In this installment of the pod, we look at the book of Acts, the sequel to Luke. Acts is a book full of-- you guessed it-- ACTS that the disciples and apostles perform while trying to establish the early church following Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension. The apostles and disciples were the first evangelists and church planters, responsible for helping the teachings of Jesus survive the next generation and to expand the number of people following Jesus across the Roman Empire (and beyond!). Each of these apostles and disciples had different gifts for ministry, their own approach to sharing the Gospel, and a particular understanding of what Jesus imagined the future would look like for his beloved community of followers. Because of these nuances and differences, Acts is a book full of examples for us of how the early church leaders could disagree well, while respecting each other, remaining steadfast and faithful, and opening themselves up to the possibility that there is more than one right way establish a church. There are plenty of lessons from Acts that still matter for us today, and so this week's podcast is definitely a worthy listen.You can listen to the accompanying playlist here.

This week on the podcast, we are covering the Gospel of Luke. Luke widens its perspective more so than any of the other Gospels to consider God’s overall historical purpose and the place of the future church within it. In its original form the Gospel of Luke and Acts were one book, written as one volume to show the transition from the ministry of Jesus to the ministry of the church. We will help lay the groundwork for next week's episode by diving into Luke!To listen to the accompanying playlist, click here.

This week, we are looking at the Gospel of Matthew! It is one of the three synoptic Gospels, sharing source material with Mark and Luke. However, Matthew is also full of plenty of original material, unique to this Gospel. Join Gabe and Whitney as they take us through some passages that are particular to Matthew.
