Hidden Treasures of the Early Church – Episode 3: The Martyrdom of Polycarp What does unwavering faith look like? In Episode 3 of Hidden Treasures of the Early Church, Deacon Pat Kearns explores the inspiring story of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna and a direct disciple of the Apostle John. Living during a time of fierce persecution, Polycarp faced a choice that every Christian eventually encounters in one form or another: compromise your faith or remain faithful to Christ. Hear the remarkable account of his arrest, his famous declaration—"Eighty-six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong"—and the courage that made him one of the most beloved martyrs in Christian history. More than a story about death, this is a story about faithfulness, conviction, and the kind of courage that still challenges Christians today. Join us as we uncover another hidden treasure from the early Church and discover what Polycarp's witness can teach us about standing firm in a world that often asks us to compromise.
