Explore Augustine College, a one-year classical Christian program in Ottawa that prepares students to think and live faithfully in a secular age: 🔗 https://pxllnk.co/augustinepodcast In this episode, Dr. John Patrick continues his series on the Beatitudes, exploring what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness and how real conversion changes lives from the inside out. He recounts stories of transformation, including a Falklands War veteran freed instantly from alcoholism and the miners converted under the preaching of George Whitfield, and traces how the eighteenth century revival in Britain reshaped a nation through figures like Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery. Dr. John Patrick also reflects on Paul's thorn in the flesh, N.T. Wright's book on the Psalms, and an article by Sebastian Milbank in First Things on the true meaning of Christian hospitality. He closes with reflections on sexual ethics, Rosaria Butterfield's conversion story, and an essay by Ephraim Radner on how little we truly understand of other cultures and hearts. 🎬 Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/GxgV0CL-KbQ // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literacy Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick
