AI summary: Pisidia matters because Acts shows the mission moving beyond coastlands into more difficult inland terrain. Paul and Barnabas preach there, face resistance, and continue on, making the region part of the resilient outward movement of the church. The cross references present Pisidia as an Anatolian highland region of mission and opposition.1
