    The Crusades were not awesome

    Growing up, the Crusades felt like a black mark against Christianity for me — the perfect example of how religious zeal can spiral into suffering and persecution. What I’ve come to see, though, is that the Crusades had little to do with the teachings of Christ. They were not about His gospel of peace, or a reflection of early Christian communities, but instead they were about human power, greed, and suspicion. That’s what failed. What troubles me today is that, instead of learning from this, some voices are trying to twist the story and portray the Crusaders as heroes. In this episode, we’ll step back into history to explore the real origins and impact of the Crusades, and why separating Christ’s message from human misuse of His name matters now more than ever.

    History or Hoax? I Investigate the Resurrection

    From Skeptical to Convinced I share my story of historical inquiry into the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For six months I’ve been examining the naturalist claims that attempt to disprove the supernatural—and spoiler alert: none of them would earn an “A” in my classroom. This episode is a bit of a rant, and religion might not be your cup of tea, but if you love a mystery and an honest investigation, then stick around.

    Unit 731 - Japanese House of Horrors

    Have you ever been down a Wikipedia rabbit hole? Of course, you have. While some are fascinating, other tunnels are so dark you wish you never found them. But, rather than hide them away, it is the job of Historians to shine a light. This episode will cover my discovery of Unit 731, the Japanese Bio Weapons facility of WW2.

    George Orwell 1984 Prequel: The Great Reset

    In an alternate reality, on the brink of an unprecedented global revolution known as The Great Reset of 1974, our world stands poised to birth a digital library that encapsulates a singular, unquestionable truth. In this shifting landscape, veteran teacher John Herald grapples not only with the advent of this new order but also with a deeply personal struggle – a slipping memory that increasingly eludes his grasp. Haunted by a past that intertwines with his present, John delves into the mystery surrounding his father's fatal accident during the Great War. Amid this turmoil, his son Mark champions the new era, working ardently for the Ministry of the Core Library, a cornerstone of the Great Reset, driving a rift between father and son. As the countdown to the Reset ticks closer, the Heralds find themselves ensnared in a web of intrigue and deception that questions the nature of truth itself. Will John reconcile with his memory loss and navigate the discord with his son? Will the Heralds withstand the storm of The Great Reset, or be swept away by its powerful current?
