In this episode of The Cyndi Peterson Show, we explore the lives and martyrdoms of James the Greater and James the Lesser (the Just)—two of Jesus' twelve apostles who shared not just a name, but a legacy of faith, sacrifice, and transformation.
Join me as I unravel the powerful journey of James the Greater: from preaching at the literal "ends of the earth" in Spain, to being the first apostle martyred. Then discover the quiet strength of James the Just, appointed by Peter, John, and James himself as the first bishop of Jerusalem. His holy leadership, fierce prayer life, and martyrdom from the pinnacle of the Temple changed the early Church forever.
What can we learn from their different paths? What lasting impact did they leave behind? And what do their lives teach us about trusting God's plan—even when we don't see immediate results?
