Questions Covered in This Episode:

Right off the bat in Acts 16 we encounter a friend and co-worker of Paul who will factor in heavily to his future ministry from here on in: Timothy. What does he share in common with Paul?
What should we make of Acts 16:7 - “...but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them…?”
So, women are gathering to pray on the Sabbath and they meet a woman named Lydia. Why are they down by the river?
Why does Luke mention she is a seller of purple goods?
Household baptisms? What are they?
Wait, Paul gets annoyed? Isn’t he an apostle?
