From Sin to Saint
From Sin to Saint
4 Episodes
Over the next four episodes, we will sit down with experts to examine the life and legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a saintly figure whose story has never been more relevant. In order to grasp the full weight of Bonhoeffer’s legacy, we need to understand the person behind the legend. Who was Dietrich Bonhoeffer? And what experiences in his life led him from a comfortable patriotic German childhood to a resistor of Nazi rule?

Why I Stay
Why I Stay
9 Episodes
There are lots of podcasts and articles about why so many people are leaving religion, but a more interesting question to ask is why people stay, especially those who have been judged, shamed, demonized, or abused by their religious communities. In Why I Stay, we tell stories of faithfulness in the face of judgement, hurt, and betrayal.

The Bible Brief Podcast
The Bible Brief Podcast
3 Episodes
Many people have tried to turn the book of Revelation into a tool for predicting the end of the world, but that's not what it's about. Yes, it has seven bowls, prophecy, and lots of strange imagery, but it was written to encourage followers of Jesus. Host Lori Denning is joined by Dr. Maclane Heward to sort through some of the popular misunderstandings about Revelation and to give some ideas about how it still applies to our lives today.

Deadly Faith
Deadly Faith
25 Episodes
Deadly Faith is a true crime podcast that explores the world where religion and crime collide. The world in which some people take their religious beliefs a tad too far. Maybe they hide their evil behind their 'Man of God' persona. Maybe they start a cult, commit murder, or even believe they're the second coming of Jesus Christ himself. It's not a world full of sunshine and rainbows, but it's a world that needs to be explored. That's where Laci and Lola come in. So get ready for some deep dives, hard truths, and even comedic relief as they tell these heartbreaking stories.
