The Church Acts Podcast is based around one idea. The Church has always been a house of action. The body of Christ was never meant to sit on the sidelines and watch silently, but to stand up and be the hands and feet and a light to the world. With each ep
What or who do we live to worship? Do our answers line up with what our lives and actions show? I was feeling really convicted about this the other day when I started thinking about what I was fixating on in my life. I'm not passing judgment, I just want to make sure that we are pointed in the right direction.
What if the cycles we're stuck in aren't accidents, but results of open doors and old lies? This episode explores the hidden patterns shaping our lives, the spiritual traps we walk into daily, and how even good habits can lead to destruction when rooted in deception. It's time to wake up, examine your base state, and confront the beliefs that are quietly holding you back.
What do you keep holding onto that needs to be removed. Stop pretending there's life in areas that are clearly dead. Isaiah 43:18-19 says,“Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
In this episode, we're talking about perspective—how our thoughts shape our reality and the way we approach the work God has given us. It's easy to let the wrong thoughts turn what was meant to be a blessing into a curse.How many of us are called to be set apart but spend years trying to fit in? How often do we compare our paths to others instead of seeking God's direction for our own?
Welcome back to the Church Acts Podcast! In this episode, Terry takes a deep dive into the idea of life's timeline—how the big and small moments, both good and bad, can shape how we see ourselves and our journey. You'll hear about finding clarity in hindsight, breaking free from old cycles, and embracing the open possibilities of the future. This is about reclaiming your story, letting go of the weight of the past, and leaning into the plans God has for you. Key Takeaways: Hindsight gives clarity, but it doesn't have to define where you're going. Charting your timeline can help you uncover patterns and gain perspective. Moving forward takes hope, action, and trust in God's promises. Action Step:Take some time to map out your timeline: Grab a piece of paper and draw a horizontal timeline. Mark major events—good, bad, and everything in between. Reflect on what those moments taught you and where you see patterns. Pray over your timeline and the blank space ahead, inviting God into all the moments to come.
In this episode we aren't going to just talk about opinions. We'll be going to the Bible to see what it has to say about things concerning Halloween and talk about a unique perspective that was shown to me.
Ever get that nagging feeling that something's not quite right, even though you can't pin down what it is? In today's episode, we're diving into this feeling of disconnection, which can often be traced back to our modern distractions. Whether it's an overwhelming schedule, feeling mentally scattered, or life just blurring by, these distractions come with a steep price. I'm shaking things up this episode by breaking things down in a more structured way. We'll discuss how distractions creep into our lives, how they impact our focus, and the surprising stats showing where we're headed if we don't make a change. My aim is to shed light on these issues so we can all find ways to focus better and enhance our daily lives.
15 minutes = almost 100 hours a year. All it takes is 15 minutes of intentional time to change your life.
John 13:35 "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Sometimes the most profound of lessons come from the most unlikely places. The wisest man to ever have lived told us to consider the ant. That's what we're doing today on the Church Acts Podcast. Verses Mentioned Proverbs 30:25 "The ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;" Proverbs 6:6 "Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise." Proverbs 4:26 "Ponder the path of your feet than all your ways will be sure."

Are you tired of living a Christian life with no results? Aimlessly lost in the day to day? It doesn't have to be like that and the Bible shows us what to do. Today we're talking about how to distinguish ourselves by taking a look at someone who came before us who did just that. Let's get to it.

This time of year is filled with hope, not just for thousands of years ago, but for today and for whatever tomorrow brings. On the episode today we'll be talking about how what seemed like the darkest day was actually the greatest setup for what ended up being the greatest victory. Let's get to it. Scripture References Job 1:6-12 6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.” 8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” 9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.” 12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 2:7-8 “…we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began. 8None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/terry-molinaro/message
