In this episode of Community Spotlight on The Light FM, Braxton sits down with Pastor Steven Buys of The Orchard Church to explore the real-world impact of Acts of Summer — a movement encouraging believers to live like the early Church. Pastor Steven shares inspiring testimonies of transformed lives in Western North Carolina, including a powerful story of a bank teller whose encounter with a churchgoer led him to Christ.
The heart of the Orchard Church is “to be the church to the community,” a mission that fuels their outreach, including a bold new church plant in West Asheville. Pastor Steven details how this initiative, born from a legacy of church revitalization, is set to empower a fresh, independent congregation. He also shares about his book The Doorway of Prayer, written to help believers move from a “prayer life” to a life of prayer.
This episode is a compelling call to bold faith, everyday evangelism, and the power of sharing your story. Whether you’re walking into a bank or planting a church, God moves when we step out in obedience.
