About this listen
In this episode of Heroic Lives, we dive into the remarkable story of Saint Gregory of Nazianzus, a man whose words shaped Christian doctrine, whose wisdom still echoes in theological debates, and whose love for God burned so intensely that he is remembered as The Theologian. Gregory was a brilliant scholar, a gifted orator, and a defender of the Trinity at a time when the Church was torn by heresy. Alongside his lifelong friend Saint Basil of Caesarea, he helped lay the foundations of Christian theology.
But unlike other great bishops of his time, Gregory never sought power—he longed for silence, prayer, and contemplation. Yet, time and again, he was called into battle, standing against false teachings, leading the Church in Constantinople, and shaping the very creed we profess today. Join us as we explore the life of this reluctant bishop, poetic theologian, and saint who walked away from power to find peace in God alone.
