What does it look like to live out the values of Jesus in a world shaped by empire and domination? In this episode, Garrett McGeein explores the story of Stephen’s trial and execution in Acts 6–7, inviting us to consider a new kind of power—one rooted not in retaliation, but in courage, truth, and compassion. Drawing parallels to modern systems of control, Garrett challenges us to embody kingdom ethics by rejecting vengeance, choosing intercession, and reclaiming strength through humility. With moments of humor, depth, and dialogue, this message offers a grounded, powerful invitation to live “no more of this.”
