John Luke, Christian, and Zach witness Al’s unexpected confession about a “girly” habit that he swears by. John Luke offers his perspective on why God doesn’t reveal Himself in obvious, overwhelming ways, and why Jesus followed that same pattern during His life on earth. The guys wrestle with modern skepticism, pointing out that many people reject God for not acting the way they expect. They dig into early church history, exposing how ancient false teachings about Jesus’ humanity and divinity are still resurfacing today in new forms.  In this episode: 1 John 4, verses 1–3; 2 John, verse 7; 1 Corinthians 15, verses 1–8; John 1, verses 1–14; 1 Timothy 3, verse 16; 1 Corinthians 6, verse 19; Romans 5, verses 12–21 Today’s conversation is about Lesson 5 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert.

The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine’s writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it. Join us today to discover the improbable and miraculous story of Christianity.
