🎙️A Deeper Dive – Acts 15: Leadership, Yokes & the Way of Jesus

In today’s episode, we finish our walk through Acts 15 and step into a powerful look at godly leadership. Pastor Barry takes us through the Jerusalem Council, Jesus’ teaching on heavy and light yokes, and the real-life tension between Paul and Barnabas.

This chapter isn’t just church history—it’s a mirror for our own lives.

Who are we following?

What kind of leader are we becoming?

And are we carrying the yoke of Jesus—or the heavy burdens others try to lay on us?

We explore:

Why Peter pushed back against religious burdens

Jesus’ two teachings on yokes—one heavy, one light

King leaders vs. servant leaders

What it means to be Spirit-led and accountable

Why even great leaders sometimes clash

How God still works through imperfect people

Why leadership in your home, work, and church truly matters

You’ll walk away encouraged, challenged, and reminded that God is still shaping leaders—right here, right now.

💬 Key Thought:

We all influence someone. Let’s be the kind of leaders who lift burdens, not add them.

🙏 Today’s Prayer:

“Lord, help me lead like You—humbly, faithfully, and filled with Your Spirit. Make me a light to those who follow behind me.”
