    It's been three years since Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses to the Castle Church door at Wittenberg. Now the pope's envoy is knocking on Luther's door, and the message is dire. Today, travel back to October 10, 1520, to witness why Luther was called to recant his teachings and what was at stake if he refused.

    Oct 16 2020

    In the eyes of Pope Leo X, Martin Luther is a boar running wild in his vineyard, and this pest needs to be hunted down. Today, Leo turns to Luther's patron, Frederick, to help him take the rebel captive.

Simply Amazing!!

I have grown up listening to Christian audio adventures (Jonathan Park, Adventures in Odyssey, G.A. Henty). I am fifteen now, but still love great audios. This is an amazing way to both learn church history and strengthen your faith. Ligonier Ministries is being used by God in amazing ways, and have impacted me personally. Thanks for your Christ centered work.
In practical ways everything is great from the cast to the music. Thank you so much for this impactful podcast!

Dramatic story telling = best 15 min. of the day

This podcast is perfect for a lunch time break or the person on the go who wants a great historical storyline told in dramatic fashion. Nothing boring about the story of Martin Luther; surely nothing boring about this podcast.
