About this listen

Today we learn about St. Nemesius of Alexandria, an early Christian martyr whose life reflected the Passion of Christ in a striking way. Betrayed, falsely accused, declared innocent, and still condemned, Nemesius remained faithful to Christ through extreme injustice and suffering. His witness strengthened the early Church and continues to inspire Christians today.


In this episode, Saul shares 7 cool facts about St. Nemesius. You will hear how he was betrayed by someone claiming to be a fellow Christian, how authorities recognized his innocence yet punished him more severely, how his suffering mirrored the betrayal and trial of Jesus, and how he courageously endured martyrdom by fire during the Decian persecution. St. Nemesius reminds us that faithfulness to Christ matters more than fairness in this world.


💬 Thought to Remember

Faithfulness is proven when obedience costs everything.


✝️ Reflection Verse

“If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.”
