Scripture doesn’t suggest every form of wisdom produces a better, more flourishing life.

LET GOD DISRUPT YOUR WORLD AND SHOW YOU WHAT HE CAN DO. When we open the book of Acts, we’re struck by the gap between our experience and the movement described in its pages.

A movement that was bold in persecution, generous in love, alive with God’s presence, and on the move from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. What if Luke isn’t just telling us, “This is how it was,” but also saying, “This is how it can be”?
