I need to harness my inner Paul! This guy was so flexible, not in his message but in his approach. He just has this passion to tell people about Jesus and does whatever he needs to make it happen. Most of the time we see him enter a city, head to the synagogue, share how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Jewish faith, see people start to follow Jesus and get run out of town by people who don’t like him or his message…then he goes to the next town. Don’t get me wrong, there is so much we can learn from each of the cities he visits and the messages he shares…however, in Athens I feel like we are encountering more of an “America in 2025” culture. America in 1960 may have connected more with Paul’s preaching in the synagogues, where people had an understanding of God and the bible and the job was more of building off a common biblical foundation. Now in 2025 American culture is more of what we see in Athens in 49AD.
