Episode 79, Paul Had Critics, You Will Too (Maybe Even a President)

In this episode, Brother Byron digs deeper into a point briefly made during his recent sermon from Romans 2:12–16: the Apostle Paul had no shortage of critics—and neither will you if you stand for truth. From legalists in the early church to pagan philosophers, from hostile Jewish leaders to rival Christian teachers, Paul faced relentless opposition. Brother Byron walks through four groups that criticized Paul in his lifetime, four historical figures—including Nietzsche, Tolstoy, Shaw, and Jefferson—who rejected his teachings, and four modern movements that still push back against his message. If you’ve ever been targeted for preaching the Gospel, take heart—you’re in good company.
