Church History for Chumps

Gregory of Nazianzus: The Introvert Who Shaped the Trinity

ay big dog media Season 3 Episode 40

As we comb through history's ranks of church fathers, we tend to take something for granted. Many of these people had a natural desire for leadership. Augustine, Athanasius, Antony, they all had a natural penchant to address the crowds and stir up courage. 

This was not the case with our next Cappadocian Father, Gregory of Nazianzus. Gregory had a monastic soul, he longed for a quiet and peaceful life of prayer and contemplation. This was not, however, the plan that the Lord had for him. 

Join us as we discuss the 2nd of the Cappadocian Heavyweights, our guy Greg.
