The Life of Saint John the Evangelist


Listen Later

He was the youngest of the Apostles — and the last to die.

The only disciple who stood beneath the Cross.

The man who leaned his head against the chest of Christ… and later saw heaven opened before his eyes.


This episode tells the full, dramatic life story of Saint John the Evangelist — fisherman, Son of Thunder, beloved disciple, prophet of eternity. From the shores of Galilee to the upper room, from the foot of the Cross to exile on the island of Patmos, John’s life unfolds as a journey of fire transformed into love.


You’ll hear how a hot-tempered young man was reshaped by Christ into the Apostle of Love; how John survived persecution when all the others were martyred; how he was plunged into boiling oil and lived; how he received the terrifying and glorious visions recorded in the Book of Revelation; and how, in his final years, he gave the world a Gospel unlike any other.


If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to walk with Jesus, to hear His voice, to stand beside His mother as He died, or to see eternity unveiled — this episode is for you.
