In this episode of Sawyer’s Spurs, Erik and Preston continue their Bible study through Acts 16–18, exploring Paul’s missionary journeys and the spread of the early church across the Roman world.

They discuss Paul’s decision to circumcise Timothy for the sake of ministry, the role of the Holy Spirit guiding where the apostles should go, Lydia’s conversion and the impact of faith within a household, and the powerful story of Paul and Silas worshiping in prison before the earthquake that frees them.

The conversation also dives into Paul’s time in Athens, where he challenges Greek philosophers by pointing to their altar “to the unknown god,” and explains how the gospel meets people within their culture while still proclaiming Christ as truth.

Along the way, Erik and Preston reflect on patience, mission work, cultural understanding, and how believers today can share their faith in a way that connects with the people around them.

Listen and join the conversation as they wrestle with Scripture, ask honest questions, and explore what Acts can teach modern Christians about faith, courage, and spreading the gospel
