Dr. Dan Van Voris is an incredible host and an expert in his field of study (Church History). I highly recommend this to anybody who is interested in history.

This podcast is excellent! Interesting, well-researched, thought-provoking, and appropriately humorous. I appreciate the wide breath of church history and traditions which it covers. I thoroughly enjoy listening to it daily!
It’s also super meaningful and encouraging to hear “…In Christ: The rumors of grace, forgiveness, and the redemption of all things are true. Everything is going to be okay.
Apple Podcasts5Laura TaskerUnited Statesa year ago - Everything is going to be okay!
My all-time favorite podcast! I’ve been listening since the first season in 2019 and greatly appreciate all the hard work, great research, and cheesy puns in each episode. I’ve learned so much about the church visible, and am so grateful for the ecumenical knowledge.
