We’re drawn to ancient stories where people were willing to risk, explore, and face the unknown. The kind of journeys that revealed their true identity, forged their character, and brought refreshment and freedom. The kind of stories where they encountered God, and He changed everything. Go on the adventure of a lifetime and encounter the places where events took place that forever shaped history. Real Encounters with God is a series filmed on location in Israel by Crossroads Church.
We have good news and bad news. Bad news: suffering exists. The good? God can actually use that suffering to make you better. That thing that is beating you down and makes you want to give up can be the very thing God uses to shape you into who He wants you to be. This week, we go on location with Kyle Ranson in the ancient city of Philippi to learn Paul's story of suffering and how God used it to shape not just Paul, but all of world history. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

This week, we dive into what Paul really meant when he said "run in a way to get the prize"—by actually following his footsteps in Tarsus (modern-day Turkey). This week, Kyle Ranson helps us to see what he saw then, and feel what God is calling you to right now. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
What's #1 way to lose a race? To not know you're running one. Many of us are grinding away at our job, with kids, in our side hustles. But what if God has an entirely different race for you? This week, we look at the life of Paul. He was running down one road, until God literally stopped him in his tracks and set him on a new path. This week, Brian Tome shows us how God might be telling us to do the same Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
We’ve all been wired for a clear purpose. Though we are different we all together are needed to be used for the purposes of God.
