Episode notes

Casey Griffiths: I love the metaphor that all of us will have a road to Damascus experience perhaps. In preparation for this, I was listening to Michael Ballom talking about Paul at a CES symposium. He got up to sing some classic and he had this spirit say, no, go sing the Lord's prayer. And you can just imagine this the way that would echo and resonate in that huge theater and Ephesus. Elder Ufturf gave a talk back in 2011 called Waiting on the Road to Damascus. It says, one of the most remarkable events in the history of the world happened on the road to Damascus.

Dr. Casey Griffiths continues to explore the Book of Acts and the power of the Holy Ghost in the lives of the disciples of Jesus Christ.
