Most of us didn’t choose how we think about Christianity—we inherited it.


The Mind of the Ancient Church is a podcast about uncovering the assumptions behind modern Western Christianity and rediscovering a far older way of seeing the faith.


Rooted in Eastern Orthodoxy, this podcast explores the mindset, "the phronema" of the early Church: how the first Christians understood God, salvation, Scripture, and the Christian life.


This isn’t about argument or debate. It’s about clarity.


Because before you can see the faith clearly…
you may need to unlearn how you’ve been taught to see it.


If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to Christianity than what you’ve experienced, your probably right and this is where that journey begins.
