How can Christians reach people who reject God's word? If America is post-Christian, or even anti-Christian, how might Christians persuade others that God's best is best for them? Dr. Jim Denison answers this question by looking at a notable event from the life of Paul as recounted in Acts 17:22–23.

Paul's speech and actions provide an example for Christians on how just one person (by God's grace and with God's help) can change the world by speaking the truth in love to those who don't know about God or have a relationship with him.

That story is why March 25, the day on which this episode was recorded, was once considered New Year's Day and is now celebrated as Annunciation Day in many Christian traditions.
