This special Church history series is a culminating project for a seminary class, so these episodes won’t follow our usual model for Scripture meditation. Rather, I’d like to take you on a journey through time, tracing the thread of what it looked like to live a life of complete devotion to God. For better or for worse, how has consecration been defined? And who were the ones held up as heroes of the faith?

Sources consulted for this episode:

• Shelley, Bruce L. Church History in Plain Language. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Academic, 2021.
• Calhoun, Adele Ahlberg. Spiritual Disciplines Handbook: Practices That Transform Us. Downers Grove: IVP Books, 2015.

Thanks to ChatGPT for helping me come up with the catchy series title…its succinct suggestion for “the changing perception of Christian heroes throughout Church history.” The subtitle? That’s all mine. I have no trouble with wordy descriptions! 😉
