Pastors: Join Lance on an exclusive Church History tour of Continental Europe (Registration ends soon!) - https://christianexpedition.com/tour/11125/ In this episode, we explore the explosive life of William Farel—the fiery red-bearded pioneer who blasted open the doors of the Reformation in French-speaking Switzerland. From idol-smashing confrontations to citywide debates and near-death encounters, Farel’s fearless zeal prepared the ground for Calvin’s later work in Geneva.

Is Shame from the Lord or the Enemy? LIVE Q&A
This week, Pastor David's Q&A begins with a question from Tammy, who asks: "Even though I have been saved since 16, I have done so many terrible things, including in my marriage. The Lord in 2023 gave me the dose of harsh reality that I was willingly disobeying and disrespectful to Him. God literally took that desire away and now I am praying every day to be in obedience. I did everything wrong with my former marriage and my children. My question is, is it the enemy in my head trying to get me to keep the shame and feeling like I am not forgiven? I know the Lord has forgiven me and I am so thankful that He didn't give up on me even though I deserved it. Just need some feedback. Thank you."

John Calvin: The School of Christ | Church History 93
In this episode, we continue the story of John Calvin’s later ministry in Geneva—his leadership, his controversies, and the weight he carried as both pastor and reformer. We look at his complicated role in the execution of Michael Servetus, the pressures and illnesses that marked his final years, and the enduring influence of his theology on Europe and beyond. From Geneva’s reforms to the spread of Calvinism through France, the Netherlands, and Scotland, this chapter shows how Calvin’s ideas shaped nations and movements long after his death.
