The Life of Saint Jerome

Travel back to the wild borderlands of the Roman Empire and discover the extraordinary life of Saint Jerome—the fiery scholar, fearless monk, and legendary translator whose words would shape Christianity for centuries to come.

In this immersive episode, we trace Jerome’s journey from his spirited childhood in Stridon to the glittering halls and hidden dangers of Rome, through his fierce battles with temptation in the deserts of Syria, and on to the heart of the Christian world in Bethlehem. Experience vivid scenes of Jerome wrestling with spiritual and intellectual giants, debating bishops and heretics, comforting the poor, and laboring late into the night over the sacred texts that would become the Latin Vulgate.

Hear about his friendships and heartbreaks, his mystical visions, his moments of doubt and soaring triumph. Whether facing lions in the wilderness or the wolves of Church politics, Jerome’s story is a powerful testament to the relentless pursuit of truth, the struggle for holiness, and the enduring call to serve God with both intellect and heart.

If you’re fascinated by saints, seekers, and spiritual heroes—or if you just love a good story of passion, genius, and transformation—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
