About this conversation

In this raw and provocative episode of the Disciple Standard Podcast, we ask the hard questions: Would Paul, Peter, or the early disciples even recognize what we call "church" today? We dive deep into: • The true biblical definition of church vs. our modern building-centered model • Why the early church met in homes, underground cities, and public spaces • The Pros Worship Service experiment (Public Scripture Worship) in Fort Pierce • Why one new believer said: "I hate Reckless Love" • Psalms vs. modern worship songs — Can your conscience be bound to songs written by "Cody"? • Church planting: Expensive buildings vs. viral, low-cost multiplication • What happened when Christianity went from persecuted to powerful in 313 AD This episode will challenge your assumptions about what "going to church" really means. If you're tired of surface-level Christianity and want to think deeply about worship, community, and mission, this is for you. - Timestamps: - https://disciplestandard.com/ Support the Podcast - https://www.patreon.com/c/DiscipleStandardPodcast Visit our church - https://sunlightchurch.com/ Connect with us - https://multiply222.com

We’ve Been Reading the Psalms Wrong

Have modern Christians lost something in the way we read the Psalms? This week on The Disciple Standard Podcast, Scott takes us deep into his research on how the early church understood the Psalms—and why writers like Athanasius and Origen saw Jesus throughout the entire Psalter. The conversation explores Psalm 78, the parables of Jesus, prayer, worship, and the surprising idea that the Psalms don't simply tell us about Jesus—they may actually teach us to pray with Jesus.
