Summary

What happens when the church's greatest enemy becomes its boldest witness? In this episode, we trace the powerful journey of Saul's radical conversion on the road to Damascus and Barnabas's crucial role in his transformation from feared persecutor to trusted partner in ministry. While others hesitated, Barnabas saw God's hand on Paul's life, stood in the gap for him in Jerusalem, and later sought him out in Tarsus to join the mission in Antioch. This is a story of redemption, risk, and the kind of encouragement that can change someone's life.
