    This Is The Key to Deepening Your Faith - Bruce Davis

    What if the one thing missing from your faith is not more knowledge, more effort, or more discipline, but simply awe? Bruce Davis woke up at 4 in the morning with a word from God that launched an entire ministry built around one powerful conviction. The awe of God is the very center of our worship, and when we lose it, we start reaching for things that never truly satisfy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🙏 ACTSSOCIAL 📲 https://getactssocial.app 📸 https://instagram.com/actssocial 📘 https://facebook.com/actssocialofficial 🎵 https://tiktok.com/@actssocialofficial ▶️ https://youtube.com/@actssocialofficial ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 CONNECT WITH BRUCE DAVIS ✝️ ActsSocial: @brucetdavisinawe 🌐 https://www.inawebybruce.com 🎙 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-awe-by-bruce/id1456790018 🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7cOoh6pXO7LNym6YgHjdU6 📧 inawebybruce@gmail.com ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 RECOMMENDED ORGANIZATION American Bible Society — making the Bible available to every person in a language they can understand and afford since 1816. 🌐 https://www.americanbible.org ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Introduction 0:39 - Who is Bruce Davis? 3:13 - The 4AM moment that started everything 5:15 - Prostate cancer and God's timing 7:31 - 45 years of Bible teaching 9:37 - When God became real to Bruce 11:00 - Getting into the occult after accepting Christ 13:23 - How God pulled him out and into a church 15:18 - What small group ministry taught him 19:21 - Why he plants home churches 23:00 - The fear of sharing your faith 26:17 - Define awe in your own words 28:48 - The signs someone has lost their awe 30:12 - Finding awe in nature and Scripture 35:45 - [AD] American Bible Society 36:12 - UC Berkeley research confirms Scripture 38:48 - Acts 2:42-47 and awe in community 44:38 - Can you sustain awe in a digital world? 47:18 - The devil as the king of cosmetics 53:48 - The three things that replace awe 56:45 - How to recover awe you have lost 59:37 - The Ephesian church and your first love 1:02:41 - The most powerful God story he has heard 1:11:52 - For someone who has never experienced awe 1:14:22 - The connection between awe and worship 1:16:12 - What God is doing in Bruce's life now 1:19:48 - One truth that will change your day 1:21:43 - Where to find Bruce and In Awe by Bruce

    Abandoned By His Parents and Imprisoned In New Zealand - Enoch Tupuono

    Enoch Tupuono grew up in Otara, New Zealand — one of the toughest, most impoverished communities in the country. Abandoned by his father, raised in violence, and consumed by anger, Enoch had every reason to believe nobody cared whether he lived or died. But at 15 years old, he walked into a church with the wrong intentions — and walked out completely transformed by four words he had never truly heard before. "Jesus loves you." What followed was one of the most remarkable journeys of faith, hardship, and redemption you will ever hear. From the streets of Otara to a prison cell — and ultimately into the arms of a God who never once let him go. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Introduction 1:46 - Growing up in Otara, New Zealand 5:13 - Given away by his own father 8:32 - The deep longing to be loved and belong 10:22 - Meeting his biological mother and why it brought rage not healing 13:40 - His cousin took him to church at 15 15:43 - "Jesus loves you" — the words that changed everything 21:11 - Sharing Jesus at school and going to his father 25:21 - His father permanently disowned him after salvation 28:29 - Contemplating taking his own life 28:45 - [SPONSOR] Convoy of Hope — ConvoyOfHope.org 30:00 - Did the enemy target him in that season? 32:30 - Walking into prison having already tasted Jesus 33:19 - Faith becoming real in a prison cell 34:53 - A torn Bible with missing pages that did wonders 36:38 - Pursuing God day to day behind bars 39:22 - Discovering the resurrection for the first time 40:29 - What Enoch discovered about who Jesus truly is 43:45 - Miracles in a maximum security prison 54:07 - How God rewired what it means to be a man 1:01:38 - Acts 2:42-47 and the community he always longed for 1:03:27 - Faith and the digital world today 1:08:35 - Knowing you are a child of God — truly wanted 1:11:11 - What would you say to someone who feels unwanted right now? 1:13:13 - What people get wrong about prisoners 1:17:07 - Who is Enoch Tupuono today? 1:18:12 - If your 15-year-old self could see you now 1:19:03 - Where to find Enoch ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 CONNECT WITH ENOCH TUPUONO 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@enochthepreacher ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🙏 ABOUT ACTSSOCIAL ActsSocial is a faith-first, interest-based, ad-free Christian social media platform built on Acts 2:42-47.

    Smuggling Faith Behind the Iron Curtain - Hadassah Treu

    Hadassah Treu grew up behind the Iron Curtain in communist Bulgaria, where faith was forbidden and fear ruled her home. Everything began to change because of a secret New Testament her grandmother kept hidden by her bed. In this moving conversation, she shares how a hidden Bible, a desperate ultimatum to God, and a lifetime of loss and surrender became the birthplace of an unshakable faith. We talk depression and suicidal thoughts, encountering the love of Jesus, the sudden loss of her husband, and how our deepest pain can become the very place we draw near to God.
