Herod's "Power" | Disruptive Presence 57

Drop us a text message to say hi and let us know what you think of the show. (Include your email if you’d like us to reply)In which John and David consider how easily we are deluded by power. Herod thinks he has power, the people think he has power, but the Holy Spirit knows differently. Continuing a theme in Acts, we see that there are still lessons for us to learn today about what power really is, and isn't.Episode 114 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 57 If you want to get in touch about something in the podcast you can reach out on podcast@twotexts.com or by liking and following the Two Texts podcast on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Unexpected Answered Prayers | Disruptive Presence 56

Drop us a text message to say hi and let us know what you think of the show. (Include your email if you’d like us to reply)In which John and David wonder if we would respond any differently than the Acts Church.

This is one of those stories in Acts that you've likely heard of. If you haven't then expect mystery, humour, and God working in surprising ways. Peter's escape story should probably be one of your favourite Acts moments - especially if you wonder about whether prayer works!Episode 112 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 55 If you want to get in touch about something in the podcast you can reach out on podcast@twotexts.com or by liking and following the Two Texts podcast on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

There's a reason that you don't think favourably of the name "Herod". So many kings called Herod caused problems in the New Testament period. The Acts text from this episode is no different. Episode 111 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 54 If you want to get in touch about something in the podcast you can reach out on podcast@twotexts.com or by liking and following the Two Texts podcast on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Is Peter Right? | Disruptive Presence 48
