In this week's episode of The Fairbanks Lutheran Podcast, we dive into the Book of Acts—our companion every Easter season—and reflect on what the Resurrection truly means for the life of the Church. We explore how the early Church wrestled with a living, active God who brings new life in unexpected places—often without our permission. This episode centers on the powerful phrase from Acts: “God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life.” But don't overthink "repentance"—it's not just about guilt or turning away from sin. Here, it's about conversion, transformation, resurrection. It's about receiving the very life of Christ. We'll take a deeper look at: How the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is at work pouring divine life into our world. The surprising resistance of the Church to that life in others (yes, even us!). Why recognizing the Spirit in our neighbors invites us to set aside our distinctions and open our tables. How evangelical listening can help us see the Christ-life in people we might overlook. And the promise that you—yes, you—have been given new, risen, abundant life through Jesus. Join us as we rediscover the radical promise of Acts 11 and the joy of a God who makes all things new.
