Ep. 35 of Lent 2025: Acts 7:54-60 (The Cross Spreads)
from The Read Think Pray Podcast · host John Barringer
As Lent draws to a close and we enter Holy Week, we look back at the story of the first Christian martyr—Stephen. Though the cross isn’t explicitly mentioned in Acts 7, Stephen’s final words echo the words of Jesus from the cross, revealing how deeply the message of Christ had taken root. This episode reflects on how the cross had already begun to spread—into Stephen, into the church, and ultimately into the world. Even in apparent failure and suffering, God’s plan moves forward. The cross spreads—through us, too.--Reach out to the podcast: [email protected]Visit the podcast website at readthinkpray.com
