What do BC and AD actually mean, and why is Jesus Christ at the very center of human history?

While BC does mean Before Christ, AD does not mean After Death. It comes from the Latin phrase Anno Domini, meaning “in the year of our Lord.” That distinction alone reveals something remarkable—history itself is divided by the life of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What BC and AD truly mean and how the calendar came to be

• Why Jesus Christ became the dividing line of world history

• How even modern attempts to rename BC and AD cannot remove Christ from history

• Why the exact year of Christ’s birth matters far less than His eternal impact

• How BC and AD are not only historical terms—but deeply personal realities

Dr. Tim also brings the discussion home by showing that every person has a BC (Before Christ) and an AD (the year of our Lord) moment. Salvation draws a line in the sand. Christ doesn’t just divide calendars—He divides destinies.

Whether you’re interested in history, theology, or the personal meaning of faith, this episode will help you think biblically, understand history more clearly, and examine where you stand today.
