What People Are Saying
Even the podcast artwork is amazing!
I hadn't even listened to the podcast yet, but I was confident it would be good—and I wasn't disappointed! The voice actors and sound effects were so realistic that I felt as if I were right there with Adam and Eve in Eden and Noah on the Ark, witnessing the challenges faced by Abraham and Sarah. EDIT (7/12/2025): I’m...
Read MoreExcellent
This is hands down the best Christian history overview. I have searched for something like this for a long time! The recording is fairly old, but it is so so good! Such an accessible and informative overview
Understanding
Each episode helps to clarify the Bible deeper and gives me an understanding of each character we otherwise might not really know. Thank you!
Fantastic to wind down with
Absolutely great in every way: the narrator, the actors, the scripts. I listen to a new episode every night to help me wind down before bed, and connect with God.
One of three listened to every single morning!
I absolutely love this podcast, and listen to it every single morning, alongside pray.com’s Bible in a Year (also animated, with Jack graham) and father Mike’s Bible in a year (daily scripture readings). Unfailingly, these three are a part of my morning routine, and I truly take pleasure in them all. They’re like balm ...
Read MoreConcise, Clear, and Informative
This podcast is amazing for trying to understand church history! From it I learned about many figures who were influential in the faith. It is understandable for beginners but also insightful for people who are more experienced in Christianity/Church history. Highly recommend!
EXCELLENT Church History Study
I have learned so much about church history while listening to this podcast. I love that each session is 20 to 30 minutes long, and Pastor Lance makes it very interesting!!!!
More than I even hoped for
This podcast is even better than what I was hoping to find. It is very comprehensive and well read. I’m about 15 episodes in and so glad that there are so many episodes ahead.
