Episode Synopsis

Step into one of the most hauntingly beautiful stories in Christian history—the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, the princess who traded her crown for a cloak of poverty.Born into royalty and raised for greatness, Elizabeth’s world shattered when her husband, Ludwig of Thuringia, died on crusade. Betrayed and cast out by her in-laws, she wandered through the snow with her children, homeless and hungry. But instead of despair, she found her true kingdom—the kingdom of Christ among the poor.In this powerful devotional biography, you’ll witness her exile, her forgiveness toward those who wronged her, and her transformation from royal widow to servant of the dying. You’ll walk with her through the hospital at Marburg, where she nursed lepers with her own hands, and hear the final words that lifted her soul into eternity.A story of humility, mystical love, and unconquerable faith, this episode captures the miracle of a soul that turned humiliation into holiness.🎧 “We are made for love—and nothing less.”
