Saint Augustine: The Rebel Who Could Not Escape God

Saint Augustine was brilliant, restless, ambitious, and deeply contradictory. Before becoming one of the great saints and thinkers of the Church, he searched for pleasure, prestige, intellectual answers, and freedom far from the faith of his mother, Saint Monica. In this episode of Footprints of Holiness, we follow his journey from Tagaste to Milan, his inner crisis, his encounter with Saint Ambrose, and the conversion that changed his life. This is a story about desire, guilt, intelligence, spiritual searching, and the slow surrender of a man who discovered that God had been waiting for him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
