Episode Description

Most people think Constantine “made Rome Christian.” But the truth is far more complex—and far more instructive for the Church today.


In this episode, we explore:


How Constantine legalized Christianity without legislating it

Why he continued to support pagan temples

How the early Church actually grew through Word and Sacrament, not law

Insights from Scripture and the Church Fathers on faith, power, and God’s providence


We’ll read from John, Acts, Romans, and Matthew, and hear from Tertullian, Clement of Rome, Augustine, and others.


Join us as we uncover the real story of Constantine, the growth of the Church, and God’s unstoppable work through His Word.
