In today's episode of Tough Texts, Daniel Emery Price and Scott Keith dive into Acts 1:15-26. In this passage, we witness a pivotal moment in the early Christian community as they grapple with the vacancy left by Judas Iscariot's betrayal. What does Jesus say prior to this passage and what context does it provide? As the disciples gather to select a replacement, we explore the significance of leadership and the discernment process within the early Church. How does Peter navigate the tension between human agency and divine guidance in selecting Matthias? Join us as we explore these questions and more.
