Simeon Bachos: The Ethiopian Eunuch Who Carried the Gospel Across a Continent

Episode #57

 

Welcome to another episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints. And this week, we are going to journey into one of the most powerful and overlooked stories in early Christianity — the conversion of Simeon Bachos, the Ethiopian eunuch of Acts 8.

 

This episode uncovers the global world of ancient eunuchs, the deep Jewish roots of Ethiopia, the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant, and how one man’s encounter with Philip ignited one of the world’s oldest Christian civilizations. From the Queen of Sheba to King Ezana, from Isaiah’s prophecy to the waters of baptism, discover the “rest of the story” that Paul Harvey would have loved — a story of faith, identity, inclusion, and divine destiny.

Why Christianity is True Series

 

Welcome to another special BONUS episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints and our continuing series – Why Christianity is true.   And this week, we are continuing our discussion of the evidence for Jesus Christ with a focus on the hostile witnesses to Christianity.    

  

Across the ancient world, the enemies of Christianity left behind testimony they never intended to give. In this special episode we explore hostile witnesses — Roman senators, imperial historians, pagan satirists, Syrian philosophers, and even distant Chinese chroniclers — whose writings unexpectedly confirm the historical truth of Jesus of Nazareth.

 

We examine the records of Tacitus, Suetonius, Pliny the Younger, Lucian of Samosata, Mara bar Serapion, Thallus, Phlegon, and others. These men did not believe in Jesus. They did not defend Christianity. Yet their words preserve independent confirmation of His life, His crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, the explosive growth of His movement, and even the strange cosmic signs reported at His death — the midday darkness and the earthquake.

 

We also explore the Nazareth Inscription, Claudius’s decree on grave tampering, the Alexamenos Graffito, and newly uncovered geological evidence from the Dead Sea that aligns with the Gospel account of the Crucifixion Quake.

These voices — skeptical, hostile, and often contemptuous — form one of the most powerful bodies of external evidence for the historical Jesus.

Saint Maximilian Kolbe: Martyr of Charity

Episode #56

 

Welcome to another episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints. And this week, we are going to discuss a modern Saint, a true example of Christian heroism in the midst of the horrors of World War II – Saint Maximillian Kolbe.

 

We will explore the life, mission, and heroic sacrifice of Father Maximilian Maria Kolbe — the Polish Franciscan who offered his life in place of another prisoner at Auschwitz.

 

This episode traces Kolbe’s childhood visions, his fierce devotion to the Immaculata, the founding of Niepokalanów (the largest monastery in the world at the time), and his groundbreaking media apostolate that reached millions through radio, print, and global missionary work.

 

As World War II engulfs Poland, Kolbe’s courage intensifies: sheltering refugees, confronting Nazi authorities, and ultimately being arrested and sent to Auschwitz as Prisoner 16670. In the starvation bunker, Kolbe transforms horror into hope — leading prayers, strengthening the dying, and offering himself as a living witness to Christ’s love.

 

Through historical records, eyewitness testimony, and spiritual reflection, this episode reveals why Saint John Paul II canonized Kolbe as a “Martyr of Charity,” and why his legacy continues to inspire Christians, scholars, and seekers around the world.

The Best‑Documented Life in Ancient History: Why Jesus of Nazareth Cannot Be Dismissed

Bonus Episode

Why Christianity is True Series

 

Welcome to another special BONUS episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints and our continuing series – Why Christianity is true.   And this week, we are delving into the documentary and archeological evidence for the life of Jesus.   

 

This episode brings you face‑to‑face with one of the most striking facts in ancient history: Jesus of Nazareth is the single best‑attested figure of antiquity. Through manuscript evidence, archaeology, and comparisons with Buddha, Zoroaster, Confucius, Muhammad, Alexander the Great, Caesar, Plato, and Aristotle, we reveal how the historical record surrounding Jesus is unparalleled.

 

From the garden discovered beneath the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, to the Pool of Siloam, to the Dead Sea Scrolls, to the Tel Dan Stele confirming the House of David — the stones, the scrolls, and the hostile witnesses all converge on one conclusion: the world of the Gospels is historically real.

 

We dismantle modern myths, confronts viral internet claims, and shows why the documentary evidence for Jesus is not only strong — it is overwhelming.

Zeitgeist Debunked: Jesus is NOT a myth

Welcome to another special BONUS episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints and our continuing series – Why Christianity is true.   And this week, after eleven establishing the rational case for God’s existence, we confront the most viral modern conspiracy: the claim that Jesus never existed.

 

Using the actual historical record, early Christian sources, and real Egyptian and Roman texts, this episode dismantles the Christ Myth Theory, exposes the errors of Zeitgeist, and shows why comparisons to Horus, Osiris, Mithras, and other “dying-and-rising gods” collapse under scrutiny.

 

We explore why these myths spread so easily online, why biblical literacy has collapsed, and why Jesus remains the single most influential figure in human history. This episode sets the stage for the next part of the series: the historically grounded case for Jesus of Nazareth.
