·48 min·4 clips

How did Apostle Paul transform persecution into a global mission planting hope where there was pain?

The episode begins with a prayer invoking Apostle Paul's missionary work, emphasizing his renunciation and dedication. It then transitions to a reading from 'The Gospel According to Spiritism,' focusing on Jesus's instruction to preach initially only to Jews, not Gentiles, to prepare the ground for faith. The main theme is introduced: the missionary journeys of Apostle Paul, starting with his conversion on the road to Damascus. Paul's strategy involved visiting synagogues first but primarily targeting Gentiles, traveling to urban centers like Greece, Asia Minor, Rome, and Spain. His first journey with Barnabas and John Marcus is detailed, including stops in Cyprus, Paphos where they confronted the magician Elimas, and Antioch of Pisidia where persecution arose. The episode describes the Council of Jerusalem in 49 AD, which resolved that Gentile converts need not follow Mosaic Law. Paul's second journey with Silas and Timothy is covered, highlighting events in Philippi where he freed a divination medium, leading to imprisonment and an earthquake miracle. His preaching in Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens is discussed, noting limited success among Athenian intellectuals. The third journey from 53-58 AD includes work in Ephesus, where a riot over the Temple of Artemis forced his departure, and his eventual arrest in Jerusalem. Paul's final journey to Rome, shipwreck, and imprisonment are outlined, along with his possible mission to Spain. The episode shifts to a listener question about belief in the afterlife, answered with Spiritist doctrine from Allan Kardec, explaining how Spiritism completes Jesus's teachings by proving the afterlife as a material reality. It concludes with poetry praising Paul's legacy and promotional content for the radio station and its book club.
