The Paths To Understanding Podcast

Intro to Christianity with Terry Kyllo

Pastor Terry Kyllo of Paths to Understanding will attempt an introduction to Christianity. Terry will begin by drawing out the meaning of Jesus’ invitation to discipleship “the kingdom of God has come near; repent and trust and act in the good news.” Terry will explore Jesus as a first century leader within the Abrahamic Tradition. This is especially important in a time when Christians are being called to recognize and repent of the distortion of faith wrought by Constantinian Christianity, the Doctrines of Discovery and centuries of white, Christian supremacy.
