Dear God, Amen: Acts 15: When God Turns Conflict Into Mission

Dear God, Amen is back in Acts 15—and this chapter gets real.What happens when believers disagree? What happens when religious traditions get mixed with the gospel? And what happens when two faithful followers of Jesus can't agree on how to move forward?In Acts 15, the early church wrestles with some enormous questions: Is salvation earned through keeping the law, or is it received through faith in Jesus Christ? How should believers handle disagreements? And can God still work through conflict?Adam and Obie dig into Peter's powerful reminder that we are saved by the grace of Jesus—not by carrying a burden that none of us can bear. They also explore how easily Christians can bring old traditions, preferences, and personal convictions into their faith and accidentally make following Jesus harder than it needs to be. Then Acts 15 gets incredibly personal.Paul and Barnabas have a sharp disagreement over John Mark and ultimately go their separate ways. But instead of allowing the conflict to end the mission, God uses the situation to create two missionary teams. And later, Mark becomes valuable to Paul's ministry.  That leads Adam and Obie into a deeper conversation about discipleship, failure, reconciliation, encouragement, and trusting God with broken relationships.The episode also explores what it means to encourage and strengthen others—including the role that encouragement and community played in the beginnings of Big Sky Testify. And ultimately, the conversation comes back to faith, hope, and love—and the reminder that God's love is bigger than our ability to fully comprehend it.Acts 15 reminds us that we don't have to earn God's grace, we don't have to carry every conflict ourselves, and our failures don't have to be the end of our story.Listen to the newest Dear God, Amen and walk through Acts 15 with Adam and Obie.#DearGodAmen #BigSkyTestify #Acts15 #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #Faith #Grace #Jesus #ChristianLiving #Discipleship #Reconciliation #GodsGraceSend us Fan Mail
