This week on #evangebros we start in chapter one of Acts. I would say we spend quite a bit of time talking about the Spirit of God, and laying a bit of groundwork for chapter two. While I am not sure that\u2019ll always be the case, I can imagine that chapters where a lot happens in the following chapter we\u2019ll lay some ground for the next episode. And it feels like we did that a lot with this one. But not in a bad way.<\/p>\n\n\n

We also talk a little bit about how it may have felt to be Matthias coming in to replace Judas.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hope you all enjoy! Also if you haven\u2019t reach chapter one, there is a minisode where I read it to you (if you want to familiarize yourself with it before you listen).<\/p>\n\n\n

Have a great week!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
