The True Story","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1077,"description":"In this episode of Everyday Saints, a Catholic podcast about the real lives of the saints, host John O'Connor tells the story of St. Thomas the Apostle — one of the most misunderstood figures in the entire New Testament.\nYou know him as Doubting Thomas. Here is what you do not know.\nBefore he ever demanded proof, he was the only disciple willing to say out loud what following Jesus might actually cost. And after the moment history remembers him for — standing in a locked room, face to face with a man he had watched die — he traveled three thousand miles alone to a country none of the other apostles would go near.\nHe built seven churches there. He was martyred there. And the Christian community he founded is still active in India today — two thousand years later.\nThe doubt was one moment. The rest of his life was something else entirely.\nWhat you will hear in this episode:\n — The moment most people have never read — Thomas volunteering to die alongside Jesus\n — The question at the Last Supper that produced one of the most famous sentences in scripture\n — The locked room, the demand for proof, and what Thomas actually said when he saw\n — Why every other disciple responded to the resurrection exactly the same way Thomas did\n — The mission nobody else would take — and how Thomas ended up on a boat he never chose\n — Twenty years in India, seven churches, and a martyrdom three thousand miles from home\n — What honest doubt actually looks like — and where it can take you\nEveryday Saints is a weekly Catholic podcast telling the real, human stories of the saints in plain language — for regular people with real jobs, real doubts, and real lives. No theology degree required.\nNew episodes every Thursday.Host: John O'Connor","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/p11BiaHcokL1mvfojhmEnpzZa2sDMNzQm2mXAU9H-tY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yMzJm/MDQwN2U2MWU2NjA3/ODFjNjhjNTMzNDMw/NGUxMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
