In which John and David reflect on the tension between the Spirit’s guidance and human interpretation. Acts 21 considers Agabus, a prophet who delivers an unembellished yet weighty word to Paul. Together, we discuss the role of prophecy in the Book of Acts and consider how the modern church often wrestles with the prophetic.

We explore the importance of humility in prophetic ministry, the dangers of manipulation, and how Christians can test and discern prophetic words without cynicism or naivety. Paul’s calm acceptance of Agabus’ message offers a model of trust and accountability for us today: “The Lord’s will be done.”
