In this episode of Walking Close, Living Changed, Brian explores the story of Peter's vision in Acts 10 and how God used it to completely reshape Peter's understanding of salvation. Peter initially believed God's message was about food and religious law, but eventually realized God was revealing that the Gospel was meant for all people, not just the Jews.

Brian uses this story to teach listeners that God may say unexpected things, challenge long-held beliefs, interrupt traditions, and speak in ways we do not immediately understand.

The episode encourages believers to stay spiritually hungry, quiet, open, and willing to listen when God speaks.
