David and John spend a second bonus episode discussing John's new book, 'Emmaus, The Walk That Changed Everything,' which is about the Emmaus Road story in the Gospel of Luke. We're excited that John's new book is out, so as we head into summer we decided to have a little chat about it for a couple of episodes.

We're taking a break for August and will be back in September 2024 with new episodes on Acts from our Disruptive Presence series.

In which John and David discuss the encounter between the demonized man and the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19. They explore the significance of knowing Jesus and the dangers of engaging with the supernatural world based on ego and human effort. They also highlight the contrast between the prevailing Word of God and the powerlessness of demonic forces. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the importance of magnifying Jesus and the impact of the gospel in the region.

In which David and John discuss the importance of the supernatural and the power of the Holy Spirit in the early church. They reflect on the extraordinary miracles performed by Paul and the significance of the embodied nature of early Christianity. They also explore the dangers of separating knowledge and power, emphasizing the need for a holistic understanding of word and spirit. The story of the Seven Sons of Sceva serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the importance of a genuine relationship with Jesus and the surrender to the power of the Spirit.

In which John and David discuss the unexpected disciples Paul encounters in Ephesus, highlighting the centrality of the Holy Spirit in the early church. In Ephesus we see how Spiritual Formation was handled immediately with a sense of urgency, keeping the Holy Spirit primary and asking good questions to guide the journey. Again, we note that the Spirit stretched across diversity, underscoring the welcoming nature of the early church.

As we reach 100 episodes of our Acts series (which we planned as a short series for the summer of 2022!) our latest show delves into the intricate details of Paul’s missionary journey and the role of Apollos in Acts 18:18-28. We explore the themes of how the early church took the Spirit and theological accuracy seriously. It is worth paying attention to how the Acts church didn't see the tension often felt today between fervour and knowledge in spreading the Gospel.

In which John and David discuss Paul's trust in divine guidance throughout his ministry and travel. Even during a brief stay in Ephesus we see that Paul prefers a missionary "strategy" that combines relational integrity with a commitment to the work of the Holy Spirit rather than a strong "authority and accountability" model. In Paul we see a model of how to trust others and leave space for the leading of the Holy Spirit, even if it means stepping back from authority ourselves?

In which John and David delve into the significance of Priscilla and Aquila as a ministry couple, their role as fellow workers with Paul, and the broader theme of gender equality and partnership in ministry. They also explore the idea of discipleship and ministry, the role of Phoebe, and the concept of ruling the earth as male and female made in the image of God. The conversation draws connections between Acts 18 and Romans 16, highlighting the unfolding vision of humanity in the church.
