Season 5 - Episode 4: Lydia – The Working Woman
Synopsis: The central theme of this episode is to convince you, the listeners that Ordinary Christians Do Matter. As we read in this chapter, ordinary people in fact have for more impact for Christ than they realize. As humans, we seek prestige and fame and often lose sight of our purpose as Christians. It can be depressing to hear what a person would do today to look or feel attractive. We have to remember that we are accepted for who we are, as we are and we are made in the image of Christ for a purpose. If we can remain in Christ and seek our purpose from him, then we too can be as effective as Lydia. Tune into this teaching segment as we learn how Silas fit the role of Sidekick to the Apostle Paul.
