What this episode covers
In this episode of the Great Men of the Bible series, host Joe Stopulos is joined by Catholic author and historian Mike Aquilina to explore the life of Saint Peter. From his early days as a fisherman to his transformation into the bold leader of the early Church, Peter’s story is one of weakness, repentance, and radical conversion. Together, they unpack the defining moments of Peter’s journey—his failures, his faith, and the life-changing power of the Resurrection and Pentecost. This episode highlights how Peter’s humanity makes him one of the most relatable figures in Scripture—and how his life offers a powerful blueprint for faith, leadership, and perseverance today. #SaintPeter #CatholicPodcast #BibleStudy #GreatMenOfTheBible #CatholicFaith #NewTestament #Evangelization #ChristianLeadership #ActsOfTheApostles #CatholicRadio
