What would you do if the end of the world was coming? Would fear, uncertainty, or discouragement make you give up? St. Paul says we don't need to give in to despair: we have a true source of hope. 

In this episode, Fr. Columba Jordan explores St. Paul’s Letters to the Thessalonians and the struggle of an early Christian community facing confusion, despair, and anxiety. In response, St. Paul gives practical solutions which can still work for us today.
