About this listen

They were silenced—but their faith still speaks.

Witnesses is a podcast that brings to life the true stories of Christian martyrs—ordinary men and women who chose to follow Christ, even when it cost them everything. From ancient Rome to the Reformation to modern-day persecution, each episode immerses you in the courage, conviction, and unshakable hope of those who laid down their lives rather than deny their Savior.

These are not just stories of death. They are stories of fierce love, defiant faith, and the eternal power of a life surrendered.

Whether you're looking for inspiration, history, or a deeper sense of what it means to carry the cross, join us as we remember those the world was not worthy of—and listen to the witness they still bear.

The blood of martyrs is still the seed of the Church.

Written and produced by Benjamin Michael with inspiration from Jesus Freaks by DC Talk.

Theme music is Oxygen by Kings Kaleidoscope.

    Wrunken: The Voice in the Wall
    Jul 29 2025

    In 16th-century Flanders, a young woman named Wrunken chose faith over fear—refusing to renounce her beliefs even as authorities sealed her alive inside a brick wall. In this episode, we explore the story of a martyr whose voice echoed from within the stones, whose courage defied silence, and whose faith still speaks centuries later.

    This is not just the story of how she died—it's the story of how she worshipped when no one was watching.
