EYES ON JESUS PODCAST
with Drew and Tim
DREW BARKER + TIM FERRARA
AUDIO PODCAST
The early church described in the Book of Acts is often either placed on a pedestal as the ultimate blueprint for all churches or dismissed entirely as a product of its time. But is either approach actually helpful? In this episode 108, Tim and Drew take a deep dive into what the Acts Church really was—a Spirit-led movement full of passion, generosity, and community, but also marked by conflict, growth pains, and real human struggles. They unpack how modern churches often idolize Acts 2 while ignoring the rest of the book, and challenge listeners to rethink whether Acts is meant to be copied or simply understood and applied with wisdom.
This conversation explores what the modern church can learn from the early believers—especially their devotion to prayer, radical hospitality, bold obedience to the Holy Spirit, and deep fellowship with one another. While methods and models may change, the values and spiritual practices of the early church still carry weight today. Whether your church is tempted to rely too heavily on strategy or is at risk of losing its spiritual fire, this episode calls for balance, clarity, and a return to the roots of authentic, Spirit-empowered community.
