Customer Reviews
Thank you, Dr Nichols!
Love the history, love Dr. Nichols’ presentation. Nice way to begin a day.
Connect the dots of History
Not only Church history but ALL history is difficult to understand in both context and chronology. These 5-minutes fill in the blanks with people, their fascinating stories and also connect the dots from IN THE BEGINNING B.C. to this year of our Lord 2023.
Stephen Nichol’s 5 Minutes in Church History should be a requirement for every Christian who wants to know the foundation of Christ’s saints of our past,
Colossians 1:26 (LSB)
that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints
😇
I am not a Christian or Catholic or anything but I still want to learn about God this is the perfect podcast for me to do that in just 5 minutes thank you!
