What do an ancient Egyptian king and the Apostle Paul have in common? More than you might think. In this episode, Mary and Jay kick off a new summer series, a character study of people in Scripture, starting with two men who lived 1,500 years apart but shared the same driven, take-charge personality style.

Pharaoh and Paul were both bold, task-focused, never-give-up leaders who were not afraid to oppose anyone who got in their way. But one's life ended in tragedy, and the other's ended in transformation. So what made the difference?

Jay and Mary walk through their shared strengths, their shared struggles, and the moment when confidence tips over into control, when drive becomes destruction, and when "I did it my way" starts working against you. They also talk about how God uniquely got Paul's attention on the road to Damascus, and the surprising marker of Paul's transformation at the end of his life.

Whether you are a driven, take-charge personality or you know someone who is, this episode will help you see both the power and the danger of that wiring, and what it looks like when it gets fully surrendered to God.
