Today, we speak to Pastor Daniel Christie. Daniel didn't grow up in a Christian household but even as a skeptic, found Christianity. Now he works as a pastor and is passionate about sharing the Bible. In this episode, we cover the historicity of the Bible, archaeological evidence for it, as well as the canon of Scripture.

In this episode, Zanita talks to longtime friend of the show Maryellen Hacko, as well as Georgia, a new friend. The topic is the Sabbath, a much-misunderstood concept. Maryellen is a life-long Seventh-day Adventist but Georgia isnt, so their perspectives, while different, are nonetheless complementary.

The film charts a rocky period in American history, starting in the War of 1812 and going all the way into the late 19th century. It tells the story of a group of Christians convinced the world was going to end—and what happened to them when the world didn't.
