What happens in this episode? We meet a man as he stands holding the coats of men who are stoning the first Christian martyr to death He actively pursues and persecutes anyone who follows after Jesus Then, he meets Jesus in an amazing way Having met Jesus, he turns his life around – from persecution to proclamation He meets his own persecution because of his life change This persecution results in his death at the hands of Emperor Nero I reveal this man’s identity at the end of the episode Scriptures found in this episode: Philippians 3:5 Acts 22:3 Acts 26:5 Acts 26:9 Acts 7:58 Galatians 1:13-14 Philippians 3:6 This story of our man’s encounter with Jesus is told in three instances in the book of Acts; Acts 9, 22, 26.
