He was not separated from Jesus by centuries — but by one generation.

Saint Polycarp was personally taught by the Apostle John. He defended the faith before creeds were written. He confronted heretics face to face. And when Rome demanded that he curse Christ, he answered with words that still echo through history: “Eighty-six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong.”

In this powerful biography, we explore the life of the last living link to the Apostles — his leadership in a persecuted Church, his battle against false doctrine, his meeting with the Bishop of Rome, and the dramatic martyrdom that became one of the earliest recorded Christian witness accounts in history.

This is not medieval legend. This is the Church at its beginning — raw, persecuted, and unbreakable.

If you’ve ever wondered what the faith looked like when it could cost you everything… this episode is for you.
