Lawrence (not Brother Lawrence, but he was dope too) was one of the seven deacons in the city of Rome in the 3rd Century. 

While he was one of many martyrs under the reign of Emperor Valerian, his story is one for the ages. 

In this episode, John and Tom chat about the role of deacons in the church, awesome pre-martyrdom punchlines, and why patron saints are kind of cool.
