A man asks for spare change at the temple gate and walks away leaping. We dive into Acts 3 to unpack why that moment matters—not just as a headline miracle but as a hinge that swings open a message of repentance, forgiveness, and real refreshment. As Peter redirects the crowd’s awe from human hands to the risen Jesus, we trace how signs validate the gospel and how the gospel reframes our expectations for healing, hope, and everyday courage.

We talk through the two movements of the chapter: the healing at the Beautiful Gate and Peter’s temple sermon that follows. Along the way, we discuss apostolic authority, the purpose of signs and wonders, and how to read descriptive narratives without turning them into formula. Can miracles still happen? Yes. Do we command them at will? No. The difference is more than nuance; it protects humble faith while keeping our hearts open to God’s power. We also sit with the beggar’s story—forty years of being overlooked—and consider what it means for us when Jesus says, in effect, “Look at me,” then lifts us to our feet.

You’ll hear practical ways to respond: repent where you’re stuck, receive forgiveness, and step into the “times of refreshing” Peter promises. We offer a simple pattern for ministry that works in any neighborhood: see the person, give what you have, help them rise, and point to Jesus. Whether you’re wrestling with skepticism, longing for healing, or just trying to love people beyond spare change, this conversation gives language, Scripture, and hope for the week ahead.

If this resonated with you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations. What’s one area where you’re asking God for refreshing today?
