In this episode, we turn to Didache chapter 7 and step into one of the most debated and misunderstood practices in Christian history: baptism. The early Church does not treat baptism as a casual ritual or a mechanical transaction. It treats it as covenantal allegiance. After teaching the Way of Life and the Way of Death, only then does the Didache speak of baptism. Why does formation come before immersion? And what does that order tell us about the heart behind the act?

We walk through the Didache’s instructions carefully. Baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Use living water if possible. If not, use what you have. Fast beforehand. The emphasis is not on spectacle or office, but on reverence, preparation, and intention. The act is simple. The posture is not. We wrestle with modern controversies around infant baptism, rebaptism, salvation formulas, and altar calls, asking what allegiance truly looks like in light of Scripture and early Church practice.

As the discussion unfolds, we reflect on the difference between John’s baptism of repentance and baptism into Christ. We consider whether baptism saves, whether it must be done a certain way, and whether discomfort, fasting, and communal participation were meant to protect its weight from becoming routine. We also confront the danger of treating sacred acts like magic words or emotional milestones rather than covenantal commitments.

This episode invites listeners to reconsider baptism not as a checkbox or a performance, but as a public declaration of loyalty to the King. It is a call to reverence, to preparation, and to remembering that Jesus himself entered the waters, not because he needed cleansing, but because covenant demands visible allegiance.

In this episode, we continue our reading of Didache chapters 5 and 6 and press deeper into what the text calls the Way of Death, not as a fear tactic, but as a diagnostic. The Didache does not treat sin as isolated mistakes. It treats it as a divided allegiance that slowly reshapes desire, speech, priorities, and worship.

Before we return to the text, we share what is unfolding in our own community through a new season of public ministry, including Prayer in the Pasture, Praise in the Pasture, and Community in the Pasture. These events are designed to model the disciplines the Didache assumes, prayer, fasting, embodied community, and practical formation outside the four walls of the church. We also introduce the Logic of God prayer line as a way to normalize vulnerability, build a real network of intercession, and cultivate confidence in prayer for both new and mature believers.

From there we move into Didache chapter 6, where the warning sharpens. See that no one leads you astray from this way of the teaching. We talk about how easy it is to drift when the church offers comfort without formation, milk without meat, and curated curriculum in place of Scripture. We explore the tension in the Didache’s command to bear the whole yoke of the Lord, and the mercy embedded in its realism, do what you can. Not as an excuse to compromise, but as a call to earnest obedience, one step at a time, in a life that is still being sanctified.

We close by wrestling with the Didache’s final warning about food sacrificed to idols and the worship of dead gods, not as ancient trivia, but as a window into the spiritual world the early church assumed. We talk about the danger of treating God as distant or inactive, the modern church’s temptation to function as if the Spirit is silent, and why the gospel itself is a declaration that rival powers are not ultimate. The call is simple and severe. Choose the Way of Life with your whole self, because divided allegiance will eventually hollow you out.

In this episode, we begin our examination of chapters 5 and 6 of the Didache, where the text turns sharply from formation into warning and names what it calls The Way of Death. This is not a philosophical category or a list of abstract evils. It is a lived path, marked by habits, dispositions, and unchecked desires that slowly pull a person and a community away from God.

We walk through the opening contours of the Way of Death, paying close attention to how the Didache organizes its warnings. Violence, pride, greed, sexual disorder, dishonesty, and misuse of power are not treated as random sins but as interconnected patterns that reinforce one another. The text assumes that moral drift does not happen all at once. It happens through repetition, justification, and silence.

As the discussion unfolds, we reflect on why the Didache places such heavy emphasis on speech, authority, and self rule. Why does the early Church see arrogance and unrestrained desire as signs of spiritual decay? How does this ancient framework challenge modern ideas of autonomy, self expression, and moral flexibility? And why does the Didache refuse to soften the language around consequences?

This episode invites listeners to begin a sober reckoning with formation gone wrong. It is the first step into the Way of Death, not to induce fear, but to sharpen discernment. Before the text calls believers back to repentance and restraint, it demands honesty about where certain paths actually lead.
