About this episode

In this episode, Christine Caine draws wisdom from the life of the Apostle Paul as he delivers his farewell address in Acts 20. Paul’s unwavering passion to finish his race and fulfill his purpose in Christ—despite persecution, hardship, and uncertainty—is a compelling call for every believer. Christine reminds us that there is no age, stage, or circumstance that excuses us from obedience to God’s call. The wisdom to live well isn't just about knowledge—it's about surrender, perseverance, and keeping our eyes on eternity. This episode will challenge you to recommit to your purpose and finish strong, no matter what it costs.
