VK: Hello! I’m Victoria K. Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. We’re excited to be with you today as we begin a new series on Anchored by Truth. So, to announce the series and tell us why we are doing it, we have RD Fierro back in the studio. RD is an author and the founder of Crystal Sea Books. RD, you’ve entitled this series “Paul’s Places.” By “Paul” I’m sure you’re referring to the Apostle Paul not the last name of lady who produces frozen fish products. The Apostle Paul, of course, started out life named “Saul.” But sometime after Saul’s conversion on the road to Damascus, Luke tells us in Acts, chapter 13, verse 9, that “Saul” was also called “Paul.” So, RD, maybe the first thing we should tackle is this rather-famous name change.

RD: Well, before I comment on that I would like to add to your thanks to the listeners for tuning in today – whether they’re listening on the broadcast or podcast. We’re grateful for anyone who devotes part of their day or week with us. And since we are going to be spending a lot of time in this series talking about names perhaps it is appropriate to spend just a minute talking about one of – as you put it – the most famous name changes in the Bible. The Apostle Paul started out life with the name Saul and all of the initial references to Paul in the book of Acts use the name “Saul.” Chapter 13 in Acts is the first time we hear him called Paul and thereafter in Acts only the name Paul is used for the Apostle.
