Ain't it been a while!? 2022 marks what will be our fourth year of this podcast which is essentially two friends who have an interest in faith and history. We are so grateful to God and to our listeners for supporting us along the way. We speak on how faith has played a part in historical events and love to see cultural and religious patterns and anomalies in through time. It's SO good to be back and this episode is the 1st of 2 parts where me and Luke discuss our families involvement in war and if we as a human race could really live without war.
