"This Pastor Tried To Kill Hitler" | Ordinary Legends 006 | Dietrich Bonhoeffer

from Idlewild Students · host Idlewild Baptist Church

In this episode of the Ordinary Legends Podcast, we breakdown the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a brilliant theologian and pastor who refused to stand down when Nazi Germany took over the church. His story shows us what it looks like when faith costs everything—from running an underground seminary to joining a conspiracy against Hitler, all while holding fast to the truth that following Jesus demands real obedience, real courage, and real sacrifice.With every episode, we're solving real-life struggles by studying ordinary people who became legends in the faith when they risked everything for the gospel. Their stories give us practical ideas on how to deal with issues like fear, doubt, perseverance, and how to be bold with our faith.
