Primal Church 03: How did we get here?

Episode Description

The early church didn't drift into the modern church.

History changed it.

One emperor. A handful of political decisions. And a series of changes that still shape how millions of Christians experience church today.

This episode explores one of the most significant turning points in Christian history: the conversion of Constantine and the dramatic changes that followed.

What began as relief from persecution eventually reshaped the structure, leadership, and public expression of Christianity. We trace the historical transition from a decentralized fellowship of believers to an increasingly institutional church and discover how those changes still influence the way we practice Christianity today.

Together, we explore how we ended up where we are—and why understanding the past may be the first step toward recovering what we've lost.
