Before we can debate buildings, budgets, or strategy, it's probably important that we address a simpler question: what did Jesus and the apostles actually mean by “the church”? The New Testament presents the church not as a place but as a gathered people—living, mobile, and shaped to meet the needs of the world they were sent to. In this episode of The Postscript, we step into first-century Christianity to explore how believers met, why homes were so common, what their gatherings focused on, and which patterns were the result of circumstance and which were the result of biblical commands. The goal isn't to copy the early church mechanically, but to understand the principles that free churches today to adapt faithfully—so that our spaces serve the mission instead of defining it.Our guest today is Pastor Dan Reneau, faculty professor of Biblical Studies at the Living Faith Bible Institute. Dan has served on the front lines of church planting and now finds himself helping support and a new work in St. Louis, giving him both the perspective of a planter and the responsibility of helping church planters. Because of that experience, the question of meeting spaces is personal to how he understands the church's mission.Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore

“Did Constantine rig the Council of Nicea?” This question opens a discussion on early Church issues, including the specifics of the canon established at the Council of Florence and the complexities surrounding the organization of the early Church. Other topics include the role of Protestant pastors in critiquing Catholicism and the scriptural basis for attending Mass and confession. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:30 – Did Constantine rig the Council of Nicea? 07:51 – What is the specific canon of the council of Florence (1422) whereby the Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Coptics all agreed on the 73 book canon of scripture? 12:40 – How can we help stop this war in the Middle East? What can I do? 16:51 – How do I respond to a Protestant claim citing Eamon Duffy's book, Saints and Sinners, that Clement never makes the claim to be a bishop, that his letter from the whole Roman community (not just him), and that the church at that time was organized under a group of bishops, not a single bishop. 21:32 – Why do Protestant pastors feel compelled to put down the Catholic faith? If they don't believe it, why don't they just leave us alone? 29:12 – Where is it in scripture that we need to attend Mass once a week and go to confession once a year? And are there any exceptions for people who can't get there (like if they can't drive). 34:09 – Why do all of the apostolic Churches like the Oriental Orthodox have different canons on scripture and different christologies? 41:08 – If my mother and father are in Purgatory, do they know each other in Purgatory? Can souls in Purgatory pray for each other? 46:28 – In the early church, how did they know how to consecrate the bread and wine at Mass? 49:10 – How does the Catholic Church view the development of the election of a pope changing from Roman clergy to the College of Cardinals? 51:48 – I've heard people say that Peter and Paul had different gospel messages, and that since I'm American, I'm a gentile, therefore I should follow Paul instead of Peter.

Dr. Nathan Jacobs sits down with Fr. Joseph Lucas to discuss penal substitution atonement. The discussion examines the claim that penal substitution is the biblical and historic view of the atonement. Drawing on the writings of Cyril of Alexandria and other early Christian sources, Fr. Joseph Lucas explains how the Church Fathers understood sacrifice, sin, and the work of Christ very differently from later Western models.The discussion looks at the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, typology, and the meaning of Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension. The result is a picture of atonement centered on purification, victory over death, and the transformation of human nature—not a transfer of punishment.This conversation also explores how differences in biblical interpretation led to very different conclusions about what the Cross accomplishes.Support the East West Series: https://theeastwestseries.com/ Bio: Archpriest Joseph Lucas is an Orthodox Christian priest, theological scholar, college professor, and practical philosopher. He received his PhD in Theology at Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen (Netherlands) and his MDiv with Distinction in Church History and Patristics at St Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary (Pennsylvania).

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Justin Hibbard. Justin is a former Baptist pastor, a convert to the Catholic faith, and the host of the Why Catholic Podcast and Instagram profile – and he's here this week to share his incredible conversion story with us! As a pastor and worship leader, Justin had decades of evangelical church experience under his belt when he began to question some of the foundations of the evangelical church structure: which Church was the one founded by Christ? How do I find it? What was the Great Apostacy? When did it happen? These questions and more led Justin to look deeply into Church history and, to his surprise, the answers began to come back Catholic. This week on the show, someone so in love with Christ searing for him more deeply ... and ending up in the Catholic Church!

What is apostolic succession, and why does it matter? In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore how the Early Church understood the passing on of apostolic authority and why succession is about preserving the faith, not institutional prestige. Apostolic succession connects the Church today to the Apostles by safeguarding both doctrine and sacramental life. It is ultimately about faithfulness to Christ and the gospel entrusted to His Church.

Baptism is considered THE entrance to Christian faith -- but Christians vary widely in practice and belief on what baptism does, who it is for, and why we do it. So for part 10 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack this lines:"We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins."So we wade into the muddy waters of the River Jordan to ask: what is sin, what does it mean to be forgiven, and how does this apply when some people are literally infants when they are baptized? What does God do when we are baptized? And why is this significant that it only happens once? +++Like what you hear? We are an entirely crowd-sourced, you-funded project.

Women play an integral part in history, including in biblical history. In many contexts, they are seen as mere side characters, and often aren't even recognized with a name. However, we know that women are not just sidebars: they are main characters. They love, they birth, they lead, they prophesy, they teach, they heal, they wage war, and they testify.Author and Episcopal priest Rev. Alice Connor is here to share some of these women's stories with us today. She recently wrote the book, Fierce: Women of the Bible and Their Stories of Violence, Mercy, Bravery, Wisdom, Sex, and Salvation, which is a follow up to her book Brave: Women of the Bible and Their Stories of Grief, Mercy, Folly, Joy, Sex, and Redemption. Alice talks about how the Bible is R-rated because it is real, and our real lives (not the ones we post on social media for all to see) are definitely R-rated. When we read these women's stories within the Bible for what they truly are: raw, honest, full-bodied, and whole-hearted, we not only see them for who they are, but we see ourselves as well.About Alice:Rev. Alice Connor is an Episcopal priest and a chaplain on a college campus. She wrote Fierce: Women of the Bible and Their Stories of Violence, Mercy, Bravery, Wisdom, Sex, and Salvation, How to Human: An Incomplete Manual for Living in a Messed-Up World, and Brave: Women of the Bible and their Stories of Grief, Mercy, Folly, Joy, Sex, and Redemption.She co-wrote an article for the Journal for the Study of the New Testament called “Mantic Mary? The Virgin Mother as Prophet in Luke 1:26-56 and the Early Church.” That's academic-speak for “Hey, maybe Mary the mother of Jesus was more than a mom and actually had a word of challenge to speak to us? Just sayin'.”Alice is also a certified enneagram teacher and a stellar pie-maker. She lives for challenging conversations and has a high tolerance for awkwardness. She lives in Cincinnati with her husband, two kids, a dog, and no cats.Connect with us:Website: moveyourfaith.orgSubscribe to our weekly devotional: Embody FaithInstagram: @pastorkelseyb

The more we understand God's Word, the more we can love it and apply it to our lives. The Bible was written over a period of 1600 years, in over a dozen countries, on three continents, by 40 people in three differentlanguages. Through all of this, the Bible remained one story because it had one Author - God!
In this second lesson, we begin practicing the Early Church's fourfold approach to reading Scripture. Using Proverbs 31 as an example, we explore how the passage functions within the Hebrew Scriptures before considering its Christological, moral, and eschatological dimensions. Reading the text in this way reveals a depth that is often missed when the passage is treated as a simple set of instructions. The session seeks to model how Scripture, read within the life of the Church, continually leads us back to Christ.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

This episode discusses how the Son of Man receives worship/service ("pelah"), yet dismantles the assumption that this Aramaic verb applies only to God. We demonstrate that the verb "pelah" is flexible, accommodating objects of worship that include the Most High God as well as worthy human beings. We survey the use of this verb in Daniel, in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and in Targum Onkelos.

For part 10 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack this lines:"We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church."... which can feel strange, or outright ironic, when you are in a church that doesn't get along with ... the church across the street. How can we proclaim we are ONE church when Christianity is so obviously divided? How could the church 1700 years ago claim this, when division goes back to James and John vying to sit at the right hand of Jesus when he came into glory? We bring in scholar and priest, The Rev. Dr. Valerie Bailey, to speak with us and muddle through what it means to (1) be a church in the tradition of the apostles and (2) aspire for such holy unity. The Rev.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by one of the most dynamic Catholic theologians alive today and Jewish convert to Catholicism Dr. Lawrence Feingold. Dr. Feingold joins us to answer the question, "What are Protestants missing by missing out on the Eucharist?" and his answer is nothing short of astounding. Using the Old and New Testaments, church history, the Early Church Fathers, and the Jewish context of Jesus's ministry to unpack and help us to understand exactly what kind of Church Christ established, why the Mass is true worship, and what's going on with the Eucharist – including the Real Presence, John 6 unlocked, and more. It's a fantastic conversation.For more from Dr. Feingold check out his book The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice and Communion.Visit St. Paul Center's Emmaus Academy where you can see Dr. Feingold's newest course (amongst others) on the Eucharist.You can find more of his work including hours and hours of lectures at the Association of Hebrew Catholics.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

For part 9 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:"We believe in the Holy Spirit,The Lord, the Giver of Life,Who proceeds from the Father and the Son,With the Father and the Son S/He is worshipped and glorified;S/He has spoken through the Prophets."The Holy Spirit is probably God's most misunderstood person of the Trinity ... and yet, the one who is our Advocate, guide, Wisdom, and companion. So we spend a little time understanding where She fits in the big picture of Christianity, how we might discern between what is anxiety and the voice of God within us, and what exactly is the "Filioque" and the Great Schism debate about. +++Like what you hear?

What if the women of the early church weren't silent observers but powerful leaders, patrons, and apostles whose stories have been hidden for 2,000 years? In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Lynn Cohick, Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Houston Christian University and author of "Women in the World of the Earliest Christians," reveals how archaeological evidence, ancient inscriptions, and business documents completely transform our understanding of women's roles in early Christianity. From Lydia's influential house church to Phoebe's role as Paul's patron, from Mary Magdalene's true identity as a businesswoman to Junia's recognition as an apostle, Dr. Cohick exposes how prescriptive ideals from ancient philosophers masked the descriptive reality of women's actual lives and leadership.Dr. Cohick's decades of research illuminate how women navigated complex social structures through informal power networks, benefaction systems, and household authority. She explains how the house church model created unexpected leadership opportunities, how women maintained financial independence through dowries and personal property, and why understanding the actual social context of the first century radically changes how we interpret Paul's controversial passages about women. This conversation reveals how recovering these hidden stories isn't just about correcting history - it's about unleashing gospel transformation in our churches today.In this episode you will learn:How women served as patrons and benefactors who financially supported Paul's ministry and the early churchWhy Mary Magdalene was likely a successful businesswoman, not a prostitute, and how this misidentification happenedHow the house church model gave women authority and leadership roles we often overlookWhat archaeological evidence like tombstones and inscriptions reveal about women serving as deacons and synagogue leadersHow understanding patronage and reciprocity systems explains Phoebe's powerful role as Paul's prostatisWhy Paul's "women be silent" passages make sense when understood in their specific chaotic contextsHow Jewish women and God-fearers navigated between synagogue and church in joining the Jesus movementWhat Junia's story tells us about women being recognized as apostles in the early churchHow women's financial independence through dowries and property ownership gave them unexpected agencyWhy recognizing women's informal influence patterns transforms how we read the New Testament todayConnect with Dr. Lynn Cohick:Center for Women in Leadership: leadershipwithoutapology.orgHouston Christian University: hc.eduBook: "Women in the World of the Earliest Christians: Illuminating Ancient Ways of Life" Stay Connected with Johnny Ova & The Dig In Podcast:Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow Johnny: https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGet Johnny's Book "The Revelation Reset": https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H
In this opening session of a new series, we consider how the Early Church read the Scriptures and why that way of reading still matters. Beginning with foundational assumptions—practice over theory, reading within the Church, and seeking communion with God Himself rather than mere head knowledge—the lesson introduces the fourfold pattern often called the quadriga. These four “horses” of interpretation (historical, Christological, moral, and eschatological) offer a framework for reading Scripture in a way that ultimately points us towards a fuller vision of Christ.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

I put a lot of time into preparing our hearts for Christmas, but often I just let Easter sneak up on me. If I'm honest, I don't really know how to go from the twinkle lights of Christmas into the darkness of winter, and think ahead to spring and the celebration of resurrection. I get a little closer every year, but culturally, we aren't given a template for what this looks like, so it really feels like swimming upstream. Every year, about this time of year, sickness after round of sickness keeps hitting and I'm really tired. I had decided I was going to coast into the season leading to Easter, when I saw the title of Elyse's book pop up in my inbox. It felt like a sign to reconsider. Last year I attended my first-ever Ash Wednesday service and shared about it. I was shocked and discouraged to have a lot of negative comments on that post. People assumed we were veering away from "normal" Christianity. So, before we get started, Elyse, can you tell us about the practice of Ash Wednesday and the faith roots, and what denominations practice it? How does this holiday help us to bridge from winter to Easter? I've come to really love Advent practices. Remembering who we wait for and how long Israel waited has given me a lot of peace in the brokenness of the world. What have Christians traditionally remembered and what spiritual disciplines have they attempted to cultivate between Christmas and Easter? One thing I love about your work is the way you always circle back to grace. How do we keep these practices from feeling legalistic? If shame starts to creep up... maybe we intended to celebrate differently this year, and it's just not going to happen. How does thinking of Jesus as the "friend of sinners" cover or remove that shame?

For part 8 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.Ok so Jesus was born (Christmas), lived and did ministry and healed and taught and stuff, then was killed (Good Friday), and rose again (Easter) before he ... ascended into heaven. It's a big deal, but probably the most confusing part of his story on earth? So we called our most-listened to guest, our brilliant friend, the Rev. (future-Dr.!) Kelli Joyce, to unpack this for us. (Her previous episode with us, "What is Confession?" remains our #1 episode ever!) The Rev. Kelli Joyce is an Episcopal priest and a PhD student at Vanderbilt University.More of her work is here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAcZY-jo5lEhttps://www.christiancentury.org/contributor/kelli-joyce +++Like what you hear?
