Why its Hard to Believe God (and how to strengthen your faith) | Season 8 Ep 8

Send Comments, Questions, ThoughtsThe Damascus road encounter that transformed Saul from Christianity's fiercest opponent into its greatest champion reveals profound truths about belief, divine intervention, and spiritual transformation that resonate with us today.When we meet Saul in Acts 9, he's breathing murderous threats against Christians, so passionate about his Jewish faith that he's willing to imprison anyone following "the Way." Armed with letters from religious authorities, he embarks on a mission to Damascus to arrest believers. Then something extraordinary happens – Jesus himself interrupts Saul's journey with a blinding light and a piercing question: "Why are you persecuting me?"What makes this story particularly remarkable is how God transforms Saul's passionate personality rather than erasing it. The same fervor once directed against Christians becomes redirected toward spreading the gospel. Within days of regaining his sight, Saul is proclaiming Jesus as the Son of God in the very synagogues where he planned to make arrests.This narrative challenges us to examine our own encounters with divine truth. Have we, like Saul, allowed God's revelation to fundamentally redirect our lives? Or have we experienced God's intervention yet hesitated to fully embrace its implications? The choice remains: believe it or not.God has something greater awaiting each of us – "the real you, the designed you, the purposed you" – if we'll only have the courage to see with new eyes. Join us for this season finale as we explore how encountering Jesus transforms everything.
