Summary

 What's the difference between doing things for God and actually knowing Him? In this episode, Andrew and Nathan explore that question through Acts 6, looking at the characteristics of Stephen and the seven and asking whether the church today holds the same standard. The conversation moves through Paul's radical encounter with Christ, the freedom found in grace, and what it really means to love your neighbor. Honest, unscripted, and grounded in Scripture.
