Episode Details

We sit with the image of heaven built on twelve foundation stones and notice the surprising name carved there: Bartholomew. We trace his path from skeptical Nathanael to fearless apostle and hear the promise that God sees the hidden moments we think nobody knows. 

• the heavenly Jerusalem resting on twelve apostolic names 
• why Bartholomew feels unknown yet essential 
• the tradition connecting Bartholomew with Nathanael 
• skepticism and prejudice challenged by a simple invitation 
• “I saw you under the fig tree” as a word for hidden life 
• moving from doubt to confession of faith 
• Bartholomew’s mission beyond Israel and ties to Armenia 
• martyrdom as the final proof of transformed love 
• holiness as being a foundation stone that holds others up 

Come and see.
