Desert Fathers in a Year | Become Who You Are
Welcome to Episode 3 of The Desert Fathers in a Year!
Join Jamie, the founder and CEO of Exodus 90, and Bishop Erik Varden as we continue our transformative journey through the timeless wisdom of the Desert Fathers. In this week’s episode, we delve into the inspiring life of St. Antony of the Desert, a man whose unwavering faith and discipline shaped the path of Christian asceticism. Together, we reflect on Antony’s courageous battles against temptation in the solitude of the desert, his profound reliance on the power of God’s Word to sustain him, and the extraordinary transformation that made him a Christ-bearer to the world.
Through Antony’s story, we uncover deep spiritual truths about perseverance in trials, the purpose of asceticism, and the journey of becoming who God has called us to be. Whether you are encountering the Desert Fathers for the first time or deepening an existing devotion, this reflection offers valuable insights for your own spiritual path.
