Learn about the Apostle Paul and his work in proclaiming the gospel of Christ to all nations.

In this episode, we explore St. George, who really existed, and the legend that he may have slayed a dragon. I also unpack the Scriptures behind my hymn, "Snatch Them from the Fire," which you are welcome to use however you would like. A copy of it can be found at https://sandhandrews.wordpress.com/resources/hymnody/

Thanks to Emma Wohlgemuth for the organ music to accompany the hymn moving forward.

We finish looking at the lives of the twelve apostles and continue our study of Peter's first letter to the Church.

We continue our review of Christ's apostles.

Edited 3/18/2025: I did not feel like I articulated the topic of 1 Peter 3:1-2 well yesterday, so I recorded that section over again to emphasize the following note clearly -

Please note, this episode in no way condones abusive relationships, but stresses that an abused spouse should seek help. Unlike the world, which only focuses on the self and one's own needs, the question for the Christian is how do we love our neighbor even in the midst of suffering? How do we, as the body of Christ, share Christ with other sinners, even our enemies?

We consider the martyrdom of two more of Jesus' apostles and continue our study of 1 Peter with some words that directly challenge our view of the purpose and meaning of life.

How do we prepare ourselves to endure and stand firm in our faith in Jesus should extreme persecution or even martyrdom come?

If you have any martyrs you would like to learn more about, or if there are current cultural issues you'd like to know how to be a witness of Christ in the midst of, please let me know.
