NEED RESOURCES PLEASE
To whom it may concern, I can’t find another way to contact yall, so here we go writing a review! I found your episode on Martin Bucer very informative and am writing a paper on him for my Church History II class. I would love to know what your resources were so that I can see them myself for my paper. Thanks, Katy

The beginning of a love for the “family history”
I often go looking for more information on the topic of the week or add another book in the Amazon wish list. It’s sent me on a special commission to learn our “family history.”

Quick history bites.
These short lessons are informative as well as encouraging. Learning about those who have gone before us gives one a sense of connectedness to believers throughout time. Thank you.

Still So Much to Learn
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

Godly podcast by a godly man of
This podcast is filled with truth from Scripture and the historical accounts of church history within the body of Christ. Nichols is a humble and godly man, who stands firm on the foundational principles. He is excellent at explaining theology, exegesis, and biblical hermeneutics of Scripture.

Learning new things about our faith
I came upon this podcast by accident and am now listening to all episodes. They are truly inspirational in the furthering of my faith. I just finished the two part “Faith in Times of Plague” and think everyone should listen to them. I will be recommending them to all I know! Thank you so much die the great woe! Go’s bless you!

10% fantastic!
It’s telling when a podcast that claims to cover Church history spends 90% of its time and efforts focusing on the most recent 500 years of church history, and almost all of that is Protestant. That is to say, 75% of the history of the Christian Church is almost completely ignored, and that which is covered is done pretty myopically. If they only knew what the Cappadocian Fathers or John of Damascus would have thought about Calvinism.

Bite-sized history lessons through people’s stories
Thank you, Dr. Nichols, for creating these bite-sized Church history lessons. Five minutes per week may not seem like a lot of time to learn about church history, but as I listen week after week, the gaps in my knowledge and understanding are being filled in. I especially appreciate your highlighting people who lived through what is history to us now. No better way to learn history than through people’s stories!

Makes history accessible for the rest of us
Like putting a puzzle together, Dr. Nichols fills in the interesting details of our Christian heritage one piece at a time.

Inspiring and thoughtful church history
We enjoy listening to Dr Nichols drawing out of church history to get us to be more thoughtful Christians. More aware of what I read and more thought into message I’m leaving for the next generation.

Best Podcast I’ve Ever Found
I’m a pastor of a tiny country church who wants to continually renew my mind and learn about the Bible and Church history. This podcast does a great job of teaching, and all in small, listenable segments. Always light and positive, I thoroughly enjoy every one I listen to and have written down many subjects to study further and books to find based on their topics. Keep it coming!

Good for binge listening
Started listening recently. I binge listen when doing work down in my basement. Learning lots of great things I’d otherwise be ignorant about. Picking up good book recommendations along the way. Pleasant and informative podcast.
