Have you ever dismissed an encounter as random, only to later see how meaningful it was? The apostle Paul experienced that in Athens. Surrounded by idols and philosophers, he found himself drawn into conversations he never planned—but God had planned them. Those “chance encounters” became divine appointments, opening the door for Paul to proclaim the gospel in one of history’s most influential cities.
In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks Acts 17:16-21, showing how God orchestrates opportunities to share His truth with the people around us. You’ll discover why the Athenians were so eager for new ideas, what drove Paul to engage them, and how his approach to everyday conversations can guide us today.
Learn how to recognize divine appointments, why curiosity is not the same as conversion, and how to respond when God places someone in your path. This message will encourage you to see your workplace, neighborhood, or even a casual stop at the store as opportunities for the gospel. God still arranges divine appointments—will you be ready for yours?
