Episode 10 — Small Acts, Real Faith: Living the Way of Jesus

In this episode of Built for Durango, Bob and Pastor Brian bring the story of Acts 3 — the healing of the beggar at the temple gate — down to street level.They begin with a relatable, human moment — parenting through a sick child — before stepping into one of the most powerful scenes in the early church. Peter and John don’t just perform a miracle; they stop, they see, and they respond. That moment becomes the framework for a bigger question: what does it actually look like to live like that today?This conversation doesn’t stay theoretical. It presses into practical, sometimes uncomfortable territory — making eye contact, engaging people others avoid, offering dignity in small ways, and becoming the kind of people who reflect Jesus in everyday interactions. The hosts are clear: most of us won’t stand at a temple gate and heal someone instantly, but we are called to carry the same presence, compassion, and awareness into our own community.They also tackle the internal barriers — social anxiety, busyness, hesitation — and point to the real source of transformation: time with Jesus. Not performance. Not personality. Formation. Over time, prayer becomes less of an event and more of a constant awareness, shaping how we see and respond to people.At its core, this episode is about stepping into the story. Acts 3 isn’t just history — it’s an invitation. Start small. Be faithful. Show up. And watch what God does with it.
