We're not your grandfather's church history podcast. But we'd also really appreciate it if he still listened.
Saints, heretics, councils...and the occasional crazy stuff. We have fun.

Church History for Chumps
Ambrose of Milan: A Bishop with a Shepherd's Heart
Have you ever been 'volun-told' to do something? Maybe volunteer for setup at your church, or work the sound board?
Imagine being 'volun-told' to lead one of the most influential dioceses in the nation, when you're not even a baptized Christian yet.
That would be the story of Ambrose of Milan, a kind-hearted young man with a soft spot for diplomacy. He comforted the unruly masses in Milan so successfully, that the people demanded he fill the vacant Bishop seat, despite having no formal ministry experience or theological training. And you thought stacking chairs was hard.
Join us for a fun, fun, fun time! Shoutout to Singapore btw. And to our best pal Ewan, you can skip to like, idk, the 8 minute mark to avoid the banter. We appreciate you bro.
(The banter ends at 8:26)
