The Church History Matters Podcast was started by Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths, two university religion professors, with the goal of explaining complex topics they only had limited time to teach in class. Lack of context in church history can lead to misunderstandings which may cause people to lose faith. The podcast aims to clarify and add context to complicated topics. Scott Woodward spoke to BYU-Idaho Radio about the purpose of the podcast and how it began.
