Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I walk through one of the story in Acts 8, Philip’s unexpected detour onto a desert road and the divine encounter that followed. The crowds in Samaria were buzzing, miracles were happening, and everything seemed fruitful and electric. And yet, God told Philip to walk away from all that... for a single soul. No bright lights, no big audience, just one man in a chariot, reading Isaiah and searching for truth. That moment reminds us that ministry doesn’t always happen in front of the multitudes; sometimes it’s one quiet conversation that changes eternity.We dig into why obeying God doesn’t always make sense on paper, why comfort and popularity aren't the markers of faithful service, and how own place in life might feel a bit like that desert road overlooked, but precisely where God is doing His work. I reflect on the humility it takes to follow without question, and how real power is found in those seemingly small moments of obedience.If you've ever wondered whether your corner of the world matters or if your faithfulness in the ordinary makes a difference this one's for you. Because one soul matters. And God knows exactly who’s on the road ahead.
