A man sits at the edge of worship, asking for coins and expecting little. We walk with Peter and John to the Beautiful Gate, where a simple pause, a steady gaze, and the name of Jesus transform a lifetime of waiting into a first step, then a leap. What starts as a quiet act of compassion turns into a public invitation, as Peter explains the miracle and points an amazed crowd back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who raised Jesus and is still at work—here, now.
We explore why signs and wonders show up in Acts not as party tricks, but as living proof of a resurrected King and a kingdom breaking in. Peter pulls no punches: the crowd rejected Jesus, yet God’s plan was never off track. The cross fulfilled what the prophets promised, and the resurrection launched a movement of ordinary people carrying extraordinary power through the Holy Spirit. From Moses to Samuel to Abraham, the story has always aimed at blessing the nations, and this healing becomes a doorway for grace to flow through an unlikely witness.
If you’ve ever felt too ordinary to make a difference, this conversation will steady your courage. We talk about giving what you have—even when it isn’t silver or gold—trusting Jesus with outcomes, and inviting others to experience “times of refreshing” from the presence of the Lord. You’ll hear practical encouragements on sharing your story, naming Jesus without hogging the spotlight, and letting compassion lead you to pray bold prayers at the thresholds of people’s pain.
Listen now, share it with someone who needs hope today, and tell us: when was the last time you offered what you had and watched God do more than you imagined? If this encouraged you, follow the show, leave a review, and pass it along to a friend who’s exploring Acts.

We’d love to hear from you. (For questions, use the links above.)
