In this episode we'll talk about Acts 6-9. We'll focus on the story of Saul. Saul was a hater and persecutor of believers of Jesus Christ, causing damage and destruction to the church as a whole and to individual lives of members. Eventually he is visited by Jesus Christ who rebukes him and commands him to repent. Saul heeds the call and is eventually healed by Ananias, a faithful disciple. The story of Saul invites introspection to the idea of forgiveness. Did he deserve forgiveness? How would others react to his changed ways? We'll discuss the commandment to forgive and review how forgiveness can improve our spirituality and increase our mental and emotional health.
