Episode Details

We’re in Acts Chapter 12! King Herod begins persecuting the church, James becomes the first of the twelve apostles to be martyred, and Peter is arrested and chained between guards awaiting trial.

We talk about Peter’s miraculous prison escape, angels and supernatural experiences, and the rise and fall of Herod. We also get into the danger of needing people’s approval and what happens when a leader begins to accept the worship that belongs to God.
