Pastor Chuck Swindoll narrates the five trials Paul endured for defending his faith (Acts 21–23). Paul’s “straight thinking” not only saved his life on several different occasions but also provided peace and confidence as he proclaimed the truth.

Standing Tall as Paul Stood
Pastor Chuck Swindoll presents Paul’s final trial before Festus and King Agrippa in Acts 26. He stood tall by boldly proclaiming the truth of the Gospel.
