Episode Notes: The Problem of Spiritual Procrastination
Scripture Reference: Acts 24:22-25
Summary:
In this episode, we dive into the dangers of spiritual procrastination through the story of Paul’s interaction with Governor Felix. Despite hearing the gospel and feeling convicted, Felix delays making a decision, waiting for a more "convenient" time—a time that never comes. His story serves as a warning about the eternal consequences of delaying obedience to God.

Reflection Questions:
