Episode notes

Paul was brought to the palace of hearing with all the chief captains and principal men of the city at Festus's commandment. He comes out all eyes on him and Festus says, King of gripper and all men here present with us. Paul is just cheerful. Talk about be of good cheer. And then he tells his life story again. This is similar back to chapter 22, but I'm from my own nation, Jerusalem. I'm known of all the Jews. Those who know me would testify that I came from the straightest strict of our religion. We'll hit on some highlights.

How do we continue to share the gospel with “good cheer” amidst opposition? Dr. Scott Woodward explores the opposition facing Paul as he takes the gospel to the known world.
