Deeper Podcast | Acts Week 6

Welcome back to the Deeper Podcast! This week, we continue our journey through the book of Acts, focusing on a pivotal moment in the early church. We look at the story of Peter’s vision—where God challenges centuries of tradition by declaring what was once considered “unclean” as now clean. It’s a powerful picture of the gospel breaking barriers.

We also dive into Peter’s realization that the same Holy Spirit given to the Jews at Pentecost is also given to the Gentiles—a bold affirmation that God's grace is for everyone.

🎙️ Special Guest: Chantel Smith (starts at 27:51)
This week, we’re joined by Chantel Smith, a dedicated volunteer at Fellowship and a full-time bus driver here in Topeka. Chantel shares her heart for helping students get to church—literally—by offering them rides each weekend. Her story is a beautiful example of what it looks like to be available and obedient to where God is calling, even in the everyday.

🚍 What happens when we make space in our lives for others to encounter God?

🎧 Tune in to hear how God is working through unexpected people, in unexpected places—and how you can be part of it too.

Welcome back to the Deeper Podcast! In this week’s episode, we continue exploring the powerful stories in the book of Acts—focusing on three transformational moments: Philip sharing the gospel with Simon, the Ethiopian eunuch, and Saul’s dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus.

All of these stories remind us that God often moves through ordinary people who are simply available—willing to respond wherever He places them.

🎙️ Special Guest: Justin Armbruster (starts at 20:03)
We’re excited to welcome Justin Armbruster, a real estate agent here in Topeka, as our guest this week. Justin shares how he lives out his faith by being present and available to those he serves—often during some of the biggest and most stressful decisions of their lives. His story is a powerful example of how God can use our everyday work as a platform for ministry.

💬 What if being available right where you are is exactly what God wants to use?

🎧 Tune in, be encouraged, and let’s keep going deeper—together.

Welcome back to the Deeper Podcast, where we dive into the heart of Sunday’s message and explore how we can live it out in real, transformative ways.

This week, in Week 3 of our “Church Reimagined: The Prodigal God” series, we reflect on one of Jesus' most powerful parables — the story of the Prodigal Son. We’re honored to be joined by Pastor Tim Hughes of Grace Point Church in Topeka. Tim shares personal stories from his time pastoring in Topeka, along with his deep hope for a more united and gracious church community across the city.

Together, we unpack how the radical grace of the father in the parable isn’t just a story — it’s an invitation. An invitation to reimagine what church can look like when it’s rooted in love, grace, and a shared commitment to being a community that welcomes everyone home.

🗣️ What does it look like to be a church that reflects the father’s heart?
🤝 How can we build a deeper, more gracious church community in Topeka?

Tune in, be encouraged, and let’s go deeper—together.
