If you’ve ever felt stuck, delayed, or like God’s promises are just out of reach, you’re not alone. Waiting is not just a part of the Christian life—it is the way of the Christian life. Every follower of Jesus has had to walk this road, and it’s often where God does His most profound work.

I’m thrilled to share something special with you today—chapter 1 of my new book Still Standing: Following Jesus Even When It Hurts.

I’ve written this book to inspire hope in the hearts of followers of Jesus who have encountered suffering as they have pursued obedience to Christ. Take a listen and if the message resonates with you, I’d love for you to grab a copy: https://www.amazon.com/Still-Standing-Following-Jesus-Hurts/dp/0802429971/

Thank you for listening, and till next time!

Acts 28 describes the final chapter of Paul’s journey to Rome after his arrest. Following a shipwreck, Paul and his companions land first on the island of Malta and then finally in Rome where he is placed under house arrest but given some freedom to receive visitors.

This chapter highlights God’s protection over Paul, the spread of the gospel in the midst of uncomfortable circumstances, and the fulfillment of God’s promise to bring Paul to Rome. Take a listen!

Paul never tires of telling his conversion story, and God never tires of using it to impact others.

Today we’re wrapping up Acts 26 where Paul shares before King Agrippa, Governor Festus, and other officials his testimony and the reasons behind his unshakable confidence in God’s promises.

Here are six key insights we can draw from this passage:

1. We hope in the promise because of the one who made the promise.
2. We hope in the promise because of the testimony of others.
3. We hope in the promise because Jesus is risen.
4. We hope in the promise because of how we have changed.
5. We hope in the promise because we obey.
6. We hope in the promise because God can do anything.
