About this listen

Today we turn to one of the most influential thinkers and spiritual writers in all of Christian history: Saint Augustine of Hippo. Born in 354 and dying in 430, Augustine’s life spans the late Roman Empire’s turbulent transition. His journey from a brilliant but wayward youth, through years of intellectual wandering and moral struggle, to a profound conversion and eventual bishopric, is captured in his masterpiece, Confessions—often called the first Western autobiography. It’s a raw, honest memoir of sin, grace, and the restless human heart that finds peace only in God.
