Has God been putting up roadblocks in your path?  Has he been making it impossible for you to "proceed with the route" you had in mind for your life? This can be really frustrating—especially when your plans revolved around pleasing God. Maybe you're feeling disillusioned or even angry—wondering what God is trying to do here. If so, I think today's conversation is going to be incredibly helpful to you. We're looking at a Bible story where a man was utterly convinced that he was headed out to please God. He was on an upward trajectory, and was gaining momentum and honor. And yet Jesus stopped him in his tracks, and rerouted him to a life filled with so much more. Ann SwindellGuest: Ann SwindellBible Passage: Acts 9:1-9 ESVGet your Freebie: The Live Like It's True WorkbookMentioned Resources: Path to Peace by Ann Swindell.Season 2 of Live Like It's True: The True Story of EasterEpisode: The True Story of the Arrest with Lindsay Schott Episode: The True Story of the Empty Tomb with Erika VanHaitsma Music: Cade Popkin Music Summer Standout SeriesToday we're kicking off my Summer Standout series.
