Episode Details

God moves first, drawing us toward himself long before we think to search for him. We follow Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch to see how obedience, guidance in Scripture, and decisive surrender open the door to real encounter with Christ. 
• God’s initiative as the starting point of the spiritual life 
• Philip’s obedience without a plan or map 
• The Ethiopian eunuch as an outsider who still seeks God 
• “Do you understand what you’re reading?” and the need for guidance 
• Proclaiming Jesus through the Scriptures rather than ideas 
• “What is to prevent me?” as a model for prompt surrender 
• Jesus as the Bread of Life and the Father drawing us in 
• Naming hesitation, fear, and delay as common spiritual obstacles 
• A practical examen question: where God is already at work
