ACTS 4:12-31- HOLY SPIRIT BOLDNESS - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026ACTS 4:12-31 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”The Name of Jesus Forbidden13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done. 22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.Prayer for Boldness23 And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said:‘Why did the nations rage,And the people plot vain things?26 The kings of the earth took their stand,And the rulers were gathered togetherAgainst the Lord and against His Christ.'27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

In this powerful message, Minister Kendrick Scott encourages us to keep moving forward even when life feels like everything has been taken away. There are seasons when we experience disappointment, loss, setbacks, and moments where it seems like there is no way to recover what we've lost. But just because something looks finished doesn't mean God is finished. This message will encourage you to trust God in difficult seasons, strengthen your faith when you feel discouraged, and remember that what you're facing today does not have to determine how your story ends. When it looks like all hope is gone, don't stop believing, don't stop pursuing, and don't give up on what God can still do. There is still hope. There is still purpose. Keep pursuing. www.kingdomrock.org

Episode Overview Coaching isn't just about asking great questions—it's also about having the courage to speak the truth with grace. In this conversation, Brian Miller and Mary Selzer explore the role of boldness in coaching, from establishing healthy coaching agreements to making difficult observations that create lasting awareness. They also discuss why silence is often the coach's greatest ally and how giving clients space to process can be more transformational than saying one more thing. Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. Truth Must Be Spoken with Grace Coaching requires honesty, but equally important is how truth is communicated. Difficult observations should be offered with care, humility, and genuine love for the client. Boldness isn't about confrontation—it's about serving the client's growth. 2. Coaches Teach People How to Be Coached Healthy coaching begins with a clear coaching agreement. Sometimes clients need guidance on what creates an effective coaching conversation. Setting boundaries early creates stronger coaching relationships later. 3. Boldness Begins with the Coaching Agreement Mary shares the story of coaching a distracted pastor who repeatedly tried to coach while camping and working. A simple but courageous conversation about expectations transformed the coaching relationship for years. Sometimes the most important coaching happens before the coaching even begins. 4. Great Observations Require Courage Coaches must be willing to say what they genuinely observe. A well-timed observation can create awareness that no question alone could produce. Truth spoken with love often becomes the turning point in a conversation. 5. Silence Is Part of the Coaching After a significant insight, resist the urge to fill the silence. Clients often need time to process what they've discovered. Silence is not awkward—it's where transformation often begins. 6. Marinating vs. Stewing Mary compares productive silence to marinating, allowing insight to soak in naturally. Coaches often mistake silence for stewing, assuming discomfort means they should jump back in. Giving clients room to "marinate" allows awareness to become lasting change. 7. Say Less to Say More Powerful coaches use fewer words. A concise observation followed by silence is often more impactful than a lengthy explanation. The goal isn't to explain the insight—it's to give the client ownership of it. Memorable Quotes & Ideas "It's not just telling the truth—it's how you tell the truth." "We teach people how to be coached." "Speak the truth in love." "Silence should be a time of marinating, not stewing." "I won't speak again until they do." "The fewer words we use, the more powerful our observations become." "Let silence do the heavy lifting."

I Thessalonians 2:1-6 – Boldness due to Motivation
Prayer for Gospel Proclamation at Universities in the Buddhist WorldChristians Seeking Unbelievers on University Campuses: Pray that believers will actively seek out students who do not know Jesus, following His example of pursuing those who are far from God. (Luke 19:10)Boldness to Preach the Gospel: Pray that Christian students, campus workers, and local believers will boldly share the good news of Jesus, knowing that the gospel is the power of God for salvation. (Romans 1:16)Divine Connections: Pray that God will lead believers to students who are searching for truth, just as He sent Philip to the Ethiopian official who was reading the Scriptures and ready to hear about Jesus. (Acts 8:26–39)
In this episode, we see that there are religious leaders in Jesus day who believe in Him, but are afraid to be associated with Jesus because they are afraid of losing their standing in the community!

In the Parable of the Talents, could it be that the third "worthless" servant should be our model? Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30
Just like God had perfectly orchestrated the details in Esther's life to get her in a position to save her people, God has worked in our lives to put us exactly where we are for His purpose. We must step out in obedience and share the Gospel with those around us so that we can fulfill our purpose on earth and grow His Kingdom by reaching others for His sake.

Set Apart - Pt 7 - Looking for the Lion-hearted (2 Kings 11) "The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." — Proverbs 28:1 Where do you turn for courage when the world around you feels chaotic and dark? In this message we dive into 2 Kings 11—a chapter marked by political turmoil, danger, and one of the darkest eras in Judah's history. But right in the middle of the crisis, two remarkable heroes stepped up to change the trajectory of an entire nation. Surprisingly, they weren't decorated soldiers or powerful rulers. They were an aging priest named Jehoiada and a young mother named Jehosheba. Tune in as we explore their powerful story and uncover what it really takes to live with a lion-hearted faith today. You'll learn how God uses ordinary, daily obedience to produce extraordinary courage—and how you can stand firm no matter what you're facing. In This Message, We Discuss: **** – Introduction: What does it mean to be "as bold as a lion"? **** – The dark backdrop of 2 Kings 11 and Athaliah's reign **** – Unlikely heroes: Jehosheba's quiet act of bravery **** – Jehoiada's strategic faith and leadership **** – Practical application: Cultivating courage in your everyday life Resources & Links:

Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode I sit down with Mel Mack for the complete interview.Mel is an acting coach, casting director, actress, and author of 101 Acting Tips, and coaching is really the thread that runs through everything she does. We start with where she's from — Buffalo and Medina, New York — and how she found acting before making the leap to Hollywood, Florida, and eventually Los Angeles with no map for how the business actually worked.What stuck with me most was Mel's take on boldness and analysis paralysis — how so many actors talk themselves out of the choice that would've booked the room, and how she coaches actors out of that pattern. She's blunt about the gap acting schools leave in actors' training: technique gets taught, the business side almost never does. That gap is exactly why she started her own acting studio — the same instinct that carried her through booking Will & Grace and working with Madonna. We also get into what it actually means to bring your authentic self into a room, why bigger choices are easier for a director to work with, and how she coaches actors to adapt their skills across mediums.If you've ever walked out of an audition knowing something was off but couldn't name it, this conversation is for you.In this episode we discuss:Why she started her own acting studio, and the gap in acting education that led her thereHow she coaches actors out of analysis paralysis and into bolder choicesCoaching actors on bringing their authentic selves into the roomWhy bigger choices are easier for a director to work withCoaching actors to adapt their skills across different mediumsBreaking into Los Angeles and learning the business the hard wayBooking Will & Grace and working with MadonnaGrowing up in Buffalo and Medina, and the move to Hollywood, FloridaGuest: Mel Mack, acting coach and author of 101 Acting Tips Mel Mack Acting Studio: https://melmackactingstudio.com/Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Mel Mack 00:00:41 - Growing Up in Buffalo and Medina 00:02:15 - Discovering Acting and Moving to Hollywood, Florida 00:04:09 - Boldness, Risk-Taking, and Analysis Paralysis 00:11:48 - Breaking into Los Angeles and Learning the Business 00:13:05 - Why Acting Schools Don't Prepare Actors for Auditions 00:16:11 - From Audition Struggles to Starting an Acting Studio 00:17:57 - Booking Will & Grace and Working with Madonna 00:21:03 - Helping Actors Bring Their Authentic Selves 00:23:57 - Adapting Acting Skills for Different Mediums 00:24:28 - Why Bigger Choices Are Easier to Direct#Acting #ActingCoach #ActingTips #AuditionTips #ActingStudio #CastingDirector #WillAndGrace #Madonna #Hollywood #ActingCareer #Podcast
We look today at the result of the healing of the paralytic and the trial of the apostles Peter and John before the Jewish leaders, seeing Acts 4:1-22 in the light of Exodus 34:29-35; Deuteronomy 13:2-4; Psalm 118; Isaiah 43:11, 45:21-23; Luke 20:1-17; 2 Corinthians 4:4-6; and Philippians 2:5-11. God uses the humility of the fishermen to bring 5000 men (with their families) to the LORD, and makes them “most wise” in their hour of trial.

Why does evangelism feel so difficult, and how can Christians grow in boldness when sharing the gospel? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explains that evangelism is not merely a method, personality type, or awkward religious duty, but the joyful proclamation of the good news that Jesus Christ reconciles sinners to God. Tracing God's missionary heart from Abraham to Israel, from the Gospels to the Great Commission, Cory encourages believers to trust the power of God's Word, pray for boldness, and begin with the lost people already around them.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Message from Sam Paris on July 26, 2026
Being ashamed of the gospel is rarely about the gospel itself. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar examine why believers often shrink back from boldly identifying with Christ and how the fear of man quietly competes for the worship that belongs to God alone. The guys explain that shame is often rooted in idolatry, whether it is the desire for approval, the pursuit of success, or the fearof rejection. When acceptance from others takes the throne of the heart, faithfulness to Christ becomes increasingly difficult. Yet the gospel frees believers from living for the opinions of man and calls them to treasure Christ above every earthly idol.The guys emphasize that the world has always opposed God's truth, yet believers are still called to proclaim the gospel with compassion and courage. They reflect on faithful examples of Christians who patiently shared the gospel for years, reminding listeners that salvation belongs to the Lord and that no one is beyond His reach. Rather than letting fear silence them, believers are called to love people enough to speak the truth, trusting God to accomplish the work only He can do. Evangelism becomes an act of worship, flowing from gratitude for the grace believers have already received.The guys also discuss how believers overcome shame by fixing their eyes on Christ rather than on themselves. When idols are removed from the heart and replaced with a greater affection for God, the fear of people begins to lose its grip. They explain that remembering the gospel, meditating on eternity, and growing in love for Christ naturally produce boldness. Just as the disciples counted it an honor to suffer for the name of Jesus, Christians today are called to see opposition as an opportunity to identify with their Savior. The more believers treasure Christ, the less intimidating the world's opinions become.Finally, the guys offer practical encouragement to grow in confidence while sharing the gospel. Boldness develops through faithful obedience, regular study of Scripture, prayer, and consistent conversations with others. They encourage listeners not to wait until they have all the answers but to trust that God equips those who step forward faithfully. Even when believers struggle with fear or shame, Christ welcomes them with mercy and grace rather than condemnation. Ultimately, the guys remind listeners that the gospel is God's power for salvation, Christ is worthy of wholehearted devotion, and there is no greater privilege than making Him known to a world that desperately needs Him.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

Edwin Colon Matthew 13:1-23
Ariyana Rimson teaches that disciple making is Christ's command beginning with submission to God (James 4:7). She urges executing Scripture—not personal opinion—resisting the enemy, and modeling a Christ-following life through teaching, Scripture-based advice, and accountability. Using her S.U.B.M.I.T. framework (Submit, Understand, Boldness, Mutual submission, Invitation, Temptation/pride), she shows how humility, community, and gospel-centered relationships transform lives, especially in her work with women in recovery.

Give Us Boldness-Pastor Kelly Wilde by Capital Church - Meridian, Idaho
Let us live boldly because we pray boldly and trust God completely.
Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, "Living Free," focusing on being living dangerously Free. Dr. Sam Storms joined us to explore how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live boldly for Christ. Looking at Acts 4, we discussed what it means to be filled with the Spirit, trust God’s sovereignty, and find the courage to proclaim the gospel faithfully. Dr. Storms is the founder and president of Enjoying God Ministries and serves on the Council of the Gospel Coalition. The Director of the Land Center for Cultural Engagement at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Daniel Darling, also joined us to discuss Christian patriotism, civic responsibility, and how believers can love their country without turning politics or national identity into an idol.He wrote, “In Defense of Christian Patriotism.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Rather than shrinking back under pressure, the apostles boldly proclaim the gospel and demonstrate what it looks like to obey God above all else. In this verse-by-verse Bible study, we discuss: Peter and John's arrest by the religious leaders Peter's bold defense before the Sanhedrin Why believers must obey God rather than men The early church's prayer for boldness instead of comfort God answering their prayer by filling them with boldness The unity and generosity of the early church What bold, Spirit-filled Christianity looks like today Acts 4 reminds us that opposition to the gospel should never silence believers. Instead, the early church responded with prayer, courage, and unwavering commitment to proclaiming Christ.
