Description

Do you know anyone who seems like the least likely person to ever turn and follow Jesus? You look at them and think, "There's just no way..." Maybe the person you think of as the least likely Jesus follower is you. Well, today we're looking at a story from the Bible about a man who never, ever thought he would follow Jesus. And the people around him agreed. He was the least likely person to ever give his life to Jesus, because he was obsessed with destroying the lives of Christians, and wiping out the story of Jesus for good. And yet, all of that changed over a three day period in a house on Straight Street. 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 is part 2 of a conversation with Ann Swindell, which is part of my Summer Standout series.

As western thinkers, we're far more accustomed to considering abstract ideas, and listening to propositions and arguments. But But the stories of the Bible communicate rich theological truths, and they do so in a way that is less abstract and so easier for us to remember and refer back to.
