Episode 8 - William Bradford: A Pastor's Parting Advice
The parting of the Pilgrim church from their brothers and sisters in Holland was no doubt extremely difficult. One of the hardest aspects of the whole ordeal was that their beloved pastor, John Robinson, would stay behind. Robinson had faithfully taught God's Word to this group, immensely shaping Bradford's life and thinking. In this episode, we look at the decision to sail for North America and the parting advice Pastor Robinson gave to William Bradford and the Pilgrims.

Customer Reviews
Real Christian Christian History featuring Real Christians
I have really enjoyed this podcast. It starts with the story of a man that most have heard of, but know nothing about. I love studying puritans but knew almost nothing about his. What a godly man. Thank you for a somewhat personal history, rather than a dry coverage of the facts. I am glad to be part of such a rich heritage, and challenged by yet more members of the cloud of witnesses.
Great!
I’m absolutely loving this podcast. I’ve enjoyed listening to it with my family and using it as a springboard into deeper studies and conversations. We’re so very thankful for the content and hope for a long run. Thank you.
Awesome podcast!
I’m so excited about this new Church History podcast! The first two episodes have been very interesting and leaves me wanting to hear more. It’s also a great tool for homeschooling families.
