Behind The Micah Podcast

Today we look at Acts 19. We see Paul explain what Christian baptism is. Is there more than one baptism? As Paul is in Ephesus, he does many miraculous things in order to share the gospel. It even leads to some burning their own things that hinder them from the truth. And, of course, we see opposition amongst the people in Ephesus. How should we respond to those in opposition? Thanks for listening!

On this week's episode, Jason and Micah make their way through Acts 18. How do you deal with those who don't want to hear what you have to say? We are introduced to a power couple in Aquila and Priscilla. They are fellow believers who really enhance Paul's ministry. They deal specifically with a godly man by the name of Apollos. While Apollos is an "eloquent" man, he was confused on what Christian baptism was. Aquila and Priscilla correct him in a way that helps him to understand. Should we stand up for what we believe in? Is there a right or wrong way to do that? And best of all, we see people giving their lives to Jesus in this chapter. We also discuss pools and hot tubs. Which team are you? Pool or Hot tub? Thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast, Covey Wise, joins us from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to discuss Acts 17. We find Paul dealing with more persecution, yet he continues to press on. We see that Paul looked around and was "greatly distressed" with what he saw. In 2023, we can do the same thing. However, he didn't run away. He didn't push others farther away. Paul knew that from a distance, you will never help people who are far from God get closer to God. So the question is, are you spending time up close with people who are far from God? Hope you'll check it out!

Today, Jason and Micah discuss Acts 16. In this chapter, we are introduced to the first European convert, Paul and Silas thrown in jail, and a jailer give his life to the Lord. We also see obedience, urgency, and evangelism at its finest. Are we looking for every opportunity to share the gospel? The good news is, we aren't alone. We also discuss Mother's Day, bath bombs, and feet. Thanks for checking it out!

Today, Micah discusses Acts 15. Have you ever made it difficult for people who are outside of Christ to begin a relationship with Him? We see in this chapter that the Jews were making it difficult for the Gentiles to come to a relationship with Jesus. Mainly through circumcision. We found in this chapter, that God is more concerned about pursuing outsiders than comforting insiders. Not because outsiders are more important, but rather because they're just more urgent. We also discuss good dog names and Blackstone grills. Thanks for listening!

On today's episode, Jason and Micah dig into Acts 14, where we see people causing problems and stirring up division. Paul and Barnabas receive praise and persecution throughout this chapter. But throughout all of this, Paul's perseverance is commendable. While sometimes it might be easy for us to throw in the towel, Paul pushes forward, and encourages the others to do the same. We discuss examples of a leader, Jason and Micah's revival recaps, and Pittsburgh cheesesteaks. Check it out!

In Acts 13, we are introduced to a couple of false teachers. How should we deal with false teaching in our churches? And how should we respond to those who are unteachable? This chapter is jam-packed with stuff to apply to our lives. We also discuss camping and filleting fish. Thanks for listening!

Today, we take a short intermission from the book of Acts, and discuss visions and goals. How do we reach them? Maybe the more important question is the "why". Senior staff accountant from Ramsey Solutions, Brytton Rogers, hops on today to talk about how a vision, without a mission behind it, is really just an idea. No matter what age you are, we all have a purpose and goal in life. Thanks for listening!

In Acts 11-12, we see persecution still going strong. Through arrests and even murder, the church lived in scary times. Yet, while those events were taking place, God showed that He was still in control. What area of your life do you need to be reminded that God is in control? In this episode, we discuss all of this, plus we talk about Easter eggs, toys or candy, and coffee makers. Check it out!

Is Jesus for everyone? In Acts 10, we are introduced to a man by the name of Cornelius. Cornelius loved God, but was not Jewish. If you will look closely, you will see who the message of the Gospel is for. We also briefly discuss the shooting in Nashville, and Jason gets a new dog! As always, thanks for listening!
