Who was the real Saint Nicholas—before folklore, commercialization, and red suits transformed his story?

In this episode, we explore Saint Nicholas of Myra, a real 4th-century Christian bishop whose life was shaped by Scripture, sacrifice, and theological conviction. Far from myth, Nicholas stood at the heart of the early Church, defending the divinity of Christ, caring for the poor, and living out a faith deeply rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures.

We examine:

The historical Church context of Saint Nicholas
His role in early Christian theology
How Jewish biblical ethics shaped Christian charity
Why his story still matters for believers today

This is an invitation to rediscover the ancient faith beneath modern tradition—and to see how early Christianity remained grounded in the God of Israel and the Scriptures Jesus Himself loved.
