Not every saint gets a dramatic backstory—but St. Matthias gives us a powerful word for the Church today.

In this new episode of Everyday Monks, the parish podcast of St. Benedict’s Anglican Church (REC) in Rockwall, Texas, we explore the Feast of St. Matthias the Apostle and the striking contrast between Judas the traitor and Matthias the faithful servant. It’s a conversation about apostasy, restoration, faithful pastors, the ordering of the Church, and why Christians should never stop praying for their bishops, priests, and deacons.

This one is rich with insight from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, Acts 1, and the sobering reminder that while false shepherds can wound the Church, Christ still preserves His Church and raises up faithful men to guide it.

If you’ve ever wondered why church order matters, why the apostles replaced Judas before Pentecost, or why praying for your pastors is so vital—this episode is for you.
