Paul’s Thorn
Inspired by Paul’s mysterious ”thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:7), this podcast explores disability in the Bible—its stories, meanings, and impact on faith. Paul’s Thorn examines how scripture portrays disability, challenges common interpretations, and offers fresh theological insights. Through engaging discussions, we uncover what these ancient texts reveal about inclusion, suffering, healing, and divine strength in weakness.
