Your Story Is More Powerful Than You Think | Acts 26 with Tyler Marston

You don’t need a theology degree to tell someone about Jesus. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply tell your story.

Steve is joined by his son Tyler Marston, creator of the free YouTube Bible commentary 1189, to unpack Acts 26 and Paul’s defense before King Agrippa.

Instead of merely presenting a philosophical argument, Paul tells Agrippa what happened to him—who he was before encountering Jesus, how Christ changed him, and why his life would never be the same.

Steve and Tyler discuss what Paul’s testimony can teach Christians about sharing their own faith. Your story may not include a Damascus Road experience, but what Jesus has done in your life still matters.

They also talk about questioning faith, the difference between destructive deconstruction and faithfully searching for truth, trusting God when you don’t know what comes next, and recognizing that Jesus remains in control even when circumstances seem uncertain.

Plus, Tyler previews the final chapters of Acts—including Paul’s dramatic shipwreck in Acts 27—and explains how 1189 is building a completely free, chapter-by-chapter video commentary of the Bible designed to help people better understand Scripture.
