In this episode I will walk through Acts 15, a pivotal moment in church history, the Council at Jerusalem. This wasn’t just a disagreement over tradition; it was a defining moment where the gospel itself was clarified. Together, we explore the tension between grace and legalism, asking the same question the early church had to face: Is faith in Jesus enough, or do we add rules to salvation?

I unpack Peter’s testimony, Paul and Barnabas’ missionary evidence, and James’ Scripture-anchored wisdom to show how the early church defended truth without weaponizing it. This episode speaks directly to modern believers navigating rules versus relationship, church division, and questions of unity. If you’ve ever wondered how to stand firm in truth while extending grace, or how God’s mission continues even through conflict, this conversation will encourage, challenge, and clarify the freedom we have in Christ.
