Lydia and the Jailer
Description
Imagine, if you will, this scene from Acts: a tiny group of new believers, a wealthy lady who just might be funding the whole church, a jailer and his family who previously worshipped pagan gods, an out-of-work fortune teller, and a doctor who has a way with words. Is this the cast list from a Wes Anderson film, or could this be Paul’s ideal model for the Church? All of this and more awaits you in our most earth-shaking episode yet!
