Gamaliel | Disruptive Presence 24

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 discuss how a Pharisee saves the apostles and makes some good points for all our lives. As the Apostles encounter some objections to the work they are part of, not everyone knows what to do with them. The Pharisee Gamaliel, however, offers a way forward that might help us think about things today too.Episode 77 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 24If 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 discuss how the Apostles respond to tensions around their activities in Jerusalem.

Who is the Protagonist? | Disruptive Presence 22

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 talk about Peter's shadow. In Acts you could be forgiven for thinking that the Apostles are making some impressive things happen. But in chapter 5 we see that something else is driving this story. Or rather, someone else.Episode 75 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 22If 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.

At the Apostles' Feet | Disruptive Presence 21

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 discuss the slightly disturbing story of Ananias and Sapphira. The early church has begun in charity and commonality, how would it respond when that was challenged. And how would the Holy Spirit? What can we learn from a story that at first glance seems more than a little troubling.Episode 74 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 21If 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.

The Blessing is the Giving | Disruptive Presence 20

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 discuss the deep generosity of the disciples in Acts. Exploring how they lived out the call of Jesus (and Torah), we discuss the disciples' behaviour and attitude towards the poor.Episode 73 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 20If 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.

Incarnational Spirituality | Disruptive Presence 19

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 talk about how Acts shows us the holistic changes brought by the Holy Spirit. We often relegate Christian transformation into purely spiritual categories. However, in Acts 4:32f we see how the spiritual and the practical are impacted by what God is doing through the Holy Spirit as we saw modelled in Jesus. Acts leads us into Incarnational Spirituality - A spirituality defined in and by the person of Jesus.Episode 72 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 19If 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.

Borrowed Prayers | Disruptive Presence 18

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 talk about how prayers can be borrowed and should be. There's a pressure on us to always be fresh and creative in our prayers. Where did that come from. Often, as in Acts 4, when the early Christians prayed, they turned to the Psalms. We hope you enjoy this episode, as we surprised each other with how this conversation blessed us, so our prayer is that it blesses you too.Episode 71 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 18If 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.

Together | Disruptive Presence 17

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 notice the unity of the early church in Acts chapter 4. Encountering some opposition drives these ordinary people towards each other and God. It seems that the lack of pretension amongst these young Christians allow plenty of space for God to work in them.

Unschooled and Ordinary | Disruptive Presence 16

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 discuss how the disciples are seen in Acts 4. The contrast between the lack of the formal training of the disciples with the academic weight of those asking them questions deeply skews the dynamics of their trial. But once again, Acts shows us that the world of the Holy Spirit doesn't work as we'd think.

Two Different Powers | Disruptive Presence 15

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 discuss Acts chapter 4. The follow up from the miracle in chapter 3 leaves the early Christians positioned between the power of God and the earthly authorities - how should they navigate this? Episode 68 of the Two Texts Podcast | Disruptive Presence 15If 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.
