What happens when faith feels fragile in a world that feels fractured?

In this episode of The Unbound Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Darren Provost—historian, professor and contributor to the documentary series Unbound: The Bible’s Journey through History—to talk about chaos, conviction and the quiet strength it takes to stand for truth without losing love.

Darren specializes in the history of Christianity during the late Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Reformation. With a PhD from Yale University and years of teaching at Yale Divinity School, Southern Connecticut State University, Queen’s University and Trinity Western University, he brings deep scholarship to the table. But this conversation is not academic for the sake of information. It’s about what history teaches you when the Church is under pressure, when culture feels unstable and when believers are trying to discern how to respond.

We explore questions that feel incredibly current:
How do you hold conviction without becoming combative?
How do you love your neighbor without compromising truth?
What can figures like Erasmus, John Wycliffe and Jan Hus teach us about courage, discernment and spiritual wisdom today?

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to live faithfully in a polarized culture, this conversation will ground you. It reminds us that chaos is not new, reform is not new and God’s Word has outlasted every attempt to silence it.

History is not just about the past. It’s about who you choose to become in the present.

Watch, listen and lean in.
