Episode Details

Closed doors can be the Holy Spirit’s guidance, even when we are trying to do something good. We wrestle with how to follow Jesus with trust and courage when obedience brings uncertainty and resistance. 
• the overlooked line in Acts where the Spirit blocks Paul’s plans 
• closed doors as direction rather than failure 
• discernment as responsiveness instead of control 
• moving with only enough light for the next step 
• Jesus’ warning that real discipleship brings friction 
• the clash between the world’s logic and the Gospel’s logic 
• the difference between persecution and ordinary difficulty 
• the temptation to blend in to avoid tension 
• the question that tests our motives: what guides our decisions?
