For many St. Patrick’s Day or the Feast of Saint Patrick is mainly about food and alcohol consumption. One would think Ireland’s patron saint was a monk who partied a lot and got drunk. But behind the legend and myth, there’s a real Patrick who was “intoxicated” with a life of serving God and spreading the gospel. If you’d like to learn about the man behind the myth and his real mission, check out the lecture below by Dr. Michael Haykin on “Patrick’s Life and Missionary Labors.” This lecture is part of the curriculum for Reformed Baptist Seminary‘s course on The Early Church.
