Unpacking Sunday: Saul, Philip and the Sorcerer.

This week, Luke and Mike catch up over one of life’s important topics—ice cream—before diving into Acts 8. Following the stoning of Stephen, Saul begins ravaging the early church, forcing believers to scatter. But instead of stopping the gospel, persecution spreads it. The story then shifts to Philip preaching in Samaria, where he encounters a sorcerer amazed by the power of God at work through his ministry. Mike and Luke unpack the tension in this passage and explore the sobering reality that people can sincerely believe they’re serving God’s purposes while actually causing harm. They discuss why these stories are placed back-to-back in Scripture and how important it is for believers to pay attention to the warnings woven throughout the text. This episode is an honest conversation about discernment, influence, spiritual deception, and staying rooted in the truth of God’s Word.

Unpacking Sunday: Stephen , Saul and Radical Grace

After a couple of weeks off, Luke and Mike are back catching up and unpacking this week’s sermon as they dive into the dramatic ending of Acts chapter 7. After delivering an epic sermon, Stephen boldly confronts the teachers of the law, challenging them on how they had completely missed the point of the law—and ultimately rejected and killed its fulfillment in Jesus. The guys unpack the moment everything reaches a breaking point: the religious leaders lose their minds, drag Stephen out, and stone him to death. But what stands out most in Stephen’s final moments? Grace. An incredible, radical display of grace in the face of hatred and violence. The conversation also turns to a young man standing nearby named Saul—the same Saul who would one day become the Apostle Paul. How does Stephen’s death connect to Saul’s story? Could this moment have planted seeds for what was to come? There’s a lot to unpack in this powerful chapter of Acts, and you won’t want to miss the conversation.
