Join Pastor Lance Ralston in this captivating 70th episode of Church History, as we discover the forgotten Christian history of the Middle East during the Mongol Empire. From Genghis Khan’s religious tolerance to Hulegu's Christian alliances, and the brutal shift to Islamic persecution under later Khans, this episode uncovers how Mongol rule shaped Coptic and Nestorian Christian communities. Learn how massacres at Arbella (1310) and Amida (1317) devastated ancient churches, and why these events still echo in today’s religious tensions. A powerful prelude to the Reformation—told from the East. Let us know in the comments!
