"Hey! I'm walkin here!"
St. Ignatius, probably
Not much is known of the 1st Century early church father known as Ignatius of Antioch. His early life, conversion, and place of origin are steeped in mystery.
What we do know is this: after serving as the Bishop of Antioch for many years, Ignatius was captured during the persecution of Trajan. Rather than offer him a merciful execution, the old man was forced to march from his home throughout the Empire, finally ending in Rome where he would be killed by wild beasts.
Some might call it a farewell tour.
Join your favorite church history dummies as we discuss the legacy of the man known as "The God Bearer." We also talk a lot about therapy, for some reason. It's a good time.
