S1, E23: In this episode, we dive into Acts 16, where Paul and Silas are led by the Spirit into a Roman colony - and end up in a jail cell. From Timothy’s calling to Lydia’s baptism, from demonic oppression to a midnight earthquake, this chapter is packed! But one detail stands out: Paul could have claimed his rights… and didn’t. What does this teach us about obedience, sacrifice, and discipleship?
