COACH: Church Origins and Church History is a Christian podcast from Bob Baulch that explores how the church grew, suffered, worshiped, and changed the world — one generation at a time. Hosted by a passionate Bible teacher with a heart for truth and revival and research, COACH brings history to life with verifiable sources, captivating stories, and deep theological reflection. From Roman persecution to forgotten revivals, every episode is a fresh look at how God’s people lived and died for the gospel — and what it means for us today. No fluff. No fiction. Just powerful, proven history that strengthens your faith.
