Christian history didn’t happen in isolation—it unfolded in the middle of empire, war, politics, reform, and human failure.

Christian History Podcast explores the true stories of the Church, major Christian figures, and pivotal moments that shaped world history. Each episode tells a narrative-driven story from church history—from the early Christians and Roman persecution to councils, reformations, missionaries, and modern movements—through a thoughtful Christian lens.

This podcast is for listeners who want more than surface-level theology or simplified church stories. Expect honest history, clear explanations, and meaningful reflection on how faith shaped the world—and how the world shaped the Church.

If you’re searching for a Christian podcast about history, church history, Christianity and culture, or faith and leadership, this show is for you.

  • 64 AD: The Fire of Rome, Nero, and the First Christian Persecution
    Jan 13 2026

    In 64 AD, a catastrophic fire burned for six days and devastated the city of Rome. As panic spread and public anger turned toward Emperor Nero, blame fell on a small and misunderstood religious group: Christians.

    In this episode of Christian History, we explore what really happened during the Great Fire of Rome, how Nero responded, why Christians became convenient scapegoats, and how this moment triggered the first state-sponsored persecution of the early church. We examine ancient sources, the executions that followed, and the traditional deaths of Peter and Paul—along with the political and cultural forces that shaped Rome’s reaction.

    This is the story of fear, power, and how a movement Rome tried to destroy only grew stronger.
