What is the Doctrine of Apostolic Succession?

Andrew and Lydia sit down to talk about the doctrine of apostolic succession and its importance in the church today. They cover the importance of words that have to be learned and interpreted: doctrine, evangelical, orthodox, catholic, and others. Then they dive into the concept of apostolic succession and how it connects to the authority for ministry in the church. Their conversation is connected to an article that Andrew recently published on the same subject in Firebrand Magazine (www.firebrandmag.com).
