The Prodigal's Purpose

St. Paul: Persecutor to Preacher


Listen Later

He was a man feared by Christians everywhere. A persecutor. A murderer. A name that brought dread. And yet—on one unexpected road to Damascus—everything changed.

In this episode of The Prodigal’s Purpose, we step into the story of Saul, who became Paul: from enemy of the faith to one of its boldest voices. His dramatic encounter with Christ didn’t just stop at conversion—it set him on a lifelong mission to live it out, no matter the cost. Shipwrecks, prison cells, beatings, betrayals… and still, Paul pressed on with joy.

But here’s the real question: what about us? If we’ve encountered Christ—even in smaller, quieter ways—how are we letting that encounter reshape our lives? Does our “yes” look different in our daily choices, our habits, our relationships? Or have we settled into comfort while forgetting the call to live the conversion we claim?

In this episode, we look at Paul’s story not as distant history, but as an invitation. An invitation to let our faith be seen, to be transformed from the inside out, and to live with the same bold conviction that turned a persecutor into a preacher.
