Beyond Inherited Faith

If someone asked you why you belong to your church, would your answer be "because I grew up this way"?In this episode, we push past inherited religion to explore what it means to build an informed, confessed faith.Anchoring our conversation in Matthew 16, we unpack the true meaning of the ecclesia, the called-out people of God.  A community built on the confession of Jesus Christ.We also dive into distinct Baptist convictions, including local church autonomy, believer's baptism by immersion, and the historic debate that sparked the Missionary Baptist movement.Whether you're a lifelong member, a curious seeker, or evaluating your own theological roots, this episode will help you understand what you believe, why it matters, and how to live it out with purpose.*******Matthew 16:13  -  King James Version13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?*******Philippians 1:18  -  King James Version18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
