[PODCAST] What REALLY Happened During the Crusades? with @BillFederer

About this sermon

How much do you know about the history of the Crusades? Were they unprovoked attacks by Christian armies, or was there something deeper at play? In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the facts behind one of history’s most misunderstood events. In response to your requests from our recent podcast survey, Frank welcomes historian Bill Federer of American Minute to explore the truth about the Crusades. Tune in as Bill unpacks its historical backdrop, revealing why Europe took up arms to blunt the rise and expansion of Islam. During their conversation, Frank and Bill will answer questions like: -- Did the Crusaders know the Bible? -- What did the Pope promise the Crusaders? -- How did Islam originate, and how did it expand so rapidly? -- Did Christianity spread as a direct result of the Crusades? -- What would have happened to Europe if the Crusades had never taken place? -- Were the Crusades an example of Just War? -- What was Muhammad's involvement in the slave trade, and what sparked the onset of the Dark Ages? -- What happened on the crusades that cannot be justified? If you’ve ever struggled to answer objections about Christianity and the Crusades, you won’t want to miss this episode of 'I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist'! Bill’s engaging storytelling will bring these historical events to life and offer valuable insights into the series of events that led to each major Crusade. Since there’s only so much we can cover in one episode, be sure to check out Bill’s book, 'What Every American Needs to Know About the Quran', for a deeper dive into the history of Islam and its impact on Western civilization!
