73. Saul of Tarsus | The Man Before Christ

Before he became a bold missionary or a martyr for the gospel, Saul of Tarsus was a man driven by zeal, pride, and religious fury. In this opening episode of our summer series, Murderer, Missionary, Martyr, we go back to the beginning—to the man Paul was before he met Jesus.

Who was Saul? What shaped him? And how could someone so radically opposed to Christ become His most devoted ambassador?

This episode explores the intensity of Saul’s upbringing, his ruthless reputation, and the deep convictions that made him feared by the early church. But it also sets the stage for the kind of transformation only God can orchestrate.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God can really change a life—this is where that story begins.
