In Episode 256 of the 2 Minute Disciple, we explore Luke 17:5-6 and Jesus's teaching on faith that acts.

Through the image of mustard seed faith moving mountains, we discover that faith grows through exercise, not through passive reception. Just like muscles build strength through use, faith builds strength through obedience. Through guided meditation and a practical daily habit of courageous obedience, learn how to exercise your faith muscle and move the mountains in your life. Join us as we explore what it means to act on faith even when you don't feel ready.

Episode 112: Acts Chapter 22
Episode | March 23rd, 2022 | Season 1 | 6 mins 36 secs
audio bible, courage, daily bible, opportunities, partnership, speak to power, spiritual journey, spirituality
It’s interesting to me how God chooses to partner with people to take the Gospel to those who need to hear it the most. I am struck by the way that God uses what we have been through to shape us for the job ahead. Paul is able to gain access to unique audiences because of where he had been in life. He was an up and coming Jewish leader who was climbing the ranks when Jesus stepped in and he was also born a Roman citizen which will open other doors to him for the Gospel. I know in the moment, the things we go through don’t seem to be important, but God takes those things that have formed us and uses them in partnership with us to spread the Gospel where only we can.
Today, I want you to ponder this question, what have I been through that God can use in partnership with me to spread the Gospel?
