Hello and welcome to this episode of The Bible Project daily Podcast Today, we dive into Acts 20:17-38, exploring "Paul's Message to Leaders and Beyond." While the passage focuses on church leaders, its lessons apply to all of us. Paul, one of history’s most successful Christian leaders, offers wisdom on leadership and Christian living that is both profound and practical.

Through humility, compassion, and perseverance, Paul’s life exemplifies faithful service to God and others. Whether you're leading in a church, a community, or your own home, these principles are indispensable. Join us as we unpack Paul’s heartfelt address to the Ephesian elders and discover how his insights can transform your faith journey.
