Why did Paul fight to free Timothy from the law — and then turn around and circumcise him? The answer reveals one of the most practical ministry principles in all of Acts. In this episode, Dallas and Carlos walk through Acts 16 and unpack three movements that still speak directly to how we live today: Timothy's willingness to sacrifice for the sake of the gospel, Lydia's conversion and what it means to run your home and business as an act of worship, and Paul and Silas singing hymns at midnight in a prison cell — right before God shook the walls down. Whether you're navigating tension between your faith and your culture, trying to figure out what it looks like to be a Christian in the workplace, or just need a reminder that God moves in the hard moments — this one is for you. --- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Intro & The Question: Why Did Paul Circumcise Timothy? 1:20 — Welcome & Recap of Acts 15 2:00 — Acts 16:1–5 | Meet Timothy: Dual Citizen, New Disciple 3:45 — Jewish Law 101: Why This Moment Is Complicated 5:00 — Paul's Strategy: Remove the Roadblocks, Not the Gospel 7:00 — Dallas's Story: The Ponytail, the Calling & What God Asked 10:15 — What Are You Willing to Give Up So the Gospel Has Room to Breathe? 12:00 — Corey's Story: Gauged Ears and a Mission Trip to Cambodia 13:00 — Acts 16:11–15 | Lydia: Seller of Purple 15:00 — How God Opens Hearts — and What Lydia Did With Hers 16:30 — Your Business, Your Home & Your Whole Life as an Act of Worship 18:20 — More Than a Jesus Fish: What Living It Out Actually Looks Like 19:00 — Acts 16:16–40 | The Slave Girl, the Demon & the Arrest 20:30 — A Real Warning About Divination (and Miss Cleo) 21:30 — Paul and Silas: Beaten, Chained & Still Singing 22:00 — The Earthquake, the Jailer & a Sword He Almost Used 23:45 — "What Must I Do to Be Saved?" — The Simplest Answer in Scripture 25:00 — What the Prisoners Heard Before the Miracle Happened 26:30 — A Whole Family Gets Saved: What God Does Through Obedience 27:30 — Final Thoughts: Don't Be Afraid of Sacrifice If It Points to Christ 28:10 — Closing & How to Connect with The Healing Place --- CONNECT WITH US Website: thpshreveport.com Email: mediahub@thpshreveport..com JOIN US IN PERSON Sundays at 10:00 AM | Wednesdays at 6:30 PM 638 Kingston Road, Shreveport, LA --- The Midweek Move is a weekly Bible study podcast from The Healing Place in Shreveport, Louisiana — examining scripture in context and asking: what is actually happening here?

Warning: Not everything that looks like the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit - and the Church needs to know the difference!Healings, prophecies, tongues, signs, and wonders are on the rise in the Church, but so is deception. We have to ask: Can the demonic actually counterfeit the gifts of the Holy Spirit? In this episode, we explore Scripture, church history, and theology to give you a serious, grounded answer.From the sorcerers of Pharaoh's court mimicking the miracles of Moses (Exodus 7:11–12), to the witch of Endor who brings up Samuel from the dead (1 Samuel 28), to the slave girl in Philippi whose spirit of divination produced accurate prophecy (Acts 16:16–18), the Bible is remarkably frank that the enemy is in the business of imitation. Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and his servants are no different.Working through passages like Deuteronomy 13, Acts 16:16-18, Matthew 7:21-23, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11, and 1 John 4:1-3, the guys walk through a biblical framework for discernment. Doctrine matters. But so does character, track record, submission to a local body, and the spiritual gift of discernment of spirits. They also wrestle with one of the strangest categories in Scripture: unbelievers who traffic in real spiritual power. Balaam. Caiaphas. The judges. The slave girl in Philippi who prophesied accurate things by a python spirit. What do we do with that? The answer isn't to run from the supernatural, but rather to pursue maturity so you can recognize the real thing.The goal isn't fear. It's discernment. Moses didn't stop demonstrating God's power just because Pharaoh's magicians could mimic a few signs. And the church today shouldn't either. We pursue the genuine. We hold it up against the false. And we trust that Yahweh is still greater than the gods of Egypt.0:00 – Introduction5:13 – Counterfeit Miracles Defined7:45 – Pharaoh's Magicians Examined13:08 – Discerning True vs. False19:36 – Slave Girl, Deuteronomy 1331:37 – Unbelievers Trafficking Holy Spirit47:38 – Eschatological False Prophets54:04 – Personal Experiences Shared58:09 – Biblical Evidence Summary1:00:54 – Closing: Christ-Centered GiftsINTRODUCTION TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY:https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry___________________________________________INTRODUCTION TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY eCoursePRESALE: $100 OFF through May 1 LEARN MORE: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

In this powerful episode of our *Women of the Bible* series, we turn our attention to the often-overlooked story of the Philippian slave girl in Acts 16—a young woman caught in a life of spiritual bondage, exploitation, and suffering.We explore the depth of her oppression: controlled not only physically and economically by her masters, but also spiritually and mentally through demonic influence. Used as a tool for profit, her humanity was overshadowed by the forces that enslaved her. Yet even in such a dark and seemingly hopeless situation, God was at work.Through the encounter with Paul, we witness a dramatic moment of deliverance as he, grounded in humility and authority in Christ, commands the spirit to leave her in the name of Jesus. This act is not about spectacle or recognition—it's about true freedom. Paul refuses to be swayed by the attention or declarations of the demonic, remaining firmly rooted in his identity and mission in Christ.This episode unpacks what this story means for us today. It reminds us that salvation is not only a future promise but a present reality—freedom from spiritual oppression, restoration of dignity, and release from whatever seeks to control or diminish us.We also reflect on the striking truth that even demons recognize who Jesus is, yet it is God's perfect timing and authority that brings about true deliverance. In what appears to be a dire and unjust situation, God's power breaks through, bringing liberation and hope.Join us as we dive deep into this compelling story of redemption, spiritual authority, and the transformative power of Jesus—a message that still speaks into our lives today.

Joseph Bediako | A Slave Girl Freer Than A King! | 15th February 2026 by Bromley Town Church
As we transition from Black History Month to Women's History Month, I've chosen a topic that encompasses both, a topic that addresses a major misconception in American history. What role did white women actually play in enslaving people? For a very long time, historians assumed that women were merely passive enslavers. They enslaved because their husbands enslaved. They were involved only because of their roles as housekeepers. But, when we look at the actual evidence - documents, letters, interviews, etc. - we are forced to consider another reality. In many cases, white women played an active, possibly even dominant, role in buying, selling, punishing, and hiring out enslaved people. Let's fix that. Support the show!

Get ready for a wild ride because this story is bananas! This week, I uncover the unbelievable true story that is the life of Harriet Jacobs. Born enslaved in Edenton, North Carolina in 1813, Harriet would go on to escape from slavery in the most remarkable way. I'm talking, hoodwinking various prominent white men and hiding in an attic crawl space for 7 years remarkable. But, most importantly, Harriet would later tell her story to the world, becoming the first woman to author a fugitive slave narrative in the United States. However, despite her bravery in coming out with a story viewed as very taboo and even shameful at the time, the masses refused to believe that "Incidents of the Life of a Slave Girl" was true or that it was written by Harriet herself for 120 years.

2025 Maya Angelou Book Award winner Alison C. Rollins joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V. V. Ganeshananthan to discuss her 2024 poetry collection Black Bell. She explores the history and symbolism of a bell-laden iron device used to control and torture enslaved people and describes the replica she created after studying metalworking. She also recounts the story of Harriet Jacobs, who spent seven years hidden in her grandmother's attic before escaping slavery. Rollins talks about how her poems engage in call and response with other texts, including the music of Sun Ra and Stevie Wonder and images connected to ornithology, anatomy, Afrofuturism, and the history of slavery. She reflects on who has historically been granted the title of “poet” in America and discusses the archival research behind her writing. Rollins rings a glass bell and reads several poems from Black Bell.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Colossians Chapter 1 Study: The Preeminence of Christ and Reconciliation Introduction Encouragement to study Colossians chapter 1, focusing on the preeminence of Christ and the power of God. Acknowledging personal feelings of inadequacy but emphasizing trust in God’s power to feed His sheep. God uses “foolishness of preaching” to save believers. Reference to Colossians 1:18-22 as the text for the message. “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;” “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled” “In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable in his sight” Prayer for God’s help and for the truth to find its place in hearts. The Inward Man vs. The Outward Man Concept of Inner and Outer Self Most people don’t understand the concept of the inward and outward man. There is an unseen man on the inside. God looks at the heart (inward man), not just the outward appearance. Example: Samuel anointing a new king for Israel. Salvation of the Inward Man God saves the inward man, not the outward man (which returns to dust). The inward man must be reconciled to God. The Second Death If one is only born once (physically), there are two deaths in the future. It’s dangerous to be unreconciled to God, even momentarily. If you die without being born again, your soul is unprepared to meet God. Eternity is the most important subject to consider. Need to call on God before it’s too late. God’s Work of Reconciliation and Cleansing Miraculous Work of Salvation Personal testimony of being saved in 1976. Salvation is a miraculous, irreversible work that provides eternal life. Promise of never perishing. Ephesians 1:3-4, 7 Blessed with spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Chosen in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame. Redemption through His blood and forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace. Colossians 1:22 Presented holy, unblameable, and unreprovable in His sight through the body of His flesh through death. Reconciliation Through Christ’s Blood God reconciled us through the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus paid for and cleansed us of all sin (past, present, and future). God paid the penalty for our sin debt before we ever could. Calvary’s cross provided forgiveness for all future sins. Promise of being presented to the Father as holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. Purity of the Bride of Christ The bride of Christ (the church) has been made pure. God chose us before the foundation of the world and made a way for all sins to be paid for on the cross. We are made holy, unblameable, and unreprovable through Jesus’ sacrifice. Ephesians 1:4 Confirmation We should be holy and without blame before Him in love. Eternal Security Once born again, one is forever taken care of and will never be lost again. God’s plan at Calvary satisfied the justice of God for the penalty of man’s sin. God recognizes the work of His Son in us, making us holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. We are the sons of God because of the blood shed for our souls. We go to heaven because of what Jesus did, not what we’ve done. Addressing the Misconception of License to Sin Addressing the Misconception Addressing the idea that being forever clean gives a license to sin. Apostle Paul’s response in Romans: “How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Born-again individuals cannot live in sin. A new creature inside loves what was once hated and hates what was once loved. If truly born again, something bigger on the inside will chastise and bring one home. Isaiah 1:18 Though sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Jesus Christ’s sacrifice makes us white and clean in the blood of the Lamb. Everything we’ve ever done falls under the blood of Jesus Christ. Desire to Live Righteously Desire to live the way God wants us to live, not alienated from God or the church. Wanting to live without sin in our hearts. Payment for All Sin At salvation, all sins (past, present, and future) were paid for with Jesus’ blood. God accepted that payment and purged us of sin. Sealed to the Day of Redemption God sealed what He made white, pure, holy, unblameable, and unreprovable with the power of His Holy Spirit. Sins are gone and under the blood of Jesus Christ. Importance of Repentance and Fellowship Fellowship with God depends on willingness to repent daily. Repentance restores fellowship with God. Even if death occurs without a moment to repent, one dies clean, holy, unblameable, and unreprovable because the blood paid for all sin. Everything needed to make us perfect in Christ has been done. Freedom from Fear Freedom from living in fear over salvation. Belief in Jesus’ words: “I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish.” This statement is valid only if all sins were paid for, not just in part. Made holy, unblameable, and unreprovable and sealed to the day of redemption. Holiness and Righteousness Imputed Through Christ Being Holy as God is Holy The only way to be holy is through Christ. Romans 4:22-25 Righteousness was imputed to Abraham because of his faith. This was written for us also, to whom it shall be imputed if we believe on Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. Jesus was delivered for our offenses and raised again for our justification. Presented as Holy Jesus will present us to God the Father as holy. Holy means righteous, all right, not wrong. Focus on the inward man, not the outward man. Righteousness of Christ Imputed The righteousness of Jesus Christ, not our own, is imputed to us when we turn our hearts over to Christ. It was laid to our account and placed in our hearts, sealed until the day of redemption. Assurance of Salvation Not worrying about sin because, according to the Word of God, sins are gone. Sins are under the blood and gone forever. Living as Holy in Heart Desire to live as holy in the flesh as we are in the heart. God doesn’t halfway forgive sin; He forgives all sin. We are clean and white in the eyes of God. God’s Justice Satisfied The blood of Jesus Christ satisfied God’s justice. We are presented holy, unblameable, and unreprovable in His sight. This is only possible if He deals with our sin, which He did. Eternal Payment for Sin Jesus forever paid our sin debt, and we are saved forevermore. If He didn’t preserve us in that white, holy condition, we wouldn’t have a chance of getting into heaven. Every hope is anchored in the blood of the Lamb. Saved because of what Jesus did, the propitiation for all our sin. Unblameable and Unreprovable: A Miraculous Work Unblameable and Unreprovable Holy, unblameable, and unreprovable are the same concept. A person who cannot be blamed cannot be reproved. Reproving in the flesh helps us walk according to what’s in the heart. Cannot reprove what’s inside the soul; it’s either right with God or not. God had to do something miraculous to make our souls unblameable. Superiority of New Covenant We have something Job didn’t have. Job had great faith, but the blood of Jesus Christ had not yet been shed. Jesus rose from the dead, gathered up that blood, and presented it to God the Father as payment for our sins. Everyone who bows in the name of Jesus Christ can be born again and have their sins washed away. Perfection Through Christ Cannot be saved again because you can’t make perfect water. Cannot go to heaven if you aren’t perfect. Hebrews 9:11-12 Christ came as a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle. He entered the holy place once with His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us. He made us perfect on the inside. John 1:29 John the Baptist saw Jesus coming and said, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” Jesus died for sins we’ve yet to commit. Salvation wouldn’t be worth anything if it only covered past sins. He died for the sin of the whole world. God’s Perspective God will present us to the Father as holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. If God says we are unblameable and unreprovable in His sight, we should rejoice. No boasting or works are involved; we have no means of getting to God except through the finished work of Jesus Christ. Cleansing from All Sin and the New Birth 1 John 1:7 If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin. Cleansing from all sin is not about turning over a new leaf. Worthlessness of Self-Righteousness Salvation is not about what we do or will do. Kicking habits or stopping addictions doesn’t merit favor with God. Our righteousness is nothing but filthy rags. The flesh will return to dust, but something inside us was forever made holy and unblameable. Necessity of New Birth Either Jesus’ blood was sufficient for all our sins, or we need to live in constant fear. God knew saving the flesh was impossible because its nature is sinful. Jesus told Nicodemus we must be born again. We are new creatures in Christ because we are born again in the Spirit of God. Two Births, One Death Born once, die twice (physical death and lake of fire). Born twice, die once (only physical death). Boasting in the Lamb of God Boasting about the Lamb of God who shed His blood for our souls. Because we’ve been born again, we get to go to heaven, holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Justified means there is no condemnation, sin, or culpability. Devil’s Accusations The devil tries to blame, accuse, and reprove us. We end up at the altar where we bow our knee to Him, and the Holy Ghost of God purges us of sin. We have been made clean in the sight of God. We have something to be grateful for; God made a way. We can’t mess this up. Eternal Security and the Gift of Salvation No Need for Retuning No need to get “tuned up” on the inside man again. There is no “black” (sin) inside; it’s all in the nature of the flesh. That which He bought, purged, cleansed, and sealed to the day of redemption must be perfect and holy. Jesus’ promises of eternal life and never perishing would mean nothing if our sins weren’t gone forever. Justification Through Grace Being justified just as if we’d never sinned, freely by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus. God set forth Jesus to be a propitiation through faith in His blood. Assurance of Salvation The gift we got will never be in question. Hope that others have experienced the same and will get there. If you die tonight and have been born again, He will present you unto God holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. He did the work once, immediately, for all, and then sealed it. Salvation by Grace, Not Works We get to go to heaven not because of anything we’ve done that was good. No message preached or good deed done will get us into heaven. For the same reason good works won’t get us in, bad works cannot keep us out. Purged and Sealed He purged our sin, looked into the inward man, and identified all the dark past and future sins. The blood has paid for all sin, and it was cleansed and made white that day. He sealed it until the day He redeems us. Day of Redemption The day of redemption is when this old body expires. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. The Holy Spirit will no longer need to be sealed on us; we will be with Him. Doctrinal Belief This is doctrinal to our faith and what we believe. Sometimes we don’t remind ourselves of what great gift God has given us. Illustration of the Slave Girl and the Auction Block Story of the Slave Girl A young slave girl was being sold on the auction block, stripped from her family. She grew hateful toward all those bidding for her. One man bid a price far above what anyone else could pay and bought her. He tore up her papers and said, “You’re free.” She went after him and said she would serve him for the rest of her life. He bought her so he could set her free. Application to Salvation We serve God because we are debtors to Him. We will never be able to repay Him for what He did for us that day as a child. After millions of years, we will still be thanking Him for saving our souls. God’s Perspective When we see our regret, God sees the cross. When we see our sin debt, God sees the price paid in full by His only begotten Son. When we see our multitude of sins, God sees the blood of the spotless Lamb. When we say, “O wretched man that I am,” God says we are righteous because of Jesus Christ and what has been imputed into our hearts. Living a Life Worthy of Salvation Sons of God Whether we act like it or not, if we’ve been born again, the blood of Jesus Christ has made us sons of God. We ought to act like it and live every day of our lives 100% sold out and surrendered to the will of Jesus Christ. He’s worthy of no less than that. Assurance of Salvation If you’ve been born again, you’re going to heaven. He’s going to present you unto the Father, holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. You don’t deserve to go, but He made you worthy. That’s worth living for; whatever He says to do, we ought to do it. There aren’t enough devils in hell to keep us out of it if we’ve been born again. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. The only thing you can do with a gift is receive it. Invitation to Receive the Gift God made a way for you to be saved tonight. Religion won’t get you there; you must know Jesus Christ as your Savior. If you know Him in the free pardon of sin, who has done a work in you and made you holy, unblameable, and imputed the righteousness of the perfect one, then you can raise your hand and say thank you. Come forward if you don’t know Him tonight and receive this gift. Gratitude for Salvation Thank God for the blood of Jesus Christ. We have a lot to be grateful for. We can fall on our knees every day and shout hallelujah; He’s made us clean through the blood of the Lamb.

Acts 16:16-24 – Slave Girl
Acts 16:16-18 tells the story of a slave girl who is said to have a ‘Pythian spirit' which enables her to tell oracles, and we are told that the apostle Paul cast out the spirit from her. Drawing on her Yorùbá heritage and her personal autobiographical experience of having a great-grandmother who was a powerful Oracle in Nigeria, Olabisi Obamakin will look at that this story in a new light and will ask whether we should see the Pythian slave girl as possessed or powerful. Drawing also on 'Butterfly Fish', a novel by Irenosen Okojie that explores Nigerian worldviews and beliefs, Olabisi will show how the New Testament can be read in a new and powerful way through the lens of a Nigerian/British woman. Dr Olabisi Obamakin is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Theological Education at Durham University. As a Nigerian/British woman, she has a special interest in widening participation into Theology and has spoken about her work to multiple academic and public audiences including at Exeter Cathedral and on BBC Radio Devon.

God is sovereign in salvation 2. Obedience is our response to His work Slide 4 Scene 2: The Exorcism of the Slave Girl (16:16-24) Slide 5 Takeaway from Scene 2: We are wise to see the spiritual battle going on behind the scenes. Slide 6 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 Slide 7 Scene 3: The Conversion of the Jailer (16:25-34) Slide 8 “From one perspective, Paul and Silas's day was a picture of perfect mayhem. Their spiritual power was slandered; their gospel trampled by a mob; their innocence silenced by injustice. They appeared like two victims caught in the chaos of a merciless, purposeless world. But such was not their perspective. For Paul and Silas, all the day's sorrows rested in the hand of a sovereign God. God had called them to Philippi through a midnight vision. Was he now any less sovereign in a midnight prison? God had used them in Philippi to save Lydia and her household. Had he discarded them now? No, prison could neither thwart the plans of God nor remove them from his sight; of this they were sure.” Scott Hubbard Slide 9 Takeaway from Scene 3: We do well to ask ourselves “What does God owe me?” Slide 10 “He lets things happen that I don't understand. He doesn't do things according to my plan, or in ways that make sense to me… If you have a God great enough and powerful enough to be mad at because he doesn't stop your suffering, you also have a God who is great enough and powerful enough to have reasons that you can't understand… And so often, if God seems to be unconscionably delaying his grace and committing malpractice in your life, it's because there is some crucial information that we don't yet have, some essential variable that's unavailable to us.” Tim Keller Slide 11 Scene 4: The Vindication of Paul and Silas (16:35-40) Slide 12 Takeaway from Scene 4: In the end, God wins. And so do His people. Slide 13 The Takeaways from Phiiippi 1. God is sovereign in salvation 2. Obedience is our response to His work 3. We are wise to see the spiritual battle 4. We do well to ask ourselves “What does God owe me?” 5. In the end, God wins. And so do His people.

Women Series. Episode #2 of 4. In 1861, one of the most powerful slave narratives in American history was published under the title, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, written by Harriet Jacobs and edited by the famous abolitionist, Lydia Maria Child. The memoir unflinchingly recounts the unique experience that enslaved women faced in the American system of Black chattel slavery - to put it bluntly, Jacobs describes the years of grooming, manipulation, sexual harassment, and threats of rape that she faced at the hands of her master, Dr. Flint, and the abuse she took from her mistress, Mrs. Flint. Jacobs' memoir painted a picture of slavery that had all the brutality that we're familiar with learning about - backbreaking work, horrific physical punishments, tearing families apart, inhuman treatment. But it also added a new layer - that enslavement was a different experience for women, for whom sexual terror was a constant, pregnancy was profitable, rape was often unavoidable, and childbirth and wet nursing were part of their labor. For this episode in our latest series on women's history, we're talking about women and American slavery. Find transcripts and show notes at: www.digpodcast.org Learn more about your ad choices.

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is the stirring autobiography of Harriet Jacobs, a mother and fugitive, detailing her harrowing escape from enslavement, seven years hiding in an attic crawl space, and the racism she faced in freedom. Forgotten for decades after its original, 19th century publication, Jacobs' story was so harrowing and so brave it was thought to be fiction. Only through the research of historian Jean Fagan Yellin in the 1980s was it proven, once and for all, to be a brilliant and compelling work of nonfiction. Incidents is routinely cited by historians and fiction writers alike as one of the most influential texts of our time and our history. In this latest edition published by W.W. Norton (2025), Jacobs' characters come alive for a new generation of readers, and re-readers, this time contextualized with a new introduction and explanatory notes by Evie Shockley. Dr. Evie Shockley is the Zora Neale Hurston Distinguished Professor of English at Rutgers University.

A Woman, a Slave Girl, and a JailerMay 4, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Acts 16:11–40This Sunday, RD continues our series on the Book of Acts. In Acts 16, we see how the gospel meets three very different people—a successful businesswoman, a spiritually oppressed slave girl, and a hardened Roman jailer—and transforms them each in unique ways through an encounter with Jesus. The gospel is for everyone; it transforms and disrupts, overturning personal lives and societal systems with the love and authority of Jesus. The result isn't just individual salvation but the formation of a radically diverse, Spirit-filled community called the church.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/
Would there have been a Frederick Douglass if it were not for Betsy Bailey, the grandmother who raised him? Would Harriet Jacobs have written her renowned autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, if her grandmother, a free black woman named Molly Horniblow, had not enabled Jacobs' escape from slavery? In Black Elders: The Meaning of Age in American Slavery and Freedom (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2024), Frederick C. Knight explores the experiences of African Americans with aging and in old age during the eras of slavery and emancipation. Though slavery put a premium on young labor, elders worked as caregivers, domestics, cooks, or midwives and performed other tasks in the margins of Southern and Northern economies. Looking at black families, churches, mutual aid societies, and homes for the aged, Dr. Knight demonstrates the pivotal role of elders in the history of African American community formation through Reconstruction, offering a unique window into the individual and collective lives of African Americans, the day-to-day struggles they waged around their experiences of aging, and how they drew upon these resources to define the meaning of family, community, and freedom.

In today's episode, we really see God working in some interesting ways that might just serve as a reminder to us of what God is doing and how He's doing it in all sorts of situations.Introduction:The story involves three different encounters they had with three different groups of people. First, there is Lydia, a seller of purple. Then, there is this interesting young slave girl who is demon-possessed and follows Paul around. Finally, there is the most famous story, one of those classic Bible stories—the Philippian jailer.Episode Outline:Lydia's Conversion:Scripture Reading: Acts 16:11-15Paul, Silas, Timothy, and Luke travel from Troas to Philippi, a leading Roman colony.They find a group of women praying by the river, including Lydia, a worshiper of God and a seller of purple cloth.God opens Lydia's heart to respond to Paul's message. She and her household are baptized, and she offers her home to Paul and his companions.The Slave Girl and Paul's Annoyance:Scripture Reading: Acts 16:16-24A slave girl with a spirit of divination follows Paul and his companions, proclaiming their mission.Paul, annoyed, commands the spirit to leave her, and she is delivered.Her owners, angered by the loss of their income, drag Paul and Silas before the magistrates, who have them beaten and imprisoned.The Philippian Jailer's Conversion:Scripture Reading: Acts 16:25-40At midnight, Paul and Silas pray and sing hymns in prison, despite their suffering.A violent earthquake opens the prison doors and loosens their chains.The jailer, fearing the prisoners have escaped, prepares to kill himself. Paul reassures him that all prisoners are still there.The jailer asks, "What must I do to be saved?" Paul responds, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."The jailer and his household believe, are baptized, and rejoice in their newfound faith.The magistrates order Paul and Silas to be released, but Paul insists they be escorted out publicly to acknowledge their wrongful treatment as Roman citizens.Key Points:The conversion of Lydia highlights God's work in opening hearts to the gospel and the resulting generosity that comes from faith.The deliverance of the slave girl shows God's power over spiritual oppression and the liberation it brings.The dramatic events in the prison emphasize the importance of faith in Jesus Christ for salvation and the profound impact it has on entire households.Conclusion:In each of these encounters, we see God actively working through Paul and his companions to bring about His will. Whether it's through opening hearts, delivering from demonic oppression, or dramatically saving a jailer and his household, God's hand is evident. As we reflect on these stories, let's be encouraged to look for God's work Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Acts 16:16-24 – Slave Girl
In Episode 3 of My Epiphany, Rebekah Lisgarten tells us how as a teenager, she randomly picked up a book at a supermarket which changed the course of her life. Assuming the story was a work of fiction, Rebekah was horrified to learn that ‘Slave Girl' was the real story of Sarah Forsyth. At only 17, (just two years older than Rebekah) Sarah was trafficked to the Netherlands from the UK. During the course of her career, Rebekah has worked directly with trafficking survivors in the UK, Greece, India, and Cambodia. For five years she served on Stop the Traffik's Executive Team having a pivotal role in shaping its global operations. In October 2024, Rebekah was appointed as Stop the Traffik's new CEO.This is her epiphany moment.HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVEDEducate: Modern slavery is happening to people in the UK, in your town, in cities, on farms, and to people your age.
