In this thought-provoking episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister explore why modern Christianity in North America is facing a deep discipleship crisis and why many Christians struggle to live out their faith in a secular culture. Drawing from the practices of the early church, Nathan and Cameron discuss catechesis, spiritual formation, Christian habits, biblical discipleship, virtue, apologetics, worship, and the importance of teaching believers how to truly obey Jesus rather than simply consume Christian content. They examine how early Christians trained new converts through Scripture, doctrine, Christian virtue, and spiritual discernment, while also addressing topics like cultural Christianity, deconstruction, church leadership, spiritual warfare, Christian community, and the formation of Christian identity in today’s world. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in Christian discipleship, theology, church history, spiritual growth, apologetics, evangelicalism, Orthodox and Catholic traditions, and the future of the church in an increasingly post-Christian culture.
