<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">After Jesus was crucified, what set the course for the future of Christianity? Usually, when great leaders die, their movements fracture and splinter due to infighting and struggle for power. The original teachings and ideas are highjacked and modified by those who would become the heir of the original leader’s legacy. In Acts, Luke presents the very different and utterly unique experience of the early Christians.</span></p>

Acts 1.9-11

This is a biblical exposition podcast, in which Clinton De France takes listeners on an educational journey through the Bible: book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse. While there aren’t many podcasts like this – dedicated to working through every sentence, phrase, and word in the Bible – this podcast has some other unique features. It represents undenominational Christianity; an effort to draw out the earliest and purest beliefs and practices of the followers of Jesus Christ during the time of Jesus and His apostles. Brother De France makes a concerted effort to avoid dogmatic traditionalism, subjective mysticism, and cynical liberalism in his teaching. If you hear something that challenges you, or something that you would like to challenge, brother De France welcomes correspondence and will release a special Question and Response episode once a month. Each time we begin a new book, brother De France will start with a short, non-exhaustive introduction before getting into the text. The text will be divided into related sections, sometimes consisting only of a few verses and sometimes stretching from one chapter into another as the context demands. We’ll give a title to each series reflecting what we have concluded about the general theme of the book.
