The Original Church
What It Meant and Still Means to be a ChristianBy James L. PapandreaRecorded Track
Length3h 6m
About this audiobook
What if the Church was never meant to stay frozen in time—nor blown around by it?
The Original Church cuts through the noise of tradition versus trend to rediscover what Jesus actually intended when he said, "On this rock I will build my Church." The earliest Christians weren't stuck in the past, nor were they chasing relevance—they were rooted, growing, and guided by a clear purpose.
This book explores how the Church can develop without drifting, grow without losing its core, and how every believer can live with conviction in a world that keeps shifting.
The Christian faith is a compass, not a weathervane.
