385- Thorn in the Flesh?

“Are you familiar with saying: “A thorn in the flesh?” How well do you understand this idea?

In today’s podcast and post I am going to give you not only the backstory behind Paul’s famous trope, but I will unpack its theological implications and why it’s important for those being liberated from religious overreach.

Join me now as we discover that the thorn is not an object, but a subject dispatched by love to keep us close to God.
