Bible Talk With Sister Deb. Ananias And The Courage To Obey

Send us a text

What if the next brave step you take becomes the turning point in someone else’s story? We open Acts 9 to explore the unlikely partnership between a fearful church, a furious persecutor named Saul, and a quiet disciple called Ananias. While Saul’s blinding encounter on the Damascus Road grabs the headlines, the heartbeat of this conversation is the everyday courage of a believer who listens, pushes past hesitation, and moves toward a person everyone feared. That simple yes restores sight, confirms a calling, and ripples out into ministry that reshapes the world.

We talk candidly about why God’s commands often defy our comfort and logic—think Noah’s ark far from the sea, Moses striking a rock in a desert, and Israel circling Jericho instead of storming it. Through that lens, Ananias becomes a model for modern discipleship: a learner who keeps saying “Here I am,” a listener who trusts the next step more than a full plan, a servant who acts even when the risk feels personal. Along the way we share real stories from homes, clinics, and sidewalks where small acts—praying with a neighbor, offering a simple gift, speaking hope out loud—become moments of unexpected healing and grace.

If you’ve ever felt God nudge you toward something awkward, hard, or uncertain, this conversation will give you language, courage, and practical handles to move forward. You’ll hear why obedience is better than sacrifice, how excuses waste time we could spend loving people, and how the impact of a single faithful moment can stretch far beyond what we see.
