The message resonating through this dive into Acts chapters 3 and 4, where we witness ordinary fishermen transformed into fearless apostles after being filled with the Holy Spirit is seize every opportunity to speak boldly about Jesus.

The story unfolds at Jerusalem's Beautiful Gate, where Peter and John encounter a man lame from birth—begging daily for forty years. When he asks for money, they offer something far greater: "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." The resulting miracle creates the perfect opportunity for boldly proclaiming Christ, even to the religious authorities who had orchestrated Jesus' crucifixion.

What stands out most powerfully is how this boldness—described as "frankness, outspokenness, and freedom to speak"—precedes and triggers the miraculous. The early disciples didn't just happen to witness divine interventions; they specifically prayed for greater boldness and for God to "stretch out your hand with healing power" through Jesus' name. Their prayer shook the meeting place as fresh Holy Spirit power fell on them. This pattern remains available to us today. Too often, we keep God at arm's length, fearing disappointment rather than approaching with expectation. Yet the same words that transformed lives in Acts remain just as potent now.

Have you been holding back, waiting for the perfect moment to share your faith? Stop "spreading dum-dum sauce on pork chops and calling it gravy!" Revival isn't always flashy—it's happening right now through ordinary believers opening Bibles in coffee shops and praying boldly in public spaces. Ask God for the spiritual boldness that transforms both the speaker and the hearer, creating space for His miraculous power to flow. The world is desperate to hear about God's love, and you've been empowered to speak it boldly.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to see for the very first time? Not just with your eyes, but with your soul? In this modern-marvel of an episode you won’t just get told the story, but you’ll actually hear from the man himself. That’s right for the first time ever, join Auntie Lala for an incredible interview that reaches beyond space and time to speak with the man formally known as the Man Born Blind.

This story in John 9 is a masterclass in courage, transformation, and what happens when religious rules collide with divine love.

When Jesus encounters a man blind from birth, he doesn't just restore his sight—he ignites a fire. Using nothing but mud, saliva, and instructions to wash, Jesus performs a miracle that shatters cultural assumptions about sin and suffering. But the religious authorities can't celebrate this transformation because it happened on the Sabbath, and their rules matter more than the truth and this man's newfound vision.

What unfolds next is extraordinary. The formerly blind beggar transforms from a passive recipient of alms and healing to a bold defender of truth. As the Pharisees interrogate him repeatedly, his spiritual vision sharpens while theirs dims. His parents cower in fear of excommunication, but he stands firm—even when it costs him everything. "One thing I do know," he declares with new-found clarity, "I was blind but now I see." His journey culminates in a beautiful moment of recognition when Jesus seeks him out after his expulsion from the synagogue, revealing himself as the one they’ve all been waiting for.

This episode invites us to examine our own spiritual blindness. Where are we clinging to religious exercises at the expense of love and compassion? Where might we be missing God at work because it doesn't fit our expectations? And most importantly, do we have the courage to speak about Jesus to others when we've encountered His transforming touch? Join us for this powerful exploration of sight, insight, and the courage to stand firm when everyone else looks away.

The resurrection story is far more radical than we often realize. While churches debate women in ministry, Jesus himself chose Mary Magdalene—a woman freed from seven demons—to be the first witness and announcer of his resurrection.

In this powerful Holy Week episode, we journey to the empty tomb through Mary's eyes. What must it have felt like to lose your dearest friend to a brutal execution, only to discover his tomb empty days later? Mary initially didn't recognize Jesus, mistaking him for the gardener. It was only when he spoke her name that revelation dawned. This intimate, personal moment transformed history as Jesus commissioned Mary to announce his resurrection to the waiting disciples.

The language Scripture uses for Mary's assignment is significant—the same Greek word later describes Peter's proclamation of salvation to Cornelius. Yet tragically, the disciples initially dismissed her testimony. Had they completely rejected her message, they would have missed receiving the Great Commission in Galilee.

This sequence reveals a profound truth: God often works through unexpected vessels, challenging human restrictions on who can share divine truth. We confront the handful of Pauline texts often weaponized against women in ministry, showing how they address specific cultural situations rather than contradicting Jesus's clear command for all believers to go and make disciples. When reading Scripture holistically, we discover a Savior who consistently empowered women in counter-cultural ways.

The question remains: are we missing God's voice by silencing those he has chosen to speak? Join us as we reclaim the radical inclusivity of Jesus's ministry and break free from human-made restrictions.
