S4 Ep129: Barnabas Recruits Saul

About this episode

Nick discusses how God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways, focusing on Barnabas and Saul's journey.

Ever wondered why God seems to use ordinary people in extraordinary ways? Nick reveals how Paul spent about 11 years faithfully ministering in obscurity before Barnabas arrived with a life-changing invitation to step up. Sometimes God prepares us quietly before calling us to something bigger—like the believers in Antioch who sacrificially gave to help strangers 300 miles away in Jerusalem. Their generosity and Paul's readiness created a launching pad for world-changing ministry. Ready to discover your kingdom purpose? Don't stay comfortable in your "hometown" when God might be knocking—tune in and step into what He's prepared for you!
