Ep. 133 - This Life: More Than Religion (Acts 5:17-42) ft. Tryg Veker, Shayla Bassett, Rod VanSolkema

Update: 2025-10-21

Description

Gamaliel’s words in Acts 5 cut to the heart of every generation: “If their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is from God, you will not be able to stop it.” This episode unpacks that dividing line—how human-driven religion leads to jealousy, fear, and burnout, while Spirit-born faith produces courage, joy, and resilience even through suffering.

Preacher: Tryg Veker

Passage: Acts 5:17-42
