Episode 39 - Paul Gets Arrested And Still Outworks Us

We trace Paul’s move from open-road missionary to “ambassador in chains” and challenge ourselves to serve when plans change. Clarity, contentment, and obedience shape a life that still bears fruit inside setbacks, with honest talk about boundaries, unity, and humility.

• Paul’s arrest in Acts 21–22 reframes mission
• Contentment as strategy under pressure
• Calling versus changing assignments
• God’s timing and unexpected routes to impact
• Boundaries that love without enabling harm
• Church unity through humility and confession
• We are not Paul, and honesty helps growth
• Practical discipleship from constrained places

If you're in Rockdale on Sunday, we are at the American Legion Hall. We have coffee, donuts, and fellowship at 10, followed by service at 11. We have a children's church and we have a nursery, and we look forward to seeing you
