Getting older is weird, but it does not have to mean getting dull, cynical, or stuck. We lean into a surprising promise from Scripture: even as we age physically, we can be renewed spiritually day by day. That theme sets the stage for a walk through Acts 18 and Acts 19, where Luke keeps circling three anchors: the way of the Lord, the word of the Lord, and the name of Jesus.

We follow the Apostle Paul as he begins his third missionary journey and heads back toward Ephesus, then we meet Apollos, a gifted teacher who is “mighty in the Scriptures” but still missing key clarity about the gospel. Watching Priscilla and Aquila take him aside is a masterclass in discipleship, humility, and biblical accuracy. The goal is not winning arguments. The goal is helping people see Jesus as the Christ and shaping a life around the truth of God’s word.

Next comes a sharp diagnostic moment: disciples who seem sincere but have never heard of the Holy Spirit. Paul’s questions cut through surface-level religion and point to the reality that we cannot walk in the way of the Lord by effort alone. We also tackle the darker side of spiritual counterfeits in Ephesus, including the sons of Sceva and the danger of treating Jesus’ name like magic.
