What if God's interruptions aren't setbacks but redirections toward something you could never orchestrate on your own? Philip's story will change everything.
Summary: Ever had your carefully laid plans completely wrecked? In this episode, we explore the story of Philip in Acts 8—a man called away from a city-wide revival to a desert road for a divine appointment with one person. Discover why God's interruptions are rarely random, how to discern divine redirection from distraction, and what it means when the door you were sure God was opening slams shut.
