About this episode

Are you open to more of the Lord—or have you quietly started living like you’ve already arrived? In this Deep Dive Bible Study, Pastor Tim Hatch walks verse-by-verse through Acts 18–19 and shows why many professing Christians still feel empty, fearful, and powerless—not because Jesus isn’t enough, but because they’re

not living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. You’ll meet Apollos: eloquent, passionate, accurate in Scripture—yet still missing something. You’ll also see what happens when Paul arrives in Ephesus and asks a shocking question to “disciples” who believed: “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” This episode tackles the difference between John’s baptism of repentance and Jesus’ baptism in the Holy Spirit, the danger of being “only a follower,” why discernment matters, and why spiritual power is not optional when spiritual darkness is real. Key themes from Acts 18–19: Be open to more of God and more truth from Scripture Discerning teaching and weighing what is said Repentance vs Holy Spirit empowerment Why “just following Jesus” is not biblical Christianity The fullness of the Holy Spirit and courage over fear Ephesus, the occult, spiritual warfare, and the name of Jesus Extraordinary miracles and the spread of the gospel If you’ve ever felt spiritually stuck, empty, or easily shaken by fear—this teaching will call you higher: ask for more of the Lord, seek the Spirit’s filling, and live with power, clarity, and boldness.
