Ekklesia // The Wonder of it All

What if church wasn’t just a place to go, but a movement to be a part of? In this episode, we trace the wildfire spread of the early church—from awe-filled gatherings in Jerusalem to persecution-fueled expansion across the world. What kept their wonder alive? And why do so many of us seem to lose it?

Drawing from Acts and Paul’s letters, we explore how one man—Saul, the church’s fiercest enemy—became Paul, its most passionate messenger. Chained, beaten, and near death, yet still burning with wonder. Why? Because of the resurrection. Because of the gospel. Because of Jesus.

We’ll unpack how living out Christ’s character—through forgiveness, encouragement, and unity—can reignite that same wonder in us today. Maybe we haven’t lost it… maybe we’ve just forgotten where it comes from.

This is a call back to the Ekklesia—not just a gathering, but a movement marked by awe, sacrifice, and unstoppable joy.
