The Book of Acts leaves us with an incredible clue for how to live as followers of Christ in the modern world. Unhindered may be the last word of Acts, but it’s the first word for those who put their hope, faith, and trust in the risen King Jesus.

The conversation recounts his spiritual journey, including incredible miracles and harrowing incidents he experienced both as a combat soldier and during times of peace.
