About this podcast
Welcome! This is a podcast for any of you who are a little bit curious about this thing called christianity. It aims to be fun, curious and enlightening.
Presented by:
Rob Bethell, who was an agnostic atheist, who investigated other religions, only to overcome his prejudices and misunderstandings of christianity to eventually become one himself.
Rev. Martin Little, who, having been raised a catholic, left the church and christianity, only to become a vicar in the Church of England in his thirties.
Find out why and how they changed their minds about Christianity, whilst having a laugh along the way!
