24: The Lord Opened Her Heart (Acts 16:14)
Episode description
In Acts 16:14, we meet Lydia—a successful businesswoman and the first recorded Christ-follower in Europe. But what led to her transformation? It wasn’t her good character or accomplishments that saved her. While Lydia was a worshiper of God and a woman of integrity, Scripture clearly shows that it was the Lord who opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. Our role is simply to respond with faith and obedience when He calls. In this episode, we explore Lydia’s story and what it teaches us about God’s grace, the mystery of divine initiative, and how we can stay responsive to His voice in our own lives. Join us as we unpack this beautiful example of God reaching hearts across cultures and continents.
Acts 16:14
14 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.
