    I loved it because, as a Christian, I even cried. Paul and Peter suffered greatly, and none of that suffering caused the church to fall apart; on the contrary, it grew even more than they could have imagined at the time, and today the church is deeply blessed by God... I have no words to describe the emotion I felt 🙏🏽😍🌹

    Being at Mamertine was surreal. To read 2 Timothy in the prision that Paul penned it was amazing.
