Christian or Not is a history podcast that takes an honest look at the faith of some of history’s biggest names. Was Isaac Newton really a Christian? What about Charlemagne, Winston Churchill, Constantine, and other major figures from the past?

Join Mark and Troy each episode as they dig into their lives with careful research and biblical insight. We will be examining their beliefs, contradictions, theology, and lasting impact. We explore the messy but fascinating relationship between faith and culture through the lens of church history and apologetics.

This show comes from Revived Studios, the same team behind Revived Thoughts and Martyrs & Missionaries. 

New episodes drop every two weeks.

The book this episode is based on comes from an international high school library, tucked away in the back and completely unknown. Judith's story of coming to the faith as a Jewish girl in the midst of WW1 and the Russian Civil War is a little-known perspective that is both powerful and inspiring.
