Little Book Big Message: Philemon


Listen Later

In this episode, Ben and Spencer discuss the book of Philemon, which is a letter written by Paul to Philemon, a wealthy man who owned slaves.

The letter is about a slave named Onesimus who ran away from Philemon and found Paul while he was in prison.
