Teens, Faith, and the Book of Acts: What’s REALLY Going On in the Early Church - The Truth Response 232


Listen Later

If you’ve ever opened the Book of Acts and thought, “What is even happening right now?” — you’re not alone. In this episode, we break down the most confusing parts of Acts with honesty, humor, and real-life stories. From chaotic missionary journeys to Paul’s dramatic conversion to the wild moments of Pentecost, we dig into why this book feels overwhelming—and why it’s also one of the most important books in the Bible.

We also talk discipleship, mentorship, and how the early church navigated culture, conflict, and calling—issues we still deal with today. Dalton joins us to share what it’s like living out his faith in school, how people respond, and why young believers play a bigger role in the church than they realize.

Since it’s Thanksgiving week, we wrap up with what we’re grateful for, how God shapes us through everyday moments (including puppies), and why gratitude is a spiritual practice we desperately need.

If you want a down-to-earth conversation about Acts, faith, and real Christian life—this one’s for you.
