Join evangelist David J. Lewis in this powerful study of Acts chapters 13 and 14 as we retrace the steps of the Apostle Paul’s first major missionary tour. From the calling of the Holy Spirit in Antioch to a miraculous recovery from a brutal stoning in Lystra, this episode dives deep into the high stakes, supernatural interventions, and human challenges of the early Church.

Along the way, we explore timeless lessons on letting go of people's past mistakes, overcoming the desire for human praise, and learning to lean entirely on God's grace when the world turns against us.

Inside This Episode:


The Call at Antioch: The Holy Spirit sets apart Barnabas and Saul for the work ahead (Acts 13:1-3).


A New Name & First Convert: Saul becomes Paul during a spiritual showdown in Cyprus with Elymas the sorcerer (Acts 13:7-12).


Turning to the Gentiles: Facing envy and contradiction from his own brethren, Paul makes a monumental shift in his ministry strategy (Acts 13:45-52).


Misplaced Glory at Lystra: After healing a lifelong cripple, Paul and Barnabas must aggressively restrain the crowds from treating them like pagan gods (Acts 14:8-18).


Left for Dead, But Not Done: Stoned and dragged out of the city, Paul miraculously gets back up and walks right back into the fight (Acts 14:19-20).

Key Takeaway:"Just because someone does something different than we do doesn't make them wrong. And you know something? It doesn't make us right... We have to look at the whole diamond." — David J. Lewis
