The Life of Paul: From Persecutor to Apostle

Episode 2.41

Who was the man behind half the New Testament? In this episode of Take 2 Theology, Zach and Michael trace the incredible story of Saul of Tarsus—devout Pharisee, relentless persecutor of Christians—who became Paul the Apostle, tireless church planter and theologian of grace.

Covered in this episode:

– Paul’s Jewish and Roman background

– What it meant to be a Pharisee

– His Damascus Road conversion

– The meaning behind “Saul to Paul”

– Overview of his 13 letters and major themes

– The thorn in the flesh and possible singleness

– His missionary journeys and eventual martyrdom

– Why Paul still matters for the church today

Paul’s life proves that no one is too far gone, and no training—no matter how misguided—goes to waste in the hands of a redeeming God.
