Day 37 — Saul Ravages the Church (Acts 8:1-3) | June 1

Day 49 — Cornelius' Vision (Acts 10:1-8) | June 13

Thirty miles up the coast from Joppa, a Roman centurion named Cornelius was praying when an angel appeared with specific instructions: send for a man named Peter. Cornelius was devout, generous, and God-fearing, but he wasn't yet a follower of Jesus. His conversion would open the floodgates of the gospel to the entire Gentile world. In this episode, we see God orchestrating events in two cities simultaneously, preparing both the messenger and the audience for a collision that will reshape the church forever. God is always ahead of his people. Our job isn't to make things happen. It's to show up where God is already moving.

Day 48 — Peter Raises Dorcas (Acts 9:36-43) | June 12

Dorcas never preached a sermon, but her funeral became one. She was known for one thing: making clothes for widows. When she died, a room full of grieving women held up the robes she had stitched for them, displaying evidence of love. Peter knelt, prayed, and spoke two words: "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes. In this episode, we encounter a woman whose quiet faithfulness shook a city and a miracle that echoes Jesus' own ministry. And tucked into the final verse is a detail that seems insignificant but changes everything: Peter stayed with Simon, a leather tanner. God was already stretching Peter's categories for what comes next.

Day 47 — Peter Heals Aeneas (Acts 9:32-35) | June 11

A man named Aeneas had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. 2,920 days of waking up unable to move. Then Peter walked in and said six words: "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you." Not "I heal you." Jesus Christ. The source of the power was never in question. In this episode, we watch one healing turn into a regional awakening as the entire Sharon plain turned to the Lord. God often works through small beginnings to achieve large outcomes. One divine appointment became a tipping point. The person you pray for, the neighbor you serve, you have no idea what God might do through that single encounter.

Day 46 — Escape and Acceptance (Acts 9:23-31) | June 10

The hunter became the hunted. Saul's powerful preaching made him a marked man, and he escaped Damascus in the middle of the night, lowered through a wall in a basket like a smuggled fugitive. When he reached Jerusalem, the believers wouldn't accept him. The wounds were too fresh. Enter Barnabas, the Son of Encouragement, who risked his own credibility to vouch for a man nobody else would trust. In this episode, we see that conversion doesn't automatically erase memory, that trust takes time to rebuild, and that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is loan someone your trust when theirs has run out.

Day 45 — Saul Is Baptized and Preaches (Acts 9:17-22) | June 9

Ananias walked through the door and spoke the most unexpected word Saul had ever heard: "Brother." Three days earlier, Saul was hunting Christians. Now a Christian was calling him family. Scales fell from his eyes, and almost immediately the former persecutor began proving in the synagogues that Jesus is the Messiah. The same intellectual firepower that had driven his persecution was now deployed for the gospel. In this episode, we see the most dramatic transformation in the New Testament unfold in real time. A changed life is one of the most powerful evidences for the gospel. How do you argue with a terrorist who became a preacher?
