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.

Church History for Chumps
Anthony the Great: The First Desert Father
Imagine that you're a teenager. You live in one of the biggest cities in the world, and your parents have just died, leaving behind a Bruce Wayne-esque amount of wealth and land. This is any kid's dream come true. The world is your oyster.
Unless your name is Anthony the Great. Then you decide to sell all your stuff, give it to the poor, and then go live in the desert for 80 years. I guess he was a little different.
Join us this week as we revisit the Desert Fathers with a close-up view of Anthony the Great!
And don't forget to leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts, and follow us on Instagram. If you like Instagram.
