isn’t just about Judas. It’s about us—our calling, our choices, and the eternal weight of staying faithful. Don’t miss it.
