Crucified and Still Teaching! | Saint Andrew the First Called | (Part 2) | CWJS Ep. 30

Cloud of Witnesses Radio

We are excited to bring you Part 2 of the Apostle Andrew's life! From his endless missionary travels, to his miracles, to his blessed martyrdom, we pray that his example may inspire us all. ☦
Ready for a trip through the pages of the New Testament like you've never experienced before? Imagine being at the Sea of Galilee, feeling the salty air, hearing the lapping of waves, and watching two brothers, Simon and Andrew, hauling in their nets. But this isn't just a day in the life of two fishermen. A chance encounter with John the Baptist changes everything. Get immersed in the tensions, the anticipation, and the transformation in our audio dramatization of the story of Saint Andrew, the First Called.
Ever wondered why Andrew was chosen first by Jesus? Or perhaps you never thought about it, but we promise you, it is a story that will capture your attention. We'll help you visualize the scene as Andrew becomes more than a fisherman. We'll share our views on the popular series, The Chosen, and explore how we've aimed to create an equally engaging audio version of the lives of the saints. And we tackle the baptism of Jesus Christ. A hugely significant event in the life of the Church, we weave a narrative that will make you feel just like a fly on the wall at this historic moment. Join us on this journey, an enlightening exploration of the life of Saint Andrew and a captivating dive into the depths of the New Testament.

Join us on a mesmerizing journey as we navigate the life of Saint Andrew, a simple fisherman turned powerful evangelist. Feel the tumultuous rush of faith as Andrew, first among the Apostles, witnessed the miracles, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, only to then embark on his own mission across the Roman Empire. Experience every nerve-wracking moment as Andrew carries his faith into the very heart of danger in the city of Patra, healing the sick and preaching the gospel, including to the pagan governor, Egitos. The tension builds as Egitos' wife, Maximilla, falls ill and Andrew is their only hope - will this turn the governor towards the Christian faith?
Brace yourselves for some exciting new projects as well. We're about to retell CS Lewis's "Screw Tape Letters" with a modern twist, brought to life by one of our very own talented voice actors. We plan to expand the reach of our podcast, drawing you into current dialogues within the Orthodox community while keeping the stories of the saints at its core. But to make it all happen, we need your help. We aspire to improve our podcast's quality and get our own equipment. So, join us in this journey, exploring the life of Saint Andrew, embarking on new projects, and creating a deeper, richer storytelling experience!

Thank you for journeying w/ the Saints with us!
