We're not your grandfather's church history podcast. But we'd also really appreciate it if he still listened. Saints, heretics, councils...and the occasional crazy stuff. We have fun. IG: @churchhistory4chumps

In the 12th Century, Saladin is steadily gathering the infinity stones of Islamic territories. Mosul, Aleppo, Damascus. The threat of a united Islamic front appears plausible, and this is a terrifying reality for the Cru
It's pretty fascinating to look at the idea of 'church membership' through a historical lens. It's fair to assume that the early church probably wasn't having people fill out visitor cards or handing out coffee mugs with
The Second Crusade was, for all intents and purposes, filler content. Not much land traded hands, the Franks kind of embarrassed themselves, not many crazy battles. Boring, am I right? The Third Crusade though? That's wh
This one goes out to all our pals in California. And anyone who really likes gold. The early half of the 19th century was a massive time of western expansion in the United States. One of the most fascinating movements am
Who wants to go on a trip?! Our journey through the Crusades have brought up an interesting topic: what's the deal with Christians traveling far and wide to visit so-called holy sites? Well join us today as we dig deeper
Let's take it back old school for a minute. In the 4th century, the church was moving a little differently. In the east, Greek was still the common language, and they were loving the easy access to the earliest biblical
Did you know that jet fuel can melt steel beams? Or wait, it can't. I'm not sure anymore. People love conspiracy theories though. There's something very punk rock and anti-establishment about deciding that we don't accep
Who doesn't love a little Indiana Jones reference, right? It seems like the Western Christian world has been fascinated for ages with the mystical (and possibly magical) qualities of such objects like the Shroud of Turin
"So great was the disaster of the army and so inexpressible the misery that those who took part bemoan it with tears to this very day." The Second Crusade failed to capture lightning in a bottle a second time. What was p
The Second Crusade has begun. Louis VII and Conrad III, respective Kings of France and Germany, have gathered their troops and are prepared to walk in the footsteps of their crusading forefathers. Their troops eagerly an
The year is 1144. The County of Edessa falls to the Seljuks. The first major blow to the Crusader States takes place, and the Latin Franks have to decide their response. Generations have passed since the successful first
Sometimes the doctrinal and cultural differences that exist within the Christian church can feel overwhelming. We want to live united within the Body of Christ, but we also want to honor truth and our own church traditio
The rumblings of the Second Crusade have begun. But before that, we have to set the stage with one of the most influential figures, not just in rallying troops to take up the cross, but in all of medieval Christianity: B
Just War Theory seems to be a phrase that's thrown around a lot lately. But where does it come from? Who does it come from? And why is it still relevant today? For this episode, John and Taylor are going to dive into the
You know, when Taylor and John meet with our Board of Trustees every third Tuesday, we usually ask the same question: Where was the whimsy in the last episode? This week, we're pushing whimsy on all cylinders. We're here
Dyed eggs, pastel colors, and of course the Easter Bunny, a Claus-esque creature of the night that brings good tidings to pious children. When you take a step back it really does feel a little strange when we consider th
Many modern observers of trends in Western Christianity have rightly noted a move away from the 'low-church' worlds of typical non-denom and Baptist fare, in favor of a more Anglicanish, fancy-hat-wearing-vibe. If you as
Deconstruction feels like a big 2017 idea. Talking about it today feels kinda dated. But you know what? CH4C didn't exist in 2017. So here we are. Deconstruction, popularized by folks like Joshua Harris or Rhett and Link
The "dark ages" really get a bad wrap, if you ask us. The phrase tends to make you think of something from a Monty Python skit: a toothless peasants, constant famine, and a wildly corrupt and inept church. And while ever
July 15th, 1099. The walls of Jerusalem are breached by the Crusaders, and finally the holy city has been conquered by the Franks. To some, a long and arduous road was finally coming to an end. But for many more, things
