    Acts 19: The Sons of Sceva, Knowing When to Walk Away, and Preaching Truth When It Costs Someone

    What happens when you use the name of Jesus without actually knowing Him? In this episode, one of our students, Brayson, flips the format and asks the questions, walking Pastor Dallas through Paul's ministry in Ephesus, the strange story of the sons of Sceva, and the riot that broke out when the gospel started costing people money. We talk about whether there's a time to stop pouring into someone who won't receive it, why imitating faith isn't the same as having it, and how to preach truth even when it disrupts people's lives.

    What Real Discipleship Actually Costs — Acts 18 Bible Study

    Acts 18 takes Paul to Corinth — where he meets Aquila and Priscilla, preaches to Jews and Gentiles, and stays a year and a half longer than he wanted to. But the real story is what that investment quietly produced: the discipleship of Apollos, one of the most gifted men in the early church. Carlos shares what that looks like today — including a trip to Dubai that changed how he understands what it costs to actually walk with someone.

    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.
