Jerry Sittser On the Early Church “Third Way”, Re-introducing a Christian Imagination, and Navigating Grief through a Redemptive Lens
How do we form resilient followers of Jesus in a culture where faith is no longer assumed?
In this episode, Jerry Sittser, professor emeritus at Whitworth University and author of Resilient Faith, joins Jason Ballard to explore how the early church thrived in a post-Christian world. He unpacks the lessons we can learn from the first Christians, the importance of discipleship over cultural Christianity, and how pastors can cultivate a church culture that shapes whole-life disciples. Jerry also shares personal reflections on grief, loss, and carrying both pain and joy with hope.
