    #41 Can we live without war? Part 1

    #41 Can we live without war? Part 1

    Ain't it been a while!? 2022 marks what will be our fourth year of this podcast which is essentially two friends who have an interest in faith and history. We are so grateful to God and to our listeners for supporting us along the way. We speak on how faith has played a part in historical events and love to see cultural and religious patterns and anomalies in through time. It's SO good to be back and this episode is the 1st of 2 parts where me and Luke discuss our families involvement in war and if we as a human race could really live without war.

Eskomoe joe ,

An interesting podcast.

This is an interesting podcast on history and theology which I'm normally not interested in but the hosts make the podcast easy to listen to and I enjoy hearing the different perspectives on the various subjects covered. I also like the chemistry between the hosts, it strikes a good balance of seriousness but equalled out with plenty of laughs. Worth a listen if you are in the mood for something different in the podcast world.
