Welcome back from the Martyr’s Day Break. But! Were the Uganda Martyrs really saints or spies for the Europeans?

Did missionaries like Alexander Mackay bring salvation—or colonialism wrapped in a white robe?

This is a thought-provoking episode of Lovin Truth, and we sit down with Tonny Bukenya, a student at African Bible University with a deep passion for Ugandan Church history, to explore the truth behind the Martyrs’ legacy, the state of Buganda before the missionaries came, the role Europeans played in shaping faith and identity in Uganda, and what the Martyrs mean to the body of believers in Uganda.

We also highlight the story of Alexander Mackay, a Scottish missionary and engineer whose sacrifice, commitment, and impact are deeply woven into the roots of Christianity in Uganda.
