Dear God, Amen: Obey God, Not Man

In this episode of Dear God, Amen, Adam, Tony, and Obie return to Acts 5 and explore one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture:"We must obey God rather than human beings." (Acts 5:29)The conversation begins with a personal testimony of God's restoration as Adam shares about reconnecting with his brother through an unexpected opportunity in New Mexico. From there, the discussion turns to the apostles' boldness after being arrested, imprisoned, miraculously freed, and ultimately beaten for preaching the name of Jesus.Why did they keep going? Why did they rejoice after suffering? What does obedience look like when it costs something?Together, the guys wrestle with difficult questions about faith, repentance, supporting others who are following God's call, and how comfort can sometimes create a spiritual fog that keeps believers from living on mission.This episode is a reminder that the Book of Acts isn't just history—it's a call to action. Day after day, house to house, believers are still called to proclaim the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.Scripture Focus: Acts 5:17-42Key Themes:• Obedience over approval• The power of restoration• Bold faith in the face of opposition• Supporting others in their calling• Living on mission every day• Rejoicing in suffering for ChristSend us Fan Mail
