The Long Defeat

from Imagination Redeemed Hosted by Anselm Society

Have you ever looked around and felt like the last person on earth who still believes this stuff? Athanasius did. The young deacon at Nicaea spent the next forty-five years in exile, fighting a battle he couldn't win against a church that had largely caved. He wrote from the desert. He outlived four emperors. He didn't see the tide turn. He kept fighting anyway. In this episode, Brian, Amy, and Christina explore what faithful endurance looks like when you've lost the room—and why the Long Defeat is not the same thing as failure.
