Follow The Money | Unstoppable | Talaat McNeely
50m | Aug 30, 2026A silversmith's profits are threatened by the gospel, so he starts a riot. What is money revealing about your idols?
Before the crowd in Ephesus ever shouted about worship, Demetrius the silversmith was already talking about profit. In this message from Acts 19:21-41, Pastor Talaat McNeely traces what happens when the gospel does not just change what a city believes, but changes what that city buys, builds, and protects. This one is for anyone building a business, a brand, or a dream, and wondering whether money or mission is really sitting in the driver's seat of their life.
In this episode, you will discover:
- Why the loudest reaction in Ephesus started as a threat to profit long before anyone mentioned worship
- How to spot when what looks like conviction is really just fear of losing what already works
- Why chasing every open opportunity is not the same as chasing what God actually assigned you
- The real story behind why Pastor Talaat and Prophetess Tai walked away from their company, His and Her Money, to plant Purpose City Church
- One simple question to ask when you cannot tell if money or mission is really driving you
This message walks through Acts 19:21-41 in the New Living Translation.
