Acts 2: Spiritual Exploration and Community Evolution

Released August 27, 2026 · With Mac and The Rev

Fire. Wind. A crowd. And then, mostly, meals together.

Mac and The Rev go back to Acts 2. They look at Peter’s Pentecost sermon and at the early church’s shared life of fellowship, meals, and prayer. Their read is that Acts shows a community working things out, not a fixed set of rules.

That leads to some pushback on exclusive teaching, and a case for inclusive connection.

Come hungry.

In this episode
