The apostles are arrested, beaten, and threatened for preaching Jesus. And yet, they rejoice.

In this episode, Zach Bennett and Sawyer Smith finish Acts Chapter 5 and walk through one of the boldest moments in the early church. The apostles are thrown into prison, freed by an angel, and sent straight back to the temple to keep teaching. When ordered to stop, their response is clear: we must obey God rather than men.

This conversation covers jealousy, pride, persecution, and why movements built on man fall apart while what is built on God cannot be stopped. From being beaten to celebrating their suffering, the apostles show what real faith and obedience look like.

If the resurrection were not true, why would anyone endure this?

Come on. Let’s get into the truth in the trenches.
