He started out wheezing through gym class, too slow for every sport—until he stumbled into the one team that didn’t cut anyone. What followed was a rise to glory, a fall in front of the world, and a quiet moment with an open Bible that changed everything. This is the story of how the fastest miler in the world discovered that the race worth running isn’t for medals or fame… it’s the one that leads you home to Christ.
Discover the extraordinary story of history's most influential figure in this powerful episode of "The Faith Behind the Story." Journey from a humble stable in Bethlehem to a cross outside Jerusalem, and explore how a carpenter's son from an obscure Roman province became the most transformative force in human history. With over 2.4 billion followers today and his words translated into 3,400+ languages, Jesus of Nazareth introduced a revolutionary concept of love that turned the ancient world upside down—teaching us to love our enemies, serve the marginalized, and find power in sacrifice rather than force. This isn't just ancient history; it's the blueprint for changing everything, one heart at a time.
Join us as we uncover how this radical message of transformative love continues to shape our world today and discover how you can be part of this ongoing revolution.
In the premiere episode of The Faith Behind the Story, we begin where all great stories find their meaning: with the life that changed history. Long before cathedrals rose or calendars reset, a child was born in a forgotten town under Roman rule. His story would split time, stir empires, and spark a movement that still reshapes hearts today. Before we explore the lives of saints, heroes, and rebels of faith—let’s begin with the One who started it all. This is the faith behind the story.
