In this Tree Church Bible Study, Pastors Stacey Crawford, Mary Johnson, and Chris Reed continue the conversation through Acts 26 as Paul gives his defense before King Agrippa. The episode focuses on how Paul uses his past as a Pharisee and persecutor of Christians to explain that his faith in Jesus is the fulfillment of Jewish hope, centered on the resurrection.

The pastors discuss why Paul’s testimony mattered in this moment and how God redeemed his past to encourage others. The conversation highlights that no one is too far gone for God’s grace and that personal struggles and failures do not disqualify someone from being used by God. Instead, identity in Christ brings freedom from shame and a new way of living through the Holy Spirit.

This episode encourages listeners to see their past through the lens of redemption and to trust that God can use every part of their story for His purposes.
