This is a raw and vulnerable conversation about repentance, obedience, and learning to love the Giver more than the gifts. If you’ve ever struggled with putting your identity in what you do instead of who God is, this episode is for you. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2522679/fan_mail/new]

Dear God, Amen: Revival, Reverence, and the Fear of the Lord

In this powerful episode of Dear God, Amen, the guys dive into one of the most sobering and challenging chapters in the Book of Acts — Acts 5. Through the story of Ananias and Sapphira, they wrestle with hidden sin, honesty before God, obedience, money, pride, and what it truly means to fear the Lord. The conversation moves beyond theology into real-life struggles: success, work, retirement, church culture, performative faith, parenting, revival, and the longing to see the Holy Spirit move today like He did in the early church.

This is a raw and honest conversation about repentance, revival, surrender, and the reality that we are still living in the “church age” — the same Spirit from Acts is still at work today.
