About this Episode

What does it look like to stay on mission when the road gets hard?

In this message, Brian Ross traces the journey of the Apostle Paul — from zealous persecutor to faithful witness — and asks what made him effective. Using Paul's account in Acts 22 and the sweeping arc of his ministry through Acts 27-28, Brian shows that mission begins when you live into the reality of Jesus as Lord, pursue what is good, and channel that goodness to the people around you.

Paul's road to Rome ran through shipwrecks, assassination plots, and prison cells. He kept going anyway. His story is an invitation to do the same.

In this message:

  • What drove Paul before his encounter with Jesus
  • How the Damascus road experience reoriented everything
  • What mission looks like in ordinary, everyday life
  • Why opposition is a normal part of a life on mission
