What You'll Discover

What is the Didache?

An overview of this ancient text-a practical discipleship manual for new Gentile believers in the first-century church.

The Two Ways

Explore the core teaching of the Didache: the Way of Life versus the Way of Death, and what each path entails.

Early Church Practices

Discover how the early church handled baptism (immersion in living water), fasting, and communal meals.

Testing False Prophets

Learn the practical tests the early church used to identify 'Messiah-peddlers' and freeloaders in their midst.

Why It's Not Canon

Understand why this valuable text was never included in the New Testament and why it fell out of use for centuries.

End Times Prophecy

A look at the Didache's clear, apocalyptic vision of the end times, including two resurrections and a great falling away.

Convicting First-Century Instructions

The Didache is not a book of abstract theology; it's a practical guide to holy living that is as challenging today as it was 2,000 years ago.

On Discernment & Generosity

"Let your donation sweat in your hands until you know whom to give it." The Didache commands radical generosity but also shrewd wisdom, instructing believers to support true teachers and the poor, while guarding against freeloaders and false prophets who ask for money.

On Moral Purity

The text explicitly forbids practices common in the Greco-Roman world: "Do not murder children through abortion nor kill them after they have been born." It also condemns sorcery, magic, astrology, and sexual immorality, drawing a hard line between the Way of Life and the Way of Death.

What Viewers Are Saying

This conversation is resonating deeply with our audience.

"Congrats on the book launch Caleb."

- @CleverCroc

"This is so convicting. The early church took holiness seriously in a way we've totally lost."

- @discipleofTheWay

"The part about scrutinizing travelers and prophets is mind-blowing. We need that discernment back in the church today."
