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 God's response to Peter's interpretation of his vision.

As you'll see, God responds to affirm how Peter sees things.Episode 105 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 48If 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.

God Moves First | Disruptive Presence 44

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 explore how God finds and knows Cornelius. There's so much to mine in chapter 10, but to begin with it fascinates us that God continues throughout this book called Acts to always move first. Everything we do is a response to God. Cornelius' vision is premised on the realization that God knows Cornelius and what he needs.Episode 101 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 44If 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.

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 explore two healing moments in Acts 9.
