from The Daily Grind · host John Spencer
Monday, May 12: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we explore the jaw-dropping story of Moses the Black, a violent bandit turned desert monk whose life was radically transformed by grace. Once the leader of a gang of thieves in 4th-century Egypt, Moses fled into the wilderness and found redemption among early Christian monks. His journey from rage to peace, from sinner to saint, reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God's mercy—and that true transformation is always possible.
