Church History for Chumps
We're not your grandfather's church history podcast. But we'd also really appreciate it if he still listened.
Saints, heretics, councils...and the occasional crazy stuff. We have fun.

18. Simeon Stylites: The Man Who Lived on a Pillar
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From the age of 13, young Simeon knew that he was destined for greater things.
Or at the very least...much higher things.
Join Thomas and John as we talk about Simeon Stylites, a 5th century monk who began an interesting monastic practice: committing your life to living in isolation at the top of a pillar.
It's uncanny to say the least, but it sure gives us a lot to talk about.
