The Acts 29 Podcast

Moments of spiritual renewal have marked church history in powerful ways. Adam Flynt leads a timely conversation with Matt Chandler and Jamin Roller, asking how the church should respond when God seems to be stirring again. Reflecting on historic movements of the Spirit, they discuss the signs of renewed curiosity, repentance, and hunger for Jesus emerging across college campuses, in public conversations, and within local churches. The question isn’t whether something is happening, but whether we will simply observe it or step faithfully into it. Together, they call pastors and church planters to steward this moment with humility and obedience, asking the question that shapes it all: Is Jesus truly our greatest treasure?

Guest host Scott Zeller is joined by Adam Ramsey and Dwight Bernier for a thoughtful conversation on church-to-church partnerships and why they matter for the global vision of the church. They explore how the healthiest partnerships don’t start with strategy, but with genuine curiosity that grows into intentional friendship. Along the way, they touch on the unique challenges of ministry in Canada (including a lighthearted nod to polar bears) and give three truths that should not be underestimated. Overall, this episode reminds us that Acts 29 is more than an organization—it’s a network of churches on mission together.

The pair encourage openness among leaders to promote honesty, urging churches to be spaces of real connection amidst cultural challenges.
