from Wisdom for the Heart · host Stephen Davey

Share a commentWhy are people so fascinated with the supernatural—ghosts, spirits, haunted houses, even Bigfoot? Recent surveys show that nearly half of Americans claim to have had a supernatural encounter. Yet with all this obsession comes fear, confusion, and anxiety. In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey explores Acts 17 and Paul’s encounter with the Athenians at the Areopagus. Surrounded by idols and altars—even one dedicated “To the Unknown God”—Paul took the opportunity to introduce the people of Athens to the true and living Creator. His boldness offers us a timeless example for engaging a world that is still searching for answers. Learn how to counter superstition with truth, how to graciously redirect people from speculation to revelation, and how to proclaim the God who alone provides peace, forgiveness, and eternal life. This message will help you see superstition for what it really is—and give you confidence to share the gospel in a confused world.Learn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
