English Reformation

In Reformation Women, Rebecca Vandoodewaard introduces listeners to 12 16th-century women who are not as well known today as contemporaries like Katie Luther and Lady Jane Grey.

The Reformation unfolded in the cathedrals and town squares of Europe - in Wittenberg, Worms, Rome, Geneva, and Zurich - and it is a stirring story of courage and cowardice, of betrayal and faith. The story begins with the Catholic Church and its desperate need for reform. The dramatic events that followed are traced from John Wycliffe in England, to the burning of John Hus at the stake in Prague, to the rampant sale of indulgences in the cities and towns of Germany.

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) has positioned itself as a movement of divine restoration, claiming to reestablish apostles and prophets with unique authority in the Church. However, its leadership has repeatedly failed to uphold the biblical standards required for those in spiritual authority, particularly regarding the moral character and integrity of high-profile leaders. Rather than addressing and removing leaders who fall into sexual immorality, the NAR has developed a culture of excuse-making, covering up scandals, and even justifying blatant moral failures. This stands in direct ...

Faith should be more than rituals and routines. It should move you, challenge you, and shape the way you live. That’s exactly what Pietism set out to do.

Its impact still ripples through churches, communities, and hearts today. This isn’t just history—it’s the story of a movement that made faith personal. Pietists believed that Christianity wasn’t just about ...

Scripture reveals King Jesus started something very different than what we commonly encounter today. The Church Jesus brought forth in the first century, despite its trials and temptations, was united, loving, faithful, and powerful. It ruled spiritually. It “turned the whole world upside down” through evangelism (Acts 17:6). It produced faithful Believers and loving martyrs. What happened to it? Can it emerge again? YES! • The New Covenant leadership Jesus initiated ...
