We're back in the 4th century, baby.
And it's time we finally talk about the Cappadocian Fathers. Two brothers and one lifelong friend, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianzus were three of the most pivotal figures in the history of Eastern Christianity. And today, we begin with Basil.
During a thyme of heretical emperors, he was a voice of Nicene wisdom. When the east was peppered with poor and needy souls, he provided the sage hand of charity. His words with salted with discernment, and his actions seasoned with grace.
Basil was awesome. This is a fun episode.
Also, is it a flex to have steak for lunch? What if you cook it in the air fryer?
Also also, Thomas and John are pretty mean to Taylor in the first ten minutes of this episode, so Taylor if you're reading this, we love ya bud.
