John Bunyan's timeless classic, Pilgrims's Progress, has delighted and challenged its readers since 1678. However, almost two hundred years later, in 1843, American author Nathaniel Hawthorne published a short story, a modernized sequel to Christian's journey, that for whatever reason, has remained largely unknown and underrated. Hop on for today's episode, as Great in God's Sight brings you Part 1 of "The Celestial Railroad"!

Q: What eminent scientist spent more time with his Bible than in the book of nature, penned more than 1.3 million words on theological subjects, and wrote a major work on the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation?

A: Sir Isaac Newton. Although his name is unfailingly associated with gravitating apples, rainbow prisms, and advanced calculus, there's a side to him that many people are not aware of. Join us for our next episode of Great in God’s Sight as we discover the real faith behind the real Isaac Newton.

We'll be back soon with another inspiring story, but in the meantime, check out the incredible artwork, custom-created for today's episode on Boyle, at thegreatpodcast.org!

For those who have heard of Sir Robert Boyle, his name may invoke the image of a bewigged gentleman with curly locks falling far past his shoulders, or perhaps his contribution to the PV=nRT ideal gas equation that is a staple of chemistry courses. However, many do not know that this early Father of Modern Chemistry was a supremely devoted follower of Jesus who essentially blazed a scientific trail to defend his faith. Episode 3 of Season 2 is one you won’t want to miss, as we delve into the incredible, but virtually unknown, story of Sir Robert Boyle.

Then one night, everything changed. Find out what happened in this week's story!

Season 2 is here! Visit thegreatpodcast.org to enjoy special artwork, custom-created for today's story on Kepler. 

In today's world, science and faith are often perceived as in irreconcilable tension. But it is interesting to note that some of the greatest scientists in modern history were also people of tremendous faith. This week, as we begin Season 2 of Great in God's Sight, we will explore the life of renowned astronomer Johannes Kepler. Although his heart was set on becoming a minister, God had other plans for this scientific and mathematical genius. Join us as we journey through Kepler’s life story in our newest podcast episode!

Final episode of Season 1. Visit thegreatpodcast.org to enjoy special artwork, custom-created for today's story on Jerome, Cyril, and Methodius.

Imagine a world in which you must purchase numerous Scripture editions in order to possess a complete version. Each copy provides only a partial picture of the whole. Or perhaps, worse yet, the Bible isn't even available in your language. In this eighth and final episode of Season 1, we meet characters who were confronted with just such a situation. We hope their God-inspired solutions will impress and inspire you!

We'll be back next Sunday with another inspiring episode, but in the meantime, visit thegreatpodcast.org to enjoy special artwork, custom-created for today's story on Columba!

A century after Patrick evangelized Ireland, the Gospel desperately needed a new field of operation. Where would it be and who would be Patrick's successor? It has been said, “The hour produces the man.” In the sixth century, this came true when Columba, an Irish missionary, founded a church on the small island of Iona. Soon, his student missionaries began evangelizing the countryside in northwestern Scotland. God's guiding hand quickly took them throughout Britain and even to the European continent. Join us for Episode 7 of Season 1 as we delve into an exciting story of early missionary adventures!

To what cause would you be willing to devote your energy, sweat, blood, and tears for twenty whole years, with no guarantee of success?
