The story of St. Paul in the Bible in Acts chapter 9 might be one of the most unexpected
0:18
transformations in history. Before he was St. Paul, he was Saul, a man convinced he was right
0:27
a Jewish academic, confident in his path, determined to shut down this early Jesus movement
0:35
He wasn't searching for God, he wasn't interested in a new direction, he was simply living out what
0:42
he passionately believed was true, passionately and forcefully. And yet change found him
0:50
Sometimes life interrupts us when we least expect it. Saul was traveling with a mission when a
0:56
bright light stopped in his tracks and blinded him We may not experience a light from the sky but life has a way of bringing moments that interrupt us questions we can shake encounters that unsettle us
1:12
or experiences that make us think, maybe there's more, maybe I haven't understood everything yet
1:20
maybe I'm not right. These moments aren't always comfortable, but they can be invitations
1:26
Transformation in our lives often begins with a simple question. Saul's first response wasn't a grand speech, it was a humble question
1:37
Who are you Lord? Sometimes the starting point of change is simply being open to the possibility that God is real, present and willing to meet us
1:48
You don't need all the answers, you just need the courage to ask an honest question
