Read in this 5-day devotional about a man called Festus, who called Paul mad when he was confronted with the truth. Learn about how truth hurts as well as heals and find out how truth can set you free.

Paul has been languishing in prison for two years, falsely charged with crimes he didn’t commit. But this bondage did not bring bitterness; it brought renewed purpose. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey into what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

This six-day devotional walks through the final chapters of Acts and invites you to reflect on what faithful Christian living really looks like in the real world. Through Paul’s journey from Jerusalem to Rome, you will see that following Jesus often leads through opposition, delay, suffering, and uncertainty, yet God remains faithful to his promises. Each day explores how the gospel confronts us, forms us, and empowers us to live as witnesses of Jesus wherever God places us.
