Witness the beginning of Saul's journey as he grapples with the radical faith of Stephen and the unsettling joy of Jesus' followers, igniting a conflict that will change the course of his life.

In this episode of The Jesus Podcast, Saul is summoned by the Sanhedrin to help suppress the rapidly growing movement of Jesus’ followers, but his encounter with Stephen challenges his beliefs and reveals the power of humble service. Saul's rising disdain for the People of The Way contrasts sharply with Stephen’s grace and generosity, setting the stage for a transformative confrontation.

Today's Bible verse is Matthew 20:26, from the King James Version.
