0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:30.0	Hey there, Sprouts. Today is August 28th, 2020. It is also the feast day of St. August Augustine. This week on the Catholic Sprouts podcast, we have been talking about fear. We do live in a little bit of a scarier world right now, but we are Christians.
0:40.3	We are people with a savior who has conquered death, and we should live in hope. We have learned this
0:49.7	week from St. Louis, King of France, who fought in the Crusades, from the early Christians who did not fear death,
0:55.9	and from St. Monica, who is a prayer warrior for her son, whom we are celebrating today, St. Augustine.
1:04.6	Now, St. Augustine of Hippo, we know today as a bishop, as a theologian, as someone that has written about the great mysteries of God and perhaps the most powerful ways.
1:19.0	St. Augustine of Hippo lived hundreds of years ago. He lived in northern Africa.
1:23.9	And as we learned yesterday, his early life was not necessarily a very holy or inspirational life.
1:32.1	St. Augustine for his early years was a sinner.
1:36.0	He was a very intelligent man.
1:39.0	And even though it was hundreds and hundreds of years ago, he had a fine education.
1:44.0	He was respected as a super
1:45.9	intelligent man. He taught in schools. And yet he felt he was too smart, perhaps, for Christianity.
1:54.1	He saw the faith of his mother, and he just couldn't accept it. He also knew that he was so deep
2:00.0	in sin that if he were to become Christian, he'd have to
2:02.9	change his lifestyle completely. And for years, although he began to suspect that Jesus was real,
2:10.3	he just couldn't escape the sinful lifestyle that he lived. Thankfully, God sent a powerful mentor
2:17.2	into his life. St. Ambrose came, and he was a super
2:22.5	brilliant man himself. And through conversations with St. Augustine, St. Augustine embraced the faith,
2:29.2	converted, became a priest, and was named a bishop. St. Augustine wrestled with really difficult things that we
2:38.3	still struggle with today. Most notably, he worked to explain the Trinity. How is it that we can have
2:44.9	one God that's made of three persons? Still confusing today, but St. Augustine tackled that way back went.
