    Dear God, Amen: Acts 13: Called to Go, Courage to Stand, Joy to Continue

    Acts 13 takes us from prayer and fasting to confrontation, persecution, jealousy, surrender, and ultimately the incredible reach of the Gospel. In this episode of Dear God, Amen, Adam and Obie dig into Acts 13 and discover that this chapter is about much more than Paul's missionary journey. It's about what happens when ordinary people allow the Holy Spirit to lead them. The conversation begins with a powerful question about prayer, forgiveness, and whether we can bring our past to God. From there, Adam and Obie explore what it means to make our homes our first mission, why worship involves giving God our time, talents and treasures, and how surrender means letting go of the desire to control both Christ and the world.  They also tackle some difficult subjects in Acts 13: biblical confrontation, politics and faith, sin, pride, jealousy, and the temptation to turn ministry into something about ourselves. Obie's personal story about wrestling with jealousy in worship ministry becomes an honest look at how easily our gifts can become about us instead of God.  Then comes one of the biggest themes of the chapter: the Gospel is for everyone. Paul preaches Jesus, His resurrection, forgiveness, and freedom from sin—and when the Gentiles hear that salvation is available to them, they respond with joy.  And even when Paul and Barnabas are rejected and driven out, they don't quit. They shake the dust off their feet and continue forward filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.  This is a conversation about what it looks like to surrender, stand firm, let go of jealousy, put your home in order, and carry the light of Christ wherever you go.

    Pray, Pray, Pray: When Disappointment Reveals the Depth of God

    Disappointment is something every person encounters—including Christians. Sometimes we're disappointed in ourselves. Sometimes we're disappointed in other people or our circumstances. And sometimes, if we're honest, we're disappointed with God. We prayed. We hoped. We believed. And the answer didn't come—or the answer was simply no. But what if disappointment isn't necessarily a crisis of faith? What if it can become an invitation to a deeper faith? In this episode of Pray, Pray, Pray, Adam explores what happens when our expectations collide with God's sovereignty. Through Scripture, Adam considers the vastness, depth, beauty, goodness, faithfulness, mercy, holiness, and wisdom of God—and asks us to move beyond simply asking, “Why didn't God give me what I wanted?” toward the deeper question: “Who is God when I don't get what I want?” From Habakkuk's worship in the middle of loss to Jesus praying in Gethsemane, we see that biblical faith doesn't require us to pretend we're not hurting. We can bring our disappointment honestly before God while still learning to trust His heart. Ultimately, the character of God is revealed to us through Jesus. And the goal isn't simply for God to change our circumstances—it is for us to become more like Christ. Maybe the question isn't simply, “How do I get past this disappointment?” Maybe the deeper question is: “Who am I becoming through it?” Because when we don't understand God's hand, we can still look at Jesus and remember God's heart.

    Dear God, Amen: Acts 12: When God Breaks the Chains

    What happens when the situation looks impossible—but the church keeps praying? In Acts 12, James has been killed, Peter is locked in prison, sixteen soldiers are assigned to guard him, and Herod appears to hold all the power. Then God intervenes. An angel enters Peter's prison, his chains fall away, the gates open, and Peter simply walks out. In this episode of Dear God, Amen, Adam is joined by lifelong friend Eric for a conversation about one of the most cinematic chapters in Acts. Together they explore the miraculous escape of Peter, the power of a praying church, the danger of placing our faith in human power, and the judgment of Herod. But Acts 12 also becomes personal. Eric shares part of his own journey back to Jesus and describes realizing that he had built his own prison. That opens a deeper conversation: What are the guards keeping us in chains today? Pride? Addiction? Lust? Anger? Fear? Unforgiveness? And what happens when we finally surrender? The conversation moves from Peter's physical chains to our spiritual ones, from Herod's pursuit of glory to the danger of modern-day idols, and ultimately to forgiveness, spiritual warfare, the Armor of God, and the freedom found only in Jesus Christ. Sometimes God breaks the chains. Sometimes He calls us to be an ambassador while we're still in them. Either way, we're called to declare the Gospel fearlessly. Join us as two lifelong friends open Acts 12 and rediscover the wonder, power, and reality of the God who still sets captives free. Send us Fan Mail
