  • Makes Adventist History come to life

    I am enjoying how Adventist History as told in this podcast. Women are included for their significant contributions as well as non-whites. Being able to learn the twists and turns of this movement is refreshing. I especially appreciate the handling and views about people who did not do the right things. This makes it real. It is interesting how the church reacts in these situations and lessons that can be learned for today.

  • Takes Adventists out of the sterilizer!

    I have truly enjoyed this podcast as our history is not sterile and devoid of the humanness that accompanied its sharing down through the years. It truly was made up of real humans that were imperfect and in need of Gods grace just as much as we do today.

    Thank you for the hard work you have put into making these. I have shared it with several people who have also appreciated hearing church history presented prior to the sterilization process.
