n this week’s episode, Lee Rust invites listeners to witness one of the most remarkable turnarounds in all of Scripture: the moment Saul — a fierce persecutor of Christians — meets the living Jesus and is forever changed. With the warmth and wisdom that define her ministry, Lee explores how God’s Word interrupts our lives, redirects our steps, and leads us into true freedom.

Lee walks through the story with clarity and compassion, highlighting the dramatic moment Saul encountered Jesus, the obedience required of Ananias, and the encouragement offered by Barnabas. She shows how each of these unlikely characters played a vital role in God’s plan — and how their faith paved the way for Saul’s complete transformation into Paul, one of the greatest proclaimers of the Gospel.

You’ll learn:

• Why Saul’s encounter with Jesus stands as one of the most life-altering conversions in the New Testament
• How obedience — even when it feels risky or uncomfortable — opens the door to God’s miraculous work
• Why Ananias and Barnabas matter deeply in this story, and what their faith teaches us today
• How God’s Word still breaks chains, softens hearts, and sets people free in ways no human effort can
• What this passage reveals about hope, redemption, and the freedom available to anyone who turns toward Christ

If you’ve ever felt bound by your past, unsure of your purpose, or hungry for a fresh encounter with God’s transforming power, this episode will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith.

In this powerful episode, Lee Rust takes listeners deep into one of Scripture’s most gripping stories: the demon-possessed man living among the tombs in Luke 8. Drawing from years of ministering inside prisons, Lee unpacks what true spiritual bondage looks like — and how Jesus brings complete freedom even in the darkest, most hopeless places.

Lee walks through the passage slowly and thoughtfully, explaining the cultural context, the reality of demonic oppression, and the shocking transformation that took place the moment Jesus stepped onto the shore. She also shares real-life examples from her prison ministry, showing that spiritual warfare isn’t just a biblical account — it still happens today.

You’ll learn:

• Why this man’s encounter with Jesus is one of the most dramatic rescues in the New Testament
• What Scripture reveals about demons, spiritual torment, and the “abyss”
• Why Jesus sent the healed man back home instead of taking him along
• How God still brings freedom to those who feel trapped, overlooked, or consumed by darkness
• What Lee has witnessed firsthand inside prison walls — and how the Word of God transforms even the most tormented hearts

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, spiritually attacked, or unsure how to make sense of these deeper topics, this episode will strengthen your faith and open your eyes to the authority and compassion of Jesus.

Listen now and be reminded: no chain is too strong, no darkness too deep, and no place too far for the freedom Christ offers.
