In this episode, I walk through Paul’s Second Missionary Journey and explore how God advances the gospel through closed doors, unexpected people, and Spirit-led redirection. From Timothy joining the mission, to a vision that carries the gospel into Europe, to quiet conversions by a riverbank and worship in a prison at midnight, this journey shows us that God’s plans are often bigger, and stranger, than anything we would design ourselves. Along the way, we encounter Lydia, the Philippian jailer, skeptical philosophers in Athens, and faithful believers who shape the future of the church in ways that rarely make headlines.
This episode is an invitation to trust God when clarity is lacking and obedience feels costly. As I trace the gospel’s movement through Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, and Corinth, I reflect on how God still works today, using ordinary people, uncomfortable interruptions, and unseen faithfulness to accomplish His purposes. If you’ve ever wondered whether closed doors mean failure or if God can really use your small, faithful steps, this episode will encourage you to walk by faith and trust the Spirit’s leading.
