  • How One King Changed Christianity in England | Divorce, Power, & the Fall of Rome | Prt 1
    Feb 12 2026

    Case Suggestions? Send us a message here!

    In this episode, we examine Henry VIII and the split from Rome | the political and religious crisis that launched the English Reformation.

    Was it truly a Protestant revolution? Or was it a king’s struggle for power, control, and a male heir?

    We break down the “Great Matter,” Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the role of Pope Clement VII, Parliament’s involvement, and how the Church of England was created. We also explore why Henry VIII remained doctrinally closer to Catholicism than many people assume, despite breaking with the papacy.

    This episode looks beyond the drama of the six wives and into the deeper conflict between crown and church: a turning point that reshaped England and altered Christian history forever.

    If you’re interested in Tudor history, church history, the English Reformation, Catholic and Protestant conflict, and the political theology of 16th-century Europe, this episode sets the foundation for the series.

  • The Christian Mistake That Nearly Cost Me My Faith
    Jan 13 2026

    Case Suggestions? Send us a message here!

    In this episode of The Unseen Witness, I share a personal story about a mistake I made in my Christian walk. One that slowly pulled my faith away from Christ without me realizing it.

    This is not a political episode.
    It’s a reflection on faith, Scripture, identity, and what happens when Christianity becomes confused with culture rather than rooted in Christ Himself.

    In this episode, we explore:

    How easy it is to inherit beliefs without understanding them

    Why Scripture, Church history, and the lives of the saints matter

    What the Gospel actually asks of Christians

    How faith can be distorted — and how it can be restored

    This episode is for anyone who has ever struggled to reconcile belief with belonging, or felt distant from God while still calling themselves Christian.

  • A Church of Bones: What the Sedlec Bone Chapel Reminds Us About Death and Faith
    Jan 7 2026

    Case Suggestions? Send us a message here!

    In the small town of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic stands one of the most unsettling religious spaces in the world: the Sedlec Ossuary, a Catholic chapel decorated with the bones of tens of thousands of people.

    Skulls line the walls. A chandelier made entirely of human remains hangs overhead. And yet, this place was never meant to shock.

    In this episode of Unseen Witness, we step inside the Bone Chapel to explore what medieval Christians believed about death, burial, and resurrection and why bones were not hidden, but arranged in prayerful order. Far from a morbid attraction, the Sedlec Ossuary serves as a physical reminder of mortality, humility, and the Christian hope of eternal life.

    This episode examines the history of the chapel, the faith that shaped it, and what modern audiences often misunderstand about death in Catholic tradition. It is not a ghost story or a horror tale; but a meditation on faith, mortality, and what it means to prepare for eternity.

    Topics include:
    Catholic views on death and resurrection
    The history of the Sedlec Ossuary
    Medieval Christian burial practices
    Faith, mortality, and remembrance
    Why bones became sacred symbols
