He Knew It Would Cost Him Everything… and Still Said It (Acts 7)
Send us Fan MailActs 7 | Bold Faith That Costs EverythingIn this episode we continue walking through the Book of Acts, covering chapter 7.This chapter hit different for us. It’s one of the longest speeches in Acts, but also one of the boldest moments we’ve seen so far.We walk through Stephen standing before the religious leaders and speaking honestly about the history of Israel — but also calling out what was really going on in their hearts. And even though he knew the cost, he didn’t hold back.We talk about what real boldness looks like, what it means to stand firm in your faith, and how Stephen stayed focused on God even in the middle of intense opposition.In this conversation we walk through:Stephen’s speech and why it matteredThe response from the religious leadersWhat bold faith actually looks likeStaying grounded in truth when it’s uncomfortableKeeping your focus on God no matter the outcomeLike always, this is just us learning as we go — talking through Scripture, asking questions, and trying to understand it more deeply together.This chapter really challenges what it means to stand for your faith when it’s not easy.Support the showFind us on youtube! https://youtube.com/channel/UCC3i34WdxjjsO-dN9azKOVg Contact The Higher View Follow us on Instagram @j.garza77 & @alexusmariahleighEmail us at [email protected] for listening & keep seeing things from a Higher View! ☁️

The Book of Acts Explained (Ch. 5-6)
Send us Fan MailIn this episode we continue walking through the Book of Acts, covering chapters 5 and 6.These chapters were honestly a little heavier for us. We see how serious God takes the heart of the church, and at the same time, how quickly things begin to grow and get complicated.We talk through the story of Ananias and Sapphira and what it reveals about honesty, motives, and reverence for God. Then we get into the continued opposition the apostles faced — being arrested again, told to stop preaching, and still choosing to obey God no matter the cost.We also see the early church growing fast, which brings new challenges. There’s tension, complaints, and the need for structure, which leads to the appointment of the first leaders to help serve and support the community.In this conversation we walk through:Ananias and Sapphira and what we can learn from itThe apostles being arrested and releasedChoosing obedience to God over peopleThe rapid growth of the early churchThe appointment of leaders to serve within the churchLike always, this is just us learning as we go — talking through Scripture, asking questions, and trying to understand it more deeply together.This part of Acts shows that even in the middle of growth, the church had to deal with real issues — and God was still moving through it all.Support the showFind us on youtube! https://youtube.com/channel/UCC3i34WdxjjsO-dN9azKOVg Contact The Higher View Follow us on Instagram @j.garza77 & @alexusmariahleighEmail us at [email protected] for listening & keep seeing things from a Higher View! ☁️

Send us Fan MailIn this episode we continue our study through the Book of Acts, walking through chapters 1 and 2 together.We actually recorded this episode while on a trip to Arkansas in the Ozarks.

In the Bible Belt it is very common so it is more common to see Christians living comfortably and outside of the Bible Belt it is less common to hear about God which then leads to the hard yes or hard no which can lead to more reverence for God when you do come across it!This episode is raw, organic, playful and full of laughter and questions that you may not of heard beforeSupport the showFind us on youtube! https://youtube.com/channel/UCC3i34WdxjjsO-dN9azKOVg Contact The Higher View Follow us on Instagram @j.garza77 & @alexusmariahleighEmail us at [email protected] for listening & keep seeing things from a Higher View! ☁️
