Fall Asleep to the Apostle Paul | The Man Rome Couldn't Silence

from Scripture for Sleep

Fall asleep to the complete, unsparing story of the Apostle Paul.He wrote half the New Testament from a dungeon. He survived five floggings, three shipwrecks, a stoning, and a snake bite. And Rome still had to execute him to get him to stop talking. The life of Paul is one of the strangest, most brutal, most consequential stories in all of history — and almost nobody knows the full version.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 - Introduction: The Man Rome Couldn't Silence10:44 - Saul of Tarsus: The Zealot You'd Cross the Street to Avoid38:11 - The Road to Damascus: When Everything You Believed Collapsed01:08:57 - The Missionary Years: Thirty Years of Shipwrecks, Beatings & Bad Hospitality01:43:27 - The Arrest in Jerusalem: When Your Own People Turn on You02:18:54 - The Roman Dungeon: His Final Address on Earth02:50:53 - The Execution: How Rome Killed Its Citizens03:15:12 - Reflection: What Stays With You03:24:26 - The Letters That Outlasted Empires📖 IN THIS EPISODEIn this documentary-style exploration, we cover:- The young Saul of Tarsus — the zealot who hunted early Christians with official authority- The Road to Damascus — the blinding vision that upended everything he believed- Three decades of missionary journeys across the Roman Empire — and the beatings, shipwrecks, and riots that came with them- His arrest in Jerusalem, the long imprisonment in Caesarea, and his appeal to Caesar- The Mamertine Prison — where the New Testament's most powerful letters were written by lamplight in a Roman dungeon- His execution under Nero — and why the sword didn't workPaul's life is not an inspiration poster.
