Manage episode 489254028 series 3536840
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the state of the world or maybe just your own home, and wondered how the early Christians held it all together? Because let's face it, they were going through their own mess.
In today's episode of Persistence in Prayer, we're stepping back into church history with author and theologian Michael Aquilina. Not just to marvel at the Saints of Old, but to uncover how their ordinary struggles in chaotic times can offer us real hope and direction right now.
From family chaos to cultural confusion, this conversation is full of surprising stories, practical wisdom, and a reminder that holiness is not about perfection.
It's about staying faithful through the mess and showing up in the little ways for the people around us to remind them of the presence of Christ.
So if you've been craving peace in the midst of all of the noise or just need a little help trusting God's plan in the tension of today, stay with us to the end. I promise you will walk away with a sense of renewed hope.
