#255 - Stephen: A Faithful Witness in Power and Persecution - Acts 6.8-15

In this episode of The AL Pastor Podcast, Brian is joined by Noah as they dive into Acts 6:8-15, exploring Stephen’s Spirit-empowered ministry, his boldness in the face of opposition, and the miraculous power that flowed through his life. Though chosen for a practical role in the church, Stephen stepped into a greater calling, performing wonders and signs that pointed to God’s power. But as history repeats itself, opposition quickly arises—false accusations, misrepresentation, and a trial reminiscent of Jesus’ own. Brian and Noah unpack these powerful verses using insights from Stanley Horton, drawing out key applications for today. What does it mean to stand firm in truth when the world opposes? How does the Holy Spirit empower believers to speak with wisdom and boldness? Tune in as they discuss how Stephen’s example challenges us to live courageously for Christ, no matter the cost.
