Filter Podcast: Glenn Sunshine on the Lesser-Known Heroes of the Faith

by | Church History, Culture & Society, History, Podcast

Today, I have the pleasure of welcoming back historian and professor Glenn Sunshine, who specializes in the Reformation era and has authored several books on Christianity and culture. He’s here to talk to us about his latest book, 32 Christians Who Changed Their World, which highlights the lives of lesser-known individuals who made a significant impact for the kingdom of God. From Vikings to queens to founding fathers, Glenn shares with us why he chose to focus on these individuals and what we can learn from their stories. This conversation was a blast and I am sure you will enjoy it.
