Ancient civilizations devoted their lives to studying the stars. They mapped the heavens, tracked the planets, and believed the sky governed fate, kingship, and history. But in their devotion to the creation, they missed the Creator.
In this episode of It Makes Sense, we explore why the ancient world became obsessed with the heavens, how star-worship shaped entire empires, and how the Bible offers a radically different vision of reality. Scripture reveals the Creator of the universe not through the stars, but through His Word, through the nation of Israel, and ultimately through Jesus Christ.
This worldview didn’t just challenge pagan belief—it transformed history, even reshaping the Roman Empire itself.
If you enjoy thoughtful conversations at the intersection of faith, history, and big questions, this episode is for you.
