In this last episode of the early church history series, we learn how the church in Rome rose to power during the fall of the Empire. Uniquely suited to governing roles, clergy quickly replaced the missing emperors and began a centuries' long role of raising kings. Listen for how they did it. *Church history series pauses here as we begin a new series for new believers*
