Episode notes

The first person that they encounter will then be Timothy, whose mother is Jewish and his father then is Greek. The big question is, what do we do with Timothy? He's trusted. He's a friend. And yet for Paul on his ministries going out, he always seems to hit first the synagogues. So before he does so and you wonder tradition on not to offend the Jewish people, Paul will actually circumcise then Timothy and off they go. But at night, Paul sees a man of Macedonia, like a Greek standing and begging him to go to Macedonia to help the people there.

How do we stay humble as well as be bold when proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ? Dr. Susan Easton Black examines the four missions of Paul and how the Spirit aids in the growth of the Church.
