“But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day; but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: ‘And it shall be in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams; Even on My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit And they shall prophesy. And I will grant wonders in the sky above And signs on the earth below, Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood, Before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come. And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ “Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. For David says of Him, ‘I saw the Lord always in my presence; For He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted; Moreover my flesh also will live in hope; Because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.’ “Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. And so, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne, he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh suffer decay. This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.”

Exploring Leadership, Faith, and Accountability Through a Spiritual Lens
Can true leadership exist without accountability? This episode promises to unravel the complexities of authority, faith, and personal responsibility, drawing inspiration from Jonathan Mayhew's 1750 sermon. Join me, Jesse Cope, as we explore the spiritual dimensions of maintaining a strong connection with God and Jesus Christ, especially during life's trials. Through the lens of insightful analogies, we'll explore the importance of spiritual diligence akin to athletic training, and examine whether our actions in marriage and personal relationships align with biblical teachings.
We don't just stop at personal reflection but extend our conversation to challenge the societal norms surrounding authority. The legitimacy of leaders, whether religious or civil, is scrutinized through their fulfillment of duties and the enhancement of the public good. Using vivid examples, we'll question if titles alone command respect or if true reverence must be earned through action and service. This episode compels us to ponder the relationship between faith, responsibility, and civic duty. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how both personal and civic spheres demand integrity and accountability.
