Über diesen Titel

Saints in History is a Christian history podcast telling the true stories of the men and women whose faith shaped the church after the New Testament.

Each episode explores the life of a real Christian saint, martyr, missionary, reformer, or faithful believer from church history, bringing to life their courage, suffering, devotion, doubts, failures, and extraordinary trust in God. From the early church and Roman persecution to medieval saints, reformers, and modern Christian heroes, this podcast tells the human stories behind Christian faithfulness.

This is not a collection of legends or idealized biographies. It’s a narrative-driven journey through post–New Testament Christian history, showing how God worked through imperfect people, ordinary obedience, cultural upheaval, and sacrificial love.

Through storytelling and historical context, Saints in History reveals what real holiness looked like in different centuries—and how the faith of past believers still speaks to Christians today.

If you’re interested in church history, Christian biography, saints, martyrs, missionary stories, Christian heritage, and learning how faithful believers lived out their faith across history—this podcast is for you.

  • Fire, Lies, and Martyrs: The True Story of Rome’s Burning and the Christians

    Fire, Lies, and Martyrs: The True Story of Rome’s Burning and the Christians
    Jan 19 2026

    Did Nero really fiddle while Rome burned? Or is that the wrong question entirely? In this episode, we separate legend from history as we explore the Great Fire of Rome and the brutal aftermath for early Christians. We’ll look at how rumors formed, why Christians were so easy to demonize, and what actually happened to believers in Nero’s circus gardens. This is a story about narrative control, public fear, and how Christianity survived its first major encounter with state-sponsored violence.
