“You don’t need more — you need less, until only God remains.”

In this week’s Church History Unveiled, we journey into the ancient deserts of Egypt to meet St. Anthony the Great — the man whose hunger for God birthed a spiritual revolution.

Born into wealth in the third century, Anthony heard the words of Jesus — “Go, sell what you have, and follow Me.”
He obeyed.
He walked into the wilderness and never returned.

There, in silence and solitude, Anthony discovered the Presence that satisfies the soul.
Demons raged. Empires shifted.
But one man’s love for Jesus became the spark that ignited the monastic movement — shaping Christianity for centuries to come.

This is more than a history lesson — it’s a call to minister to the Lord in simplicity, silence, and devotion.
The same Spirit that filled the desert is calling you now. 🌿

Lord Jesus,
Make in us the same desert You made in Anthony —
a place where Your Spirit can rest.
Strip away the noise until only love remains.
Teach us to minister to You in stillness,
until every breath is worship.
Amen.
