"Awwww here it goes."
--Kel Mitchell, Kenan and Kel

We're back in the early church again, which means we're into the story of Christian persecution in the Roman Empire.

The 3rd Century was no pleasant time for the Romans, Christian or not. Through a series of civil wars, external threats, and economic woes, the Empire was closer to collapse than ever before.

This growing instability would not bode well for the Christians. While the faith was steadily growing, the leaders of Rome will be increasingly desperate to correct course for their sinking ship. That will lead to newer, and harsher periods of persecution.

Thanks for tuning in! As always, make sure YOU don't persecute your religious neighbors today. And follow our instagram. And buy us a coffee, if you want (link below).
