Step into the turbulent world of the 4th-century Church and meet Saint John Chrysostom—the fearless preacher whose fiery words shook emperors, comforted the poor, and earned him the title “The Golden Mouth.” From his humble childhood in Antioch, to his years as an ascetic hermit in the mountains, to his thunderous sermons in the great cathedral of Constantinople, John’s life was a drama of courage, exile, and unshakable faith.
In this episode, you’ll hear vivid, story-driven accounts of:
• His mystical experiences as a young boy that shaped his destiny.
• The brutal ascetic practices that nearly cost him his health—but forged his soul.
• His electrifying sermons that drew crowds into the streets and enraged emperors and empresses alike.
• His clashes with imperial power, betrayals by fellow bishops, and the long road of exile that ended with his final words: “Glory to God for all things.”
This is more than a history lesson—it’s an unforgettable journey into the life of one of the greatest voices in Christianity. Whether you’re a history lover, a seeker of spiritual inspiration, or simply drawn to epic true stories, you’ll be captivated by the rise and trials of the saint who dared to speak truth to power.
