How Did the Early Church Handle Conflict? || Acts 13-15 with Trevor Drudge

What did the early church in Acts do when controversy and cultural clashes came up? Joined by guest Trevor Drudge, we begin Part 3 of our series in Acts, where we look at the gospel spreading to the uttermost parts of the earth. Trevor walks us through Acts 13-15, looking at Paul’s first missionary journey and focusing on the pivotal Jerusalem Council. As the church started including Gentiles, there arose a conflict between the Jews and the Gentiles about whether Christians needed to follow Levitical law. This episode walks through Peter’s and James’s responses at the Jerusalem Council, examines the four prohibitions James proposes, and closes with a reflection on how the early church’s example of reaching unity amid disagreement applies to cross-cultural ministry and Christian living today.
