The Jailbreak That Changed Everything

Paul recruits Timothy, the Holy Spirit literally reroutes the whole mission trip, and then Paul and Silas get beaten and thrown in jail — only to start a worship session so fire that God sends an earthquake to break the chains. The jailer goes from almost ending it all to getting baptized that same night.
