Ken Hensley and Matt Swaim begin a series looking at the life and thought of Martin Luther, and how his experiences shaped him to become the initiator of the Protestant Reformation.

They begin by looking at Luther's early years, and how his family life and his time leading up to entering the monastery formed him to understand God, and were the seed of theological ideas that would take form later on and lead to a fracture in Christendom.
