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.

Hello, and welcome to Catholic Saints, the podcast about the lives of the saints and their legacy

for the church and for us. I'm Dr. Jessica Yule and I'm joined today by Dr. Jean-Paul-Juge. Welcome.

Thanks for joining us. Thank you and very excellent French pronunciation of my name. I love it when I hear it that way.

Thank you.

Good to be here.

Awesome.

Can you tell us, do you have a favorite course that you're teaching right now in the graduate school?

Yeah. So I teach a course called Catholic Faith and Church of the Fathers.

And this is for our MBA and Biblical Studies students, this is an

introduction to early Christianity and the writings of the early church fathers. So since that was my

area of specialty and studies and in research, I always enjoy going back over that material.

That sounds amazing. Sounds like a really fun course to take. Could you tell us how the saints

come into your teaching? Yeah, we teach another

course. It's one of the common courses we take here at the Augustin Institute, which is called

Light to the Nations. It's an introductory church history course of sorts, but it's church history

taught through the lives of, you know, crucial saints in the tradition.

So we try to use those saints as lenses, you know, to look at church history in a wider way.

That's beautiful.

That's really neat.

So today we're going to be talking about one of my favorite saints, St. George.
