We're Getting Church Wrong! An Interview with Tom Wadsworth, PhD.

Описание: In this video, popular Australian podcaster Caleb Corneloup interviews Dr. Tom Wadsworth, who has done extensive research into what NT church gatherings really looked like. Dr. Wadsworth explains how most churches today miss the point of the Christian meetings. He reveals how Christian assemblies in the New Testament were not designed to be places of worship, rather they were meant to be places where believers gathered together to edify one another. During the interview, recorded Dec. 3, 2024, Caleb revealed that he hasn't been to church in years!
