Season 13, Episode 2: Stephen
This week on Faith Adjacent we zero in on Stephen, the eloquent martyr who just might inspire you to quit your day job and become a missionary. In a time of division and hostility (sound familiar?), this man presents a masterclass in responding to a rebuke. Join us as we unpack the intricacies of stoning, deep-dive angels, and explore some truly unique relics in this rockin’ new episode.
