Episode Details

We’re in Acts Chapter 10! A Roman centurion named Cornelius receives a vision from God, while Peter has a strange vision of his own involving a sheet full of animals and the command to “kill and eat.” But as Peter quickly discovers, the vision isn’t really about food—it’s about people. We discuss the barriers coming down between Jews and Gentiles, what Peter’s vision means for Old Testament food laws, and how the early church began figuring out what parts of Jewish law applied to Gentile believers. Then the Holy Spirit falls on Cornelius and his household before they’re even baptized, leading to a much bigger conversation about speaking in tongues, spiritual gifts, charismatic Christianity, and whether miraculous gifts are still active in the church today.
