Sanctifying Saints - St. Flavian: The Martyr Who Defended Christ’s True Nature

Most men today fear losing their reputation. St. Flavian feared nothing but losing the truth. In this episode, we dive deep into the life of a 5th-century warrior for the faith, a man who stood firm when the Church was under siege by heresy. As the Patriarch of Constantinople, St. Flavian refused to compromise, excommunicating a heretic monk despite immense political pressure. The cost? Betrayal, brutal beatings, and ultimately, martyrdom.

His story isn’t just history—it’s a battle cry for men today. Are you willing to stand for truth, even when the world turns against you? In this episode, we break down:

• The dangerous heresy St. Flavian fought against and why it still matters today.
• How his brutal death led to one of the Church’s most important teachings.
• Three powerful lessons you can apply to your own spiritual battles right now.

This is a must-listen if you’re serious about growing in faith and courage. Hit play and step into the fight.

Three Powerful Quotes from the Episode:

1. “Heresies will come and go, but the truth entrusted to the Church by Christ endures.”
2. “Flavian’s unwavering commitment to Christ’s truth is a challenge to all of us. Fidelity to Christ requires courage, even when it leads to suffering.”
3. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:10)

Know your faith, stand firm, and be willing to suffer for it. St. Flavian’s story reminds us that truth is worth fighting for. Today, commit to learning one essential teaching of the Church—especially regarding Christ’s identity—so you can defend it when the time comes.
