## Resource

In Acts 17, the early Christians were accused of “turning the world upside down.” Why? Because they preached a message Rome could not tolerate: there is another King—Jesus. This wasn’t private spirituality. It was a public declaration that challenged the authority of Caesar himself. That’s why mobs formed. That’s why rulers panicked. That’s why the charge was treason. In this episode, Mike D’Virgilio breaks down what Acts 17 really means—and why the same message still disrupts the world today. The gospel doesn’t just change hearts. It confronts kingdoms.
