Following the Fathers is your modern gateway into the amazing wisdom of the early church fathers. We start by looking at Saint Antony and move through his life and the practices and wisdom that were most transformative for him. Join hosts Ben Petersen, Jason Smith, and Ben Clarke as we follow the fathers of the faith and let them be our mentors on our own journeys as disciples of Jesus.
