Church History for Chumps
We're not your grandfather's church history podcast. But we'd also really appreciate it if he still listened.
Saints, heretics, councils...and the occasional crazy stuff. We have fun.

Hey, have been binging through this podcast after hearing about it from Bippity Boppity Betz! (Aka, Better Bryan) I absolutely love it!! It's so amazing and well done.

Thank y'all for doing what you do -Luke
