Acts 7-8 | Nathan Wheat & Rebecca Carrell

You’re listening to Happy & Holy, the podcast where Scripture comes to life through a small group discussion. This season we’re walking through the birth of the Church in the book of Acts, and you get to be a fly on the wall to see what new things we learn with and from one another as we engage Scripture in community.

I’m your host, Kate Boyd. I’m a disciple maker, writer, and speaker who is making space in the church for Christians caught in the messy middle between conservative and progressive. We love Jesus, love people, and work with God and each other for a better world. Welcome to the show.

If you’re a Messy Middle Christian like me and you’re looking for a safe space to explore your faith, then the Messy Middle Christian patreon is the way to go. If you’ve listened to the show before, you know we like bunny trails and rabbit holes related to the Bible, Christian history, and how faith and life collide in unique ways. In this patreon community, you can get access to weekly bunny trails - curated content to explore something new - and monthly rabbit holes where I or some friends teach you about the many sides you can take on a Christian doctrine, themes and fun facts about books of the Bible, and deep dives into topics or concepts from the Bible or church life today. Plus you get the safety of a community doing the same thing right beside you. You can join for as little as $5/month and get curated adventures to discover more about what it means to follow Jesus in the messy middle. Learn more at patreon.com/messymiddlechristians

Today, I’m joined by Nathan Wheat and Rebecca Carrell, and we talk about the deep theology of Stephen’s speech, meet Saul for the first time in a not-so-flattering light, and dig into the movement of the gospel to Ethiopia. 

Nathan Wheat lives in Colorado, sometimes alone, and sometimes with his adventurous wife and his son. He grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado with a brief intermission in Belgium. Nathan attended Oklahoma Christian University to pursue a career in politics and left with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering to pursue a life of not working as an engineer. His favorite color is grey and he refuses to throw out socks with holes in them.
