In this week’s episode of Built for Durango, Bob is joined by Pastor Brian Firle for his first appearance on the podcast following his second message in our new series on the Book of Acts.

But Brian isn’t calling it Acts of the Apostles. He’s calling it Acts of the Spirit—and that shift changes everything.

While Acts is often remembered for its miracles, bold preaching, and explosive church growth, Brian challenges listeners to look deeper. The real driver of the early church wasn’t human courage or strategy — it was the Holy Spirit. From the resurrection of Jesus to Pentecost and beyond, Scripture makes clear that the Spirit is the animating force behind every movement of faith.

Together, Bob and Brian unpack why this matters for us today. They explore the tension between information and transformation, Western intellectual skepticism toward the supernatural, and the hunger beneath it all for a God who is personal, relational, and near. Brian explains that the Spirit is not a fringe doctrine or mystical add-on, but the consistent way God has always worked—through power, presence, and relationship.

The conversation moves from theology to imagination. If God truly delights in being with His people — if the Spirit is still active — what could that mean for Durango? For our church? For our families, workplaces, and daily lives?

This episode invites listeners to recover a childlike openness to the Spirit’s movement. Not naïveté, but curiosity. Not hype, but hope. Because if Acts tells us anything, it’s...

When the Spirit moves, everything changes.
