__ __ In this podcast, Pastor John Nuzzo delves into a new season he believes is coming into the Body of Christ. He believes we are in a season to help the next generation to be prepared to build the Church and to hear God’s voice. In Acts 18, Aquila and Priscilla took Apollo aside and explained to him, “the way of God more accurately.” They nurtured him, and ultimately, released him into his calling. They to invite someone into their lives to create an environment for Apollos to grow spiritually. Small groups are a mechanism for us to invite people into our lives whom we can nurture. It’s the responsibility of every believer to find his or her Apollos and nurture him or her. This is God’s method of multiplication: sheep nurturing sheep. When you release your Apollos into his or her purpose, you multiply the Kingdom of God. Take action steps today. Intentionally invite someone into your life to nurture and find someone to be Aquila or Priscilla in your life. There’s always a place for someone to fill the gaps in your faith and explain the way of God more accurately.
