Description

In this episode of Theology for the People, Pastor Nick Cady is joined by Pastor Stephen Pomeroy from White Fields Community Church to explore the fascinating story of the conversion of the Vikings.

Stephen, who also hosts the Viking Legacy and Lore podcast, shares how his personal heritage sparked an interest in Viking history and mythology, and how he approaches it from a Christian perspective. Together we discuss:

  • What the Viking Age was and how it ended

  • The political and spiritual dynamics behind Viking conversion to Christianity

  • The concept of the monomyth and how stories across cultures point to the true story of Jesus

  • Parallels between Norse mythology and biblical truth

  • Lessons for engaging neo-paganism and modern spiritual seekers

This conversation blends history, theology, and mission — showing how God’s truth reaches across cultures and centuries.
