Jan 1, 2026 10:11 PM

Today on the PowerBlog, we’re continuing our Radio Free Acton series featuring people who have attended Acton University and their experiences. As we close in on the deadline for registration for AU 2014, we hope that as you hear from people who have been impacted by the experience of Acton University, you’ll considerregistering for AU 2014and making the experience your own this year.

Today’s podcast features Father Hans Jacobse, an Orthodox priest and the founder of the American Orthodox Institute, who describes how he discovered Acton and came to be a participant at Acton University over the course of the last few years. He describes how the experience of Acton University gives him an opportunity to interact with people who are creatively engaged with culture all over the world – a “creative explosion,” as he calls it – and explains why those four days are so inspiring for him.

Have a listen via the audio player below, and be sure to check out this year’s course lineup for Acton University. Hope to see you there!

Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Mark 13:5-13   (Read Mark 13:5-13)   Our Lord Jesus, in reply to the disciples' question, does not so much satisfy their curiosity as direct their consciences. When many are deceived, we should thereby be awakened to look to ourselves. And the disciples of Christ, if it be not their own fault, may enjoy holy security...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on John 6:28-35   (Read John 6:28-35)   Constant exercise of faith in Christ, is the most important and difficult part of the obedience required from us, as sinners seeking salvation.

  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5   (Read 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5)   Those who are far apart still may meet together at the throne of grace; and those not able to do or receive any other kindness, may in this way do and receive real and very great kindness.

Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Jonah 2:1-9   (Read Jonah 2:1-9)   Observe when Jonah prayed. When he was in trouble, under the tokens of God's displeasure against him for sin: when we are in affliction we must pray. Being kept alive by miracle, he prayed. A sense of God's good-will to us, notwithstanding our offences, opens the lips in prayer,...
Verse of the Day
  Matthew 6:5-6 In-Context   3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,   4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.   5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love...
Verse of the Day
  1 Corinthians 15:57 In-Context   55 Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?Hosea 13:14   56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.   57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.   58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on 2 Corinthians 3:12-18   (Read 2 Corinthians 3:12-18)   It is the duty of the ministers of the gospel to use great plainness, or clearness, of speech. The Old Testament believers had only cloudy and passing glimpses of that glorious Saviour, and unbelievers looked no further than to the outward institution. But the great precepts of...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Luke 6:1-5   (Read Luke 6:1-5)   Christ justifies his disciples in a work of necessity for themselves on the sabbath day, and that was plucking the ears of corn when they were hungry. But we must take heed that we mistake not this liberty for leave to commit sin. Christ will have us to know...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on James 3:13-18   (Read James 3:13-18)   These verses show the difference between men's pretending to be wise, and their being really so. He who thinks well, or he who talks well, is not wise in the sense of the Scripture, if he does not live and act well. True wisdom may be know by the...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Daniel 6:1-5   (Read Daniel 6:1-5)   We notice to the glory of God, that though Daniel was now very old, yet he was able for business, and had continued faithful to his religion. It is for the glory of God, when those who profess religion, conduct themselves so that their most watchful enemies may find...
