SAVING CHRISTIANITY

An introduction to the Early Christian Lifestyle.  Tells why other people thought the original Christians were "a new race of humans," and why that fact has been "buried" for 1,700 years.  The episode opens a "Time Capsule" that reveals how to live today like an original Christian - with amazing results. 

A comparison of the original Christian lifestyle with how Christians live today.  Reveals the strange name Christians were originally called (it wasn't  "Christians").  Tells why the first Christians used the "fish" symbol, and why all Christians can – and should – live with more peace, healing, and hope in today’s confusing world.

Christianity is in a crisis today.  Millions are dropping out, hundreds of churches are closing, thousands of pastors leaving.  The average Christian is now no more Spiritual than a non-Christian – the opposite of how it should be.  This episode explains why this is happening and what to do about it.

This episode reveals the source of today's Christian crisis.  It's the story of Constantine, the murderous Fourth Century dictator who ended the miraculous original Christian lifestyle.  He's the creator of the formal, ritualistic, unspiritual, worship programs that Christians have today.  This episode is unique, with many new and shocking facts.

This episode describes the damage the Emperor Constantine did to Christianity.  He built the first "churches," and designed them like courthouses to intimidate worshipers.  He named "Sun Day," appointed royal "priests" to supervise worshipers, and much more.  These actions founded Institutional Christianity, and are the root of today's Christian crisis.

A comparison of two Organizational Designs:  One that promotes Spiritual growth, and one that suppresses it.  The suppressive design is dominant today and came from Emperor Constantine.  Thus, today's Christians have the "wrong ancestors."  Their worship services came from Constantine – not Early Christianity.  Happily, this episode gives the surprising solution.

Star of radio and TV, Manwell Grady, discusses Spiritual experiences with Owen and John.  The three are honest about their successes and failures in today's hostile society – but tell how today's Christians can live the "Early Christian Lifestyle" that the original Christians lived, with the same peace, love, and miracles. 

The details for "getting back to the basics" of Christianity, and for living the kind of supernatural life that the Early Christians lived.  The three ground rules for living the "Early Christian Lifestyle" – and the biggest mistake Christian teachers make today, with the five words that many Christians can't define. 

The convention that met in San Francisco to discover why there's so much trouble in the world.  The definition of a "natural" person, and the truth about human nature.  Where fear and hate come from – and the biggest challenge that people face, with one decision that every person must make.

An interview of Owen Allen, co-founder of the "Saving Christianity" podcast, by Shannon Wolfe, the podcast's producer.  Shannon probes Owen's life with vigor, asking questions about how Owen grew up in Florida – the miracles in his life – why he wrote the book, Saving Christianity – and why he co-founded this podcast.

An interview of John Shields, co-founder of the "Saving Christianity" podcast, by Shannon Wolfe, the podcast's producer.  Shannon questions John in a direct way about growing up on a Virginia tobacco farm – how becoming a Christian changed his life – how he became a pastor – and why he co-founded this podcast.

This episode is an honest exposé of the unique Spiritual event that changes a person into an infant Christian.  It describes how infant Christians are created, and what happens to them afterwards.  The show reveals what motivates infant Christians, and reveals a decision that every infant Christian needs to make.

A conversation between Shields, Wolfe, and Allen, the producers of the "Saving Christianity" podcast.  The three admit the consequences of living as infant Christians with true stories that are humorous, tragic, and surprising.  They confess their own struggles with Spiritual immaturity, and they reveal the true solution to the crisis.

A hard-hitting, truth-telling episode on Spiritual growth.  Includes First Century principles that few (if any) other books, radio and TV shows, or podcasts offer.  The episode opens the door to rapid Spiritual growth for Christians with specific instructions for how  to be Spirit-filled, and for how Christians know  they're Spirit-filled.

A fascinating probe by Shields and Allen, co-hosts of the podcast, into the controversial subject of "Spirit-filling."  Spirit-filling is one of the most important Christian experiences.  But what is it?  How does it happen?  Why don't more Christians experience it?  The co-hosts offer answers to all these questions and more. 

What is a "mature" Christian?  What are the benefits of "maturity"?  What role does the "Fruit of the Spirit" play?  Why do some Christians grow, while others don't?  What's the best "model" for growth – and are Christians using that model today?  This episode answers these vitally important questions and more.

What is happiness?  How many people have it?  Where does it come from?  How do we keep it?  This episode gives the facts about this elusive emotion.  It reveals the role that happiness plays in the lives of Christians and non-Christians, and reveals why so few people ever find it.

The incredible story of Paul, possibly the most Spiritual apostle.  Reveals the source of his Spiritual power, and how a rabbi named "Saul" from Turkey became the apostle Paul.  Tells how he escaped the Great Fire of Rome, and how he was beheaded in a meadow beside an Italian road.
