It's no secret the Apostle Paul is an important person in the New Testament—and subsequent human history over the past 2,000 years. Jim McKnight joins Andrew and special guest Neil Cole to take a closer look at Paul's life and ministry. Neil gives insights into how the Lord shaped Paul's life and ministry through the experiences he had during his different missionary journeys, and highlights lessons that can benefit us today. What does it take to follow Jesus for a lifetime?


Neil is author of the new book Journeys – Discovering God’s Paths Of Spiritual Formation Building To A Strong Finish. It is a fresh, fascinating take on the book of Acts. If you are interested in making disciples, you will find this book helpful!


Neil Cole was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. While studying art at California State University, Long Beach, he encountered the good news of Jesus Christ and turned his life over to Him, never looking back. He has authored eighteen books (translated into fifteen languages) and traveled to over sixty nations, sowing the seeds of God’s Kingdom, assisting in the development of organic church movements, and coaching thousands of leaders and churches. Neil has been married for over forty years to his wife Dana. They have three adult children and six grandkids.
