Saul of Tarsus

Heather Crespin
About this episode

In recognition of the New Year, I wanted to tell a story about new beginnings. This is the story of one of the most powerful transformations in the Bible. Saul of Tarsus was born somewhere between 5 BC and 5 AD. He walked this earth the same time as Jesus, but never met him in person, and went on to become a well-known Pharisee. He mercilessly persecuted followers of Jesus, until a dramatic confrontation with God changed his life forever.We are reading Acts 8 and 9.
