About this Episode

In this episode, we journey through Acts 8:9-25 and uncover one of the most overlooked but essential lessons in the Christian life: God is far more interested in transforming the heart than empowering the hands. Through the story of Simon the Sorcerer, we explore the difference between spiritual hunger and spiritual ambition, the subtle ways old identities follow us into new faith, and the danger of seeking the gifts of God without surrendering to the God who gives them.
