The Conversion of Saul: From Persecutor to Apostle || Acts 9 with Trulan Martin

The Conversion of Saul: From Persecutor to Apostle || Acts 9 with Trulan Martin

As we continue our study in Acts, a new influential figure emerges: Saul, later known as Paul. In this episode, Trulan Martin and host Anthony walk us through the remarkable event of Saul's conversion. Once a persecutor of the church, Saul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus. He went from hunting down Followers of the Way to becoming a pivotal voice in proclaiming Jesus as the Son of God. Together, we explore what it means to "call on the name of the Lord" and why God called Saul home to wait nearly a decade before his ministry to the Gentiles could begin. Along the way, we reflect on how God’s timing is perfect, even when it requires seasons of waiting.

Jesus Breaks Down Walls of Separation || Acts 8 with Trulan Martin

How does the Gospel break down walls? Joined by guest Trulan Martin, we begin Part 2 of Acts, looking at Acts 8. We see how the persecution led by Saul scattered the early church and propelled the gospel beyond Jerusalem. They follow Philip the evangelist as he preaches the Gospel in Samaria and to an Ethiopian official. Along the way, we dig into the history of the Samaritans, examine the strange account of Simon the Sorcerer, and see how God strategically used Peter and John in Samaria to tear down centuries of hostility between two people groups. This episode helps us reflect on the walls we put up in our lives and how the Gospel breaks those divisions down.

Are You Repeating Generational Sin? || Acts 7 with Anthony High

Why was Stephen rejected and stoned? In this episode, Anthony High steps into the role of Bible teacher, switching seats with Arlin, who hosts the conversation. They examine Acts 7, which shows the life of Stephen, the first Christian martyr. He was rejected for boldly proclaiming the truth before the Sanhedrin. In his speech, Stephen confronts the sins of the culture and exposes patterns of rebellion throughout Israel’s history. Though the Sanhedrin were “cut to the heart,” they chose to reject the message, harden their hearts, and stone him. This episode reveals how ignoring truth can be detrimental to our spiritual lives, and challenges listeners to consider whether they will recognize and respond to God’s voice or resist Him.

From the sobering account of Ananias and Sapphira to the apostles’ bold stand before the council, this conversation wrestles with what it really means to “obey God rather than men,” while highlighting the marks of a healthy, Spirit-led church and key insights for everyday faith.
