Fall asleep to the complete, unsparing story of the Apostle Paul.
He wrote half the New Testament from a dungeon. He survived five floggings, three shipwrecks, a stoning, and a snake bite. And Rome still had to execute him to get him to stop talking. The life of Paul is one of the strangest, most brutal, most consequential stories in all of history — and almost nobody knows the full version.

📖 IN THIS EPISODE
In this documentary-style exploration, we cover:
- The young Saul of Tarsus — the zealot who hunted early Christians with official authority
- The Road to Damascus — the blinding vision that upended everything he believed
- Three decades of missionary journeys across the Roman Empire — and the beatings, shipwrecks, and riots that came with them
- His arrest in Jerusalem, the long imprisonment in Caesarea, and his appeal to Caesar
- The Mamertine Prison — where the New Testament's most powerful letters were written by lamplight in a Roman dungeon
- His execution under Nero — and why the sword didn't work
Paul's life is not an inspiration poster. It is a long, physical, costly story about what it looks like when someone refuses to stop.
Perfect for falling asleep, relaxation, study, or anyone curious about early Christianity, ancient Rome, and the people who changed history from very uncomfortable places.
