PodSwap - Walk With Luke

Send us a text

The ancient text ignites with new life in "Walk with Luke: A Church on Fire," a groundbreaking podcast that transforms how we experience the book of Acts. This isn't Scripture as dusty history—it's the roar of prison doors opening, the rush of wind at Pentecost, and the thundering voice of truth that turned the world upside down.

Launching this September, this immersive journey steps directly into the streets of Jerusalem and the world of the early believers. You'll hear the story through Luke's careful historian's eye and the voices of those who lived it—complete with the sounds of crowds gathering, chains breaking, and the unmistakable movement of the Holy Spirit. Luke's words come alive as he shares his motivation: "Truth, even the holiest truth, can be stolen by time if it is not carefully guarded." His meticulous investigation brings certainty to faith in an uncertain world.

The podcast features two complementary experiences. The main episodes present Luke's narrative dramatically, while midweek "Firelight Reflections" hosted by Rick and Lauren bridge ancient truth with present application. Together, they create a spiritual journey that awakens sleeping hearts and calls wanderers home. The power of Acts isn't locked in history—it's the same Spirit moving now, the same truth speaking today, the same fire available to the modern church. Subscribe at walkwithluke.com and join a community rediscovering what it means to walk in the revolutionary power of the earliest believers. Share this journey with someone hungry for hope and unshakable truth—the witnesses have spoken, the word has been preserved, and the fire is coming.

We talk about what it means tolive faithfully in these last
days and how to keep our heartsaligned with the truth.
Well, starting this September,I'm launching a brand new
podcast called Walk with Luke AChurch on Fire.
Now, this isn't just anotherBible study.
It's a fully immersive journeythrough the book of Acts.

(00:50):
We're going to step right intothe world of the early church,
hearing the story through theeyes of Luke and the voices of
those who lived it.
You'll hear the crowds, themiracles, the prison doors
opening and the power of theHoly Spirit moving through it
all.
And, just like this podcast, wewon't just hear the story.

(01:11):
We'll talk about what it meansfor us right now.
That's where FirelightReflections comes in.
It's a midweek devotionalconversation hosted by my friend
and producer, lauren, whoyou've heard here before on
Renewed Mindsets, and, of course, by me.
So here's what I'd love for youto do Make sure you're

(01:35):

moment that it releases, andtell somebody about it.
Episode the moment that itreleases, and tell somebody
about it A friend, a familymember, maybe somebody who's
hungry to know more about theearly church and the God who
still works the same way today.

(01:55):
All right, now I want you tohear what Walk with Luke is
about.
So this is the official trailer.
Is the official trailer.
Welcome to Walk with Luke.
A church on fire.
I'm Rick and I'm so glad you'rehere.

(02:18):
Before the fire fell, beforethe church shook the world,
before the story was carried tothe nations, someone had to
preserve the truth.
Today we walk with Luke, thecareful historian, the beloved
physician, the faithful friendwho chose to write it all down

(02:42):
so the world would know withcertainty of what God had done.
Let's walk together.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
My name is Luke.
You won't find many storiesabout me in the scriptures.
I didn't walk with Jesus duringhis ministry like Peter or John
.
I wasn't there when he raisedthe dead or calmed the storm,
but I walked with the ones whowere.
I was a physician by trade,trained to notice the details,

(03:28):
to investigate carefully and tobring healing where I could.
But what I found was a greaterhealing than medicine could
offer a cure for the soul.
A kingdom that could not beshaken, a king who conquered
death.
And I knew I had to write itdown, not because the memories

(03:53):
were fading, not because thestory was weak, but because
truth, even the holiest truth,can be stolen by time if it is
not carefully guarded.
I was not among the twelve whowalked the dusty roads with him.
I did not see the nets breakwith fish at his word, nor stand

(04:14):
on the hillside when he brokethe bread and fed the thousands.
But I knew the ones who had.
I sat with them by firelight.
I listened as they wept,remembering his voice.
I heard the way their wordsshook when they spoke of the
empty tomb and I knew thistestimony could not be left to

(04:35):
the crumbling memories of men.
It had to be written.
I investigated everything fromthe beginning.
I asked the mothers, thefishermen, the tax collectors,
the zealots.
I pieced together the miracles,the teaching, the prayers in
the garden, the roar of the veiltearing in the temple.

(04:58):
I searched for the heartbeatbehind the words.
I searched for the scars hiddenbehind the stories and I found
it all true.
So, my most honorable brothersand sisters, and all who would
later walk these words, I set itdown in order, not for fame,

(05:23):
not for wealth, but so that youmay know with certainty the
truth you have been taught.
This story is not a legend, itis not a myth, it is not the
exaggeration of desperate men.
It is life, it is death.

(05:43):
It is life, it is death.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
It is resurrection.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
This is the story of fire falling, of bold voices
rising, of chains breaking andhearts awakening.
This is the story of acts, andit must be told again and again.
This is the story of the churchon fire, and I want to walk it

(06:14):
with you.
So come with me, step back intothe streets of Jerusalem, into
the upper room, into thecourtrooms, the jail cells, the
synagogues, the shipwrecks andthe sermons that turn the world
upside down.
Let's walk together, not asspectators, but as if we were

(06:36):
there, because the spirit thatmoved then is still moving now.
This is my account Carefullyresearched, spirit, breathed,
written so that you may knowwith certainty the truth.
You have been taught my name isLuke and this is how it all

(07:12):
began.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Rick, again, thank you so much for walking with us
today.
Let me tell you I need yourprayers that God would use this
project to stir sleeping hearts,to call back the wanderers, to
ignite a fire of truth.
Once again.
