    #3 - What is the Track?

    People today are asking the question“Am I on the right track,” which then begs the question, what actually is The track? Join Dr. Mark Masucci and Nathan Hughes as they establish what “the Track” is. Moving from Jesus, to the Apostles, to the Early Church, they will discuss how The Truth and The Faith were established. Looking at passages in Paul’s letters and elsewhere in the New Testament, they will demonstrate how very early on The Church sent Christianity on a specific trajectory. This trajectory is The Track we are looking for. Topics within: - What is the track? - What is “the Faith” and “the Truth”? - What trajectory did the Apostles and Early Church send us? - What is Dogma? What is Doctrine? How do we know the difference between? youarehereccc@gmail.com
