We get into: - How historians actually know what's true about the ancient past - Why the "Jesus never existed" theory keeps resurfacing online - Where Wes Huff's viral apologetics differ from real historical scholarship - Why the idea that "Paul invented Christianity" is a 19th century German myth - How the Apostolic Fathers reveal a strikingly Catholic early church - What actually happened at the Council of Nicaea - Matt’s personal journey from evangelicalism to the Catholic Church Subscribe and ring the notification bell so you don’t miss a single video!
