Today we learn about St. Andrew the Apostle, the first disciple called by Jesus and the brother of St. Peter. St. Andrew’s simple act of saying “yes” to Christ opened the door for his brother, for the other Apostles, and eventually for the whole Church. His life of faith, courage, preaching, and martyrdom continues to inspire Christians around the world.
In this episode, Saul shares 7 cool facts about St. Andrew. You will learn how he became the first-called disciple, how he brought St. Peter to Jesus, how he witnessed major moments in the Gospels, where he preached after the Resurrection, how he accepted martyrdom on an X-shaped cross, and how his relics are honored across the world today. St. Andrew teaches us that the first mission of every Christian is to bring others to Christ.
