  • Awesome podcast

    I’m so glad I found this podcast. It gives both encouragement for my faith as well as provides for my love of history. It seamlessly blends the truth of God’s Word but due to the way the Bible was written, it also provides the historical facts which even in this day of scientific facts gives information that can only strengthen your faith

  • A Great Podcast!

    Stephen does a great job in narrating and storytelling the beginning of the religion. As an art history minor and a Christian, it's interesting to see how these two mix! Understanding the history of a religion, as well as its influencial people and beliefs in the past really put into perspective the current acts and beliefs christians abide by.
