You're listening to a podcast on Catholic Saints.

This podcast is produced by the Augustine Institute,

an Apostolate helping Catholics understand, live, and share their faith.

Hi, welcome to Catholic Saints.

My name is Mary McGeehan, and I am joined with Dr. Ben Acres on this episode of Catholic Saints. Dr. Aikers, thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me. I loved that

going through different saints. The Catholic Saints has been a popular video series, but also now we've been

ripping audio and making it a podcast. And so I think there's, you know, people are really

interested in learning about the saints. So absolutely. Yes. We're going to talk about St. Andrew today,

St. Andrew the Apostle. And the goal of the Catholic Saint episodes is to dive into the lives of the

saints with the apostles. It's so nice because we have so much scripture to dive into the lives of the saints with the apostles.

It's so nice because we have so much scripture to dive into and look to them for sorts

of inspiration for our own lives today.

So let us begin.

I guess to start, St. Andrew, we know he is one of Jesus's 12.

What do we know about him in scripture to start as a basic biographical facts? Do we know where he's

from? Sure. Yeah. So yeah. Great question. So Andrew is interesting because we all, he has one of the

12 apostles as you mentioned. He shows up in all four gospels because as all 12 apostles do. But he's listed

in the list of apostles in two gospels as the second person listed.

And then in one gospel and Mark and actually the apostles,

he's listed as the fourth apostle in the list.

So that's kind of always intriguing when the kind of the list shifts a little bit.

Yeah.
