Men After God

Unashamed Faith: Why Early Christians Were Called "Christians" and What it Means Today


Listen Later

In this episode of the Men After God podcast, host Luke Sorensen takes a moment to express heartfelt gratitude for the listeners and reflects on the powerful legacy of Charlie Kirk’s life and faith. Luke explores the historical origins of the term “Christian”—how early believers were recognized not by labels but by their visible faith, radical love, and courageous witness for Christ.

Drawing parallels between the early church and today’s cultural climate, Luke challenges men to live boldly and unashamed of their identity in Jesus, engaging their communities with the same faith-filled courage that marked the first Christians. This episode is both a tribute and a call to action for men to stand firm in their faith, embody authentic Christian love, and lead with conviction in a world that desperately needs the Gospel.
