    What Keeps You Going When Sharing Your Faith Gets Hard | Acts 17

    Paul and Silas preach in Thessalonica, get run out of town, land in Berea, and Paul ends up alone in Athens, face to face with a city full of idols. The question tying it all together: how do you keep sharing your faith when it keeps costing you something? In this episode, we walk through Acts 17 with Carlos Renfroe — covering the Bereans, Paul's Mars Hill moment, and why your identity in Christ is what keeps you standing when the outcome isn't guaranteed.

    Acts 16: Sacrifice, Lydia & Singing at Midnight

    Why did Paul fight to free Timothy from the law — and then turn around and circumcise him? The answer reveals one of the most practical ministry principles in all of Acts. In this episode, Dallas and Carlos walk through Acts 16 and unpack three movements that still speak directly to how we live today: Timothy's willingness to sacrifice for the sake of the gospel, Lydia's conversion and what it means to run your home and business as an act of worship, and Paul and Silas singing hymns at midnight in a prison cell — right before God shook the walls down. Whether you're navigating tension between your faith and your culture, trying to figure out what it looks like to be a Christian in the workplace, or just need a reminder that God moves in the hard moments — this one is for you. --- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Intro & The Question: Why Did Paul Circumcise Timothy? 1:20 — Welcome & Recap of Acts 15 2:00 — Acts 16:1–5 | Meet Timothy: Dual Citizen, New Disciple 3:45 — Jewish Law 101: Why This Moment Is Complicated 5:00 — Paul's Strategy: Remove the Roadblocks, Not the Gospel 7:00 — Dallas's Story: The Ponytail, the Calling & What God Asked 10:15 — What Are You Willing to Give Up So the Gospel Has Room to Breathe? 12:00 — Corey's Story: Gauged Ears and a Mission Trip to Cambodia 13:00 — Acts 16:11–15 | Lydia: Seller of Purple 15:00 — How God Opens Hearts — and What Lydia Did With Hers 16:30 — Your Business, Your Home & Your Whole Life as an Act of Worship 18:20 — More Than a Jesus Fish: What Living It Out Actually Looks Like 19:00 — Acts 16:16–40 | The Slave Girl, the Demon & the Arrest 20:30 — A Real Warning About Divination (and Miss Cleo) 21:30 — Paul and Silas: Beaten, Chained & Still Singing 22:00 — The Earthquake, the Jailer & a Sword He Almost Used 23:45 — "What Must I Do to Be Saved?" — The Simplest Answer in Scripture 25:00 — What the Prisoners Heard Before the Miracle Happened 26:30 — A Whole Family Gets Saved: What God Does Through Obedience 27:30 — Final Thoughts: Don't Be Afraid of Sacrifice If It Points to Christ 28:10 — Closing & How to Connect with The Healing Place --- CONNECT WITH US Website: thpshreveport.com Email: mediahub@thpshreveport..com JOIN US IN PERSON Sundays at 10:00 AM | Wednesdays at 6:30 PM 638 Kingston Road, Shreveport, LA --- The Midweek Move is a weekly Bible study podcast from The Healing Place in Shreveport, Louisiana — examining scripture in context and asking: what is actually happening here?

    Salvation, Conflict & Grace — Acts 15

    Can church conflict actually be a good thing? In this week's Midweek Move, we dig into Acts 15 — one of the most defining moments in the early church — where a fight over salvation itself forced the apostles to clarify what the Gospel really is. Carlos Renfroe and Dallas Mora sit down to unpack the Jerusalem Council, explain why Jewish believers were adding circumcision to the requirements for salvation, and explore why cultural identity and spiritual identity are not the same thing. Plus — the moment Paul and Barnabas went separate ways over John Mark, and why that "split" may have been exactly what God intended to double the mission.

    Acts 13: When Prophets and Teachers Work Together (And Why the Church Forgot About It)

    Most people pair apostles with prophets, pastors with teachers. Acts 13 verse 1 puts prophets and teachers in the same room — and uses them together to change the history of the church. Pastor Scott Ethridge and Carlos Renfroe dig into why that combination matters more than we've been taught. --- Connect With The Healing Place Website: www.thpshreveport.com  Questions or prayer requests: mediahub@thpshreveport.com Midweek Move is the podcast extension of The Healing Place, Shreveport, LA — where we examine the scriptures in context and ask: "What is happening here?" ___ 0:00 — Cold open: "Prophets and teachers together.

    Your Comfort Zone Is Blocking God's Plan | Acts 11

    What happens when God opens a door you didn't want — and your community pushes back? In Acts 11, Peter returns to Jerusalem and immediately faces criticism — not for what God did, but for where Peter was when He did it. The tension between religious tradition and a fresh move of God is as real today as it was then. This week on Midweek Move, we dig into what it actually looks like to recognize God's hand in something unexpected — and what it costs to say yes. Ask yourself this week: Is there a door God has opened that you've been hesitant to walk through? How do you know when something is truly from God — and not just your own desire? 📖 Acts Line-by-Line Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRTXTb-ULMZrO-r2psoaDN7Zx7FQkZ_98  🌐 www.thpshreveport.com Questions or prayer requests? mediahub@thpshreveport.com Sundays 10:00 AM | Wednesdays 6:30 PM 📍 8957 Kingston Road, Shreveport, LA Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 0:22 Why Following God Gets Uncomfortable 3:43 Acts 11 — When the Church Pushed Back on Peter 7:33 What Do You Do When You Hit a Threshold? 10:02 How Peter Defended What God Did 12:08 If God Is In It, Don't Fight It 14:11 The Humble Response That Changes Everything 16:35 When the Prophetic Becomes Practical 17:31 Closing — Natural Meets Supernatural
