Customer Reviews
Incredible storytelling narrative and historical information
Would love to hear episodes on the Abrahamic Prophets, including Muhammad, Jesus, and Moses
My favourite podcast
I cannot articulate how much I love this pod. The narrative and lessons are second to none. I would love to pay a subscription if it meant we could get them more frequently. Incredible.

Ben’s research into each of these historical figures is excellent. He breaks them down in such a digestible way, it just keeps you coming back for more. If you want an abridged history lesson, this is where to find it!
