Get ready to be stopped in your tracks and let those scales fall from your eyes as we unpack Paul’s Damascus Road experience in this latest episode of Faith Adjacent. Join us as we explore how to balance tradition with reconsideration, what it looks like to ask God quality follow-up questions, and why Damascus is considered by some to be the TikTok of the Bible. Saddle up your horse (you’ll understand this later…) and get ready to see the light as we journey down the path of one of the most famous stories in the Bible.
