About this episode

This episode explores the early church's identity as 'People of the Way' and their mission in the world through the lens of the book of Acts.

Long before believers were called “Christians,” they were known as People of the Way —followers of Jesus whose lives reflected His movement in the world. This series walks through the book of Acts, exploring how the early church lived, served, and shared the gospel in a changing world. As we study their story, we’re challenged to rediscover what it means to be the church today—faithful, united, and always on the move.
