About this listen

History of the Early Christian Church is a Christian history podcast telling the true story of how the church survived, grew, and spread in the centuries after Jesus and the apostles.

Each episode explores a real person, moment, or movement from the early church, bringing to life the faith, courage, suffering, confusion, and quiet perseverance of the first generations of Christians. From Roman persecution and underground worship to church fathers, councils, martyrs, and missionaries, this podcast traces how Christianity took root in a hostile world.

This is not a dry theology lecture or an academic history course. It’s a narrative-driven journey through early Christian history, designed to be accessible, thoughtful, and spiritually meaningful.

Through storytelling and historical context, the show reveals how God worked through ordinary believers, imperfect leaders, cultural pressure, political power, and steady faithfulness to build the foundation of the Christian church.

If you’re interested in early church history, Christian history, church fathers, martyrs, Roman persecution, and learning how the first Christians lived out their faith—this podcast is for you.

  • Nero’s Scapegoats: The Great Fire of Rome and Christianity’s First Crisis
    Jan 20 2026

    After the flames died down, Rome wanted justice. Nero needed survival. Christians paid the price. In this episode, we trace the events of the Great Fire of Rome and the emperor’s decision to accuse Christians of arson. Using ancient historians like Tacitus, we explore what really happened, how persecution unfolded, and why this moment became foundational to Christian history. This is the story of how a disaster turned into a defining chapter of faith under fire.
