In this episode, hosts Peter and Malissa welcome distinguished theologian, scholar, and author Dr. Jerry Sittser to explore Christianity's resilience through history's darkest moments. Dr. Sittser shares how the Benedictine monastic movement emerged during societal collapse and natural disasters in the 6th century, quietly preserving knowledge and faith for future generations. Through historical examples and personal stories, he discusses how Christians can maintain faithful presence while stewarding power responsibly in today's divided world. Drawing from his books, including "Resilient Faith," Dr. Sittser offers hope and practical wisdom for navigating current cultural challenges by learning from the church's past.
