  <itunes:subtitle>God doesn’t lose. But too often, we act as if we can win without Him. This episode unpacks Acts 12 and the tension between Herod’s pride and Peter’s trust. Whether you’re in a season of resistance or surrender, this is a reminder of who’s really in charge.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Don’t Fight God! | His Word, His Plan, His People
Through the story of Peter’s escape from prison and Herod’s collapse, we’re reminded that fighting God always ends in loss—but trusting Him leads to freedom. If you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure, lean into this message and let God lead.
Key Insights: 
* Fighting God only leads to loss—even if it feels like you’re winning in the moment.
* God’s power can release you from any physical, emotional, or spiritual bondage.
* Earnest, persistent prayer activates God’s movement in ways we often underestimate.
* There is peace available in the storm when you truly trust God to lead.
* You can’t glorify yourself and expect God to bless it—His glory is non-negotiable.
Key Scripture: Acts 12:1 (https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.12.ESV)
Speaker: Matt Petty
Series: His Word, His Plan, His People
Location: Burnt Hickory Baptist Church (https://maps.app.goo.gl/hazkR3omjk9xvxZc7)
