CHT | S2E3: Christ the Head of Church History

Church History and Theology

Show Notes

Today's episode has us talking about headship and leadership. Both in the Invisible Church and the Visible Church. And wouldn't you know it? God is consistent everywhere He goes. The general idea is this: the only bottleneck of leadership ought to be on Christ; not on any other human or leader. Christ instituted a concept of multifocal leadership for the church: multiple apostles appointing multiple elders who enlist the help of multiple deacons. It is not a Christian habit to follow only one apostle or one pastor or leader.

Today's episode gives a conceptual dealing with the type of persecution of Christians by the Roman Empire at its height. Additionally, the responses of the church to preserve its faith by rightly expressing their beliefs, practices, and dispelling of myths give us a direct window into the early church in the wake of the Apostles' deaths.
