What happens when church history challenges everything you thought you knew about Christianity? In this episode of Things You Don’t Hear in Church, we sit down with Jeff from EverTold to explore the fascinating, complicated, and often misunderstood history of the Christian Church. From the early church fathers and Christian martyrs to Constantine, the medieval Church, and the Protestant Reformation, we discuss what Christians can learn from 2,000 years of church history. How should Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians approach historical disagreements? Does church tradition carry the same authority as Scripture? And what should you do when the beliefs you grew up with don't seem to match what early Christians believed? We also dive into debates surrounding the Eucharist, bishops, apostolic succession, and the role of Constantine in shaping Christianity. Along the way, we explore how the Holy Spirit has guided the Church, the contributions of monks to Western civilization, and why studying Christian history can strengthen your faith rather than destroy it. Whether you're a new Christian, a skeptic, or a lifelong believer, this conversation will challenge you to think critically, approach church history with an open mind, and discover the incredible stories that shaped Christianity.

Do Eucharistic miracles, Marian apparitions, and stigmata prove that the Catholic Church is the true church? In this video, we take a closer look at Catholic miracles and examine whether they provide convincing evidence for the claims of Catholicism. Catholic miracles are often presented as powerful evidence for the Catholic faith, especially in popular Catholic apologetics. But are these miracle claims as convincing as they first appear? We examine Eucharistic miracles, reported Marian apparitions, and stigmata, exploring the evidence, potential problems, and important questions that are sometimes overlooked in popular discussions. Whether you're a Protestant Christian, a new believer, someone exploring Catholicism, or a skeptic investigating Christianity, this video will help you think critically about miracles, church history, and the evidence behind extraordinary religious claims. Do Catholic miracles prove Catholicism is true? Can reported supernatural experiences establish which church has the correct doctrine? And how should Christians evaluate miracle claims in light of Scripture and sound reasoning? Our goal isn't to dismiss questions or discourage honest investigation, but to look beyond popular apologetics and examine whether these claims provide sufficient reason to become Catholic. If you're interested in Christian apologetics, Catholic vs. Protestant debates, biblical Christianity, church history, and defending the Christian faith, this discussion is for you.Subscribe for more conversations about the Bible, apologetics, theology, and evangelism!

What does the Bible actually teach about God’s knowledge of the future? In this conversation, we talk with Ethan Rene and take a thoughtful look at Open Theism, God’s foreknowledge, human free will, and the question of whether God knows every future event. Ethan Renoe believes in soul sleep and is curious about Open Theism, so we also discuss what happens to believers after death and whether the Bible teaches that the dead are conscious or “sleeping” until the resurrection. This is a kind-hearted Christian discussion about difficult theological questions, biblical interpretation, free will, God’s sovereignty, divine foreknowledge, the afterlife, resurrection, and what Scripture says about the nature of God. If you’re a new Christian, curious about Jesus, a skeptic exploring Christianity, or a Christian who wants to strengthen your faith and understand the Bible more deeply, this conversation will give you plenty to think about. We don’t avoid difficult questions—we examine them through Scripture and seek to follow where the biblical evidence leads.

Why should someone choose Anglican Christianity instead of Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy? In this interview, Austin shares his journey from growing up as a low-church evangelical Christian, seriously considering Eastern Orthodoxy, and ultimately becoming Anglican.We discuss the differences between Anglicanism, Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodoxy, and why Austin became convinced that Anglican Christianity was the best expression of historic Christianity.

Should Christians be concerned with NeedGod? In this video, we take a closer look at several clips from NeedGod and examine some of his most controversial theological takes surrounding faith, works, salvation, Catholicism, and what it means to be a Christian. NeedGod has recently appeared on several major podcasts and has sparked significant discussion among Christians, skeptics, and people interested in theology. But are his arguments consistent with Scripture? What does the Bible actually teach about faith and works? How should Christians understand salvation, justification, obedience, and the role of good works? And are his warnings about Catholicism fair and biblically grounded? Rather than simply attacking or defending NeedGod, we're going to examine these claims through the lens of Scripture and historic Christian theology. Whether you're a new Christian, someone curious about Jesus, a skeptic exploring Christianity, or a Christian looking to strengthen your faith and biblical understanding, this video is designed to help you think critically and test theological claims against the Bible.

In this episode of Things You Don't Hear in Church, we discuss Christianity and Islam, the growing tension between Muslims and Christians in America, the controversy surrounding Dearborn, Michigan, and what the Bible says about loving our enemies. We explore whether Islam is compatible with American and Western values, how Christians should think about Islamic theology and Sharia law, the difference between criticizing a religion and hating the people who follow it, and whether Christians should be concerned about Islam's influence in America. Most importantly, we ask: What should Christians actually do? Should Christians protest? Get political? Fear Muslims? Or should our primary response be evangelism, prayer, love, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ? If you're a Christian interested in Christian apologetics, Islam vs Christianity, evangelism, biblical worldview, Muslims in America, Dearborn, Michigan, religious freedom, Christian nationalism, or defending the Christian faith, this conversation is for you. Our goal isn't simply to criticize Islam—it’s to think biblically about Muslims, Islam, America, politics, culture, and the Great Commission. Jesus calls Christians to love their enemies, make disciples, and preach the gospel.

Sproul, Michael Heiser, and John MacArthur and comparing their views with what the Bible actually teaches.We tackle three important questions that every Christian—and especially anyone exploring Christianity—should think through.
