In this special episode recorded live at the TSF Pastors Conference in Pismo, we sit down with Jerry Harris—pastor, leader, and publisher of Christian Standard—to unpack the powerful story behind one of the oldest Christian publications in America.
From its origins in 1866 during the aftermath of the Civil War, Christian Standard has been the voice of the Restoration Movement—calling believers back to the simplicity and power of the New Testament church. Jerry takes us through its remarkable history, the cultural moments it has helped shape, and the lasting influence it’s had on generations of leaders.
But this conversation isn’t just about legacy—it’s about what’s next. We explore how Christian Standard is innovating in the digital age, equipping leaders, and fostering unity among independent Christian churches. From rich archives and Bible study resources to thought leadership and community-building, Jerry shares how the magazine continues to be a vital tool for the Church today.
Whether you’re new to the movement or have deep roots in it, this episode is packed with stories, insights, and reminders of why we do what we do—for a purpose.
