About this episode
This episode discusses the origin of the One Right Church and its implications for understanding the church's identity.
The origin story of the One Right Church is an important matter. How the church starts will shape what it becomes. That is the topic of this episode. How the church got started in the book of Acts tells us what kind of institution it is. We hope this discussion of the beginning of the church will help you distinguish between the One Right Church and the real church of Jesus Christ.
