The Godcast, Episode 333: What Screwed up the Early Church? (Hermas, Pt.1)

An audience member asked us about the Shepherd of Hermas last week. That gives us the perfect opportunity to examine and explain how the Early Church was a dumpster fire, just like today's Church is. Let's read from Hermas and see how God saves souls IN SPITE of the Church, not through it.
