Episode 154: Why church history is bigger than the New Testament (Dyron Daughrity)

Church of Christ folks sometimes have an uneasy relationship with church history outside of the New Testament. In a tradition that esteems the Bible as the singular authority and pattern for the church, it may feel weird or wrong to explore church history from other sources. Dr. Dyron Daughrity is a Church of Christ kid who not only grew up to be a local Church of Christ minister, he became a historian. And not just a historian; Dr. Daughrity recently became the next president of the American Society of Church History. In this episode, Dr. Daughrity argues that the project to restore primitive New Testament Christianity encourages knowing the history of the church in the 2,000 years between Acts of the Apostles and today. He also makes the case for Church of Christ folks exploring their more recent roots in the Stone-Campbell Movement. For fun, he reveals the characters and events in recent Church of Christ history that may not be household names, but are worth knowing and studying.

On Wednesday, April 1, four astronauts blasted into space for a historic mission to the far side of the moon.

As the BBC reported, Captain Glover took his Bible with him more than 250,000 miles from Earth. This episode is a replay of Captain Glover's May 2023 conversation with The Christian Chronicle Podcast, when NASA first announced that he would be part of the Artemis II mission to the moon.

Episode 152: Who belongs in a national Church of Christ directory? (Dr. Suzie Macaluso)

Church of Christ lifers may remember Churches of Christ in the United States, an annual directory of, you guessed it, all Church of Christ congregations in the United States. The last edition came out in 2018. In 2024, The Christian Chronicle, Heritage 21 Foundation, Siburt Institute and 21st Century Christian formed a partnership, the Church Research Council, to resume publication of Churches of Christ in the United States. But making a directory of Church of Christ congregations is not as easy as it may seem. First, there is the challenge of tracking down 10,000 to 12,000 independent congregations across 50 states and territories. Then there's the fact that some congregations will resist participating for a variety of reasons, including how creating a directory feels "denominational" to congregations that avoid anything that resembles that label. And then there's the harder question of all: What is a "Church of Christ" and who gets to decide? In this episode, Dr. Suzie Macaluso, the lead researcher on the Churches of Christ in the United States project, talks about the challenges and implications of the directory on how Church of Christ folks imagine themselves and how they relate to one another.

Detroit Earned “City Of Champions” In 1935 And Here’s How - Ep 119

Send us Fan Mail Champions Day Live from the Detroit Historical Museum. The 90th Anniversary a special conversation on April 18th 2026. Detroit didn’t just have a good sports year in the 1930s. Detroit had a stretch so absurd that it turned into a civic identity, a national headline, and an official holiday: Champions Day. We’re recording from the Detroit Historical Museum on the 90th anniversary, surrounded by artifacts that make the “City of Champions” story feel immediate again, from game used Red Wings sticks to the infamous plaque that declares Detroit’s status in ink and signatures. Here is the story from Episode 31 on Champions Day 2021 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1897861/episodes/9657795 We talk through the wins that built the legend and the overlooked details that make it stick: the Lions and their Portsmouth Spartans roots, the grudges and pride that followed the move, and how early pro football chaos helped shape rules we still watch every Sunday. One of our favorite moments comes from seeing how a new generation discovers this history, literally riding a train from Kansas City after falling into a research rabbit hole and deciding the story was worth the trip. The conversation keeps widening, because Detroit sports history is never just about sports. We connect the dots to civic spirit, the Great Depression backdrop, museum preservation, and the personal memories that hit hardest when a long lost radio voice comes back through a speaker. If you care about Detroit history, NFL history, the Portsmouth Spartans, the 1935 Lions title, or how a city holds on to its identity, this one is for you. Subscribe for more deep Detroit stories, share this with a friend who loves sports history, and leave a review so more people can find Champions Day. What part of the City of Champions story should we dig into next? https://linktr.ee/DetroitCityofChampions www.DJJamieDetroit.com www.WearingFunny.com

Episode 147: Church of Christ history for the next generation (Luke Dockery and Jared Pack)

Kids and young adults growing up in congregations with "Church of Christ" signs on their buildings have honest questions: "Who are we? How did we become who we are? Why do we do what we do?" These are important questions for young Christians trying to decide whether to remain with the church of their upbringing or strike out in search of something different. And, if "restoration" truly is essential to Christians who identify with the Church of Christ, then it must be a fresh practice for each new generation. These are the reasons why Church of Christ youth ministry veterans Luke Dockery and Jared Pack wrote Origin Story: Churches of Christ and the Restoration Movement. The book, which uses comic book illustrations and fast-moving, punchy language, seeks to orient a new generation to Church of Christ history. In this episode, the authors discuss why church history beyond the New Testament is still crucial for present-day Christians to learn and study. They also make their case that restoring the New Testament church is always a present and future pursuit and never a past-tense accomplishment. Thus, restoration demands both an awareness of history and an orientation toward emerging generations.

Episode 150: How a church from the 1920s is still ahead of its time in the 2020s (Harold Shank)

How many Church of Christ congregations in the United States baptized 8,000 people in their first 20 years? Central Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee, did. Forming in 1925, the Central Church of Christ did not choose to assemble in the desirable, fast-growing, upwardly-mobile parts of Nashville. Rather, the congregation chose to put down roots in the highest-crime, highest-poverty part of town. Backed by philanthropist A.M. Burton, Central Church of Christ activated a dazzling array of community services and ministries that would seem ahead of their time even today. Led by minister E.H. Ijams, the congregation operated from the belief that announcing the kingdom of God and practicing neighbor love are one and the same. In this episode, Ijams's protege and student, Harold Shank, talks about the legacy of Central Church of Christ and what congregations around the world today can learn from it today.

Episode 149: How the church can make peace in a world that seems to want war (Tryce Prince)

These days, the heat and wind of the political environment is kindling even in some Christians what seems to be an appetite for rage, revenge and violence. When the church of Christ allows itself to be set ablaze by politics, how can it demonstrate the grace and peace of the kingdom of God? How can it bear witness to the reconciling and redemptive work of Jesus Christ? How can it be a refuge for those who are exhausted and wounded by the acrimony of our times? Recorded in late 2025, this conversation with Tryce Prince addresses these questions head-on. Prince is director of the Carl Spain Center on Race Studies and and Spiritual Action at Abilene Christian University, contributes to the Good Culture Show podcast and writes at the First Sunday Substack. He recently published an essay, "Fighting Fire with Plants" in Christianity Today. As the church searches its soul and tries to find solutions to the crises of these times, Prince points to a branch of the Christian family tree from recent history. The Black church in the United States responded to hateful and violent circumstances in the 19th and 20th centuries by cultivating a "beloved community" of proactive and purposeful love and peace-making.

We Taste Three Forgotten Bottles And Argue About What Belongs In An Old Fashioned

Send us Fan Mail Orphan bottles are the most honest kind of tasting, because nobody is trying to “win” with a hype label. We grab what’s been left behind in the studio, pour it, and let the whiskey tell on itself. That turns into a lively flight that jumps from 2XO French Oak bourbon with a surprisingly big oak driven nose, to a punchier Sagamore Spirit Double Oak rye that brings spice, dark fruit, and a sharp finish that divides the table. We also go deep on cocktail culture for home bartenders who want more than the same old two builds. Old Fashioned riffs lead the way, including a Clint Eastwood Old Fashioned that sneaks in Green Chartreuse and blurs the line between Old Fashioned and Manhattan. That opens the bigger question: when a bottle is hard to find, where do you actually get it? We share real talk on the Chartreuse hunt, measured pours, and why the right local spot can suddenly have what every shelf is missing. The night keeps swerving into fun territory: New York cocktail ideas that sound insane on paper, a quick debate on weird ingredients, and a blunt verdict on a lighter blended Canadian pour that just doesn’t hang with the heavier hitters. Then we end with a show-stopping sample of Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged, the kind of high proof bourbon that reminds you what “full-bodied” really means. If you like whiskey tasting notes, bourbon vs rye debates, cocktail recipes, and Detroit bar culture, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review so more people can find the happy hour.

Episode 146: How can our Christian colleges keep margins from replacing mission? (Joshua Travis Brown)

Declining birthrates in the United States will drive down college enrollment over the next 15 years. Some experts predict that hundreds of small private colleges and universities will close. Of the 14 colleges and universities in the Church of Christ family tree, as many as ten of them have characteristics that put them at higher risk in the new higher education market. Many of these schools are innovating in ways that cut costs, increase operating margins and revenue and at least give them a chance to grow or maintain enrollment enough to survive. But will a necessary focus on margins lead to less focus on mission? Dr. Joshua Travis Brown, assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Education and research fellow with the Center for Skills, Knowledge and Organizational Performance at the University of Oxford, shares what he found when he researched how small private colleges are managing tradeoffs between margins and mission. That research appears in his book, Capitalizing on College: How Higher Education Went From Mission Driven to Margin Obsessed (Oxford Press).
