About this episode
Bible truth that transformed the ancient world is still available — most people just have no idea what it originally looked like. The first Christians had no buildings, no clergy, no prescribed rituals, and they ignited a movement that spread across an empire. If faith feels hollow or routine today, there is a reason.
Retired engineer and biblical scholar Mark Stouffer traces exactly how the early church functioned, what it lost, and why the gap between then and now explains so much of what people feel missing in their spiritual lives today.
