Have you ever felt like life was throwing wave after wave at you, leaving you drifting and alone? In this powerful message from Acts 9, we explore Saul’s turbulent start after his conversion—and how God surrounded him with the right people to support his calling. You’ll see how your past doesn’t disqualify you, your weaknesses don’t define you, and community is God’s design for your strength. Everyone needs a Barnabas. And everyone can be one.
