🚨 NEW EPISODE DROPS MONDAY MORNING 🚨

The early church didn't read 8 verses and call it a day.

We have a record from 156 AD. Justin Martyr wrote that when Christians gathered on Sundays, the Gospels were read as long as there was time.

Not a verse. Not a snippet. The whole thing.

Dr. Jeannine Brown says what we're doing today is a modern invention. And we are paying a price for it.

Think about it. Your Bible app gives you a verse every morning. Social media feeds you 30 second clips. Everything is a snippet. And somehow we think we're getting the full picture of Scripture.

We're not.

The early church sat down and read Matthew cover to cover. Nobody wanted to go home.

When's the last time you did that?

Episode drops Monday morning.
