Episode notes
Choose A Community That Calls You Out
- Do surround yourself with people who correct you rather than conspire with you.
- Jacob warns against entourages that normalize sin and encourages communities that lovingly call each other to holiness.
They Lied To The Holy Spirit Not Just People
- Peter exposes their sin as lying to the Holy Spirit, not merely to people, showing their deceit targeted God.
- The heart issue was religious performance: wanting praise without surrendering possessions or obedience.
Demonic Influence As Numbed Selfishness
- 'Satan filled their heart' describes a numbing to conscience where selfishness gains a foothold, not a dramatic exorcism.
- Jacob equates this demonic influence with pride, performance, and choosing appearance over holiness.
