Following Jesus into danger. Dan Shaw discusses the conclusion of the book of Romans, highlighting Paul's mission to visit Rome and use it as a pit stop on his way to Spain to preach the gospel. Shaw reflects on the significance of Paul's journey, including his ultimate martyrdom under Emperor Nero. He emphasizes the unpredictability and dangers of following Jesus, while stressing the importance of maintaining hope, joy, and peace through faith. By drawing parallels with cultural references like the movie 'Paul the Apostle' and 'Star Wars', Shaw underscores the need for steadfastness in faith and continuous sharing of the gospel, with the assurance that our ultimate destination is life with Jesus. @elctacoma9816 #fightclub #faith #preaching
