On this episode of Jesus 911, William Albrecht is joined by Allan Ruhl of OnePeterFive for a historical deep dive into the events that led up to the Crusades and why Christian emperors ultimately turned to the papacy for help.
This episode sets essential historical context, helping listeners better understand the origins of the Crusades not as spontaneous wars of aggression, but as a response to real and escalating challenges within Christendom. It’s a must-listen for Catholics and history-minded listeners seeking clarity beyond modern caricatures.
