In this episode, we continue our reading of Didache chapters 5 and 6 and press deeper into what the text calls the Way of Death, not as a fear tactic, but as a diagnostic. The Didache does not treat sin as isolated mistakes. It treats it as a divided allegiance that slowly reshapes desire, speech, priorities, and worship.

Before we return to the text, we share what is unfolding in our own community through a new season of public ministry, including Prayer in the Pasture, Praise in the Pasture, and Community in the Pasture. These events are designed to model the disciplines the Didache assumes, prayer, fasting, embodied community, and practical formation outside the four walls of the church. We also introduce the Logic of God prayer line as a way to normalize vulnerability, build a real network of intercession, and cultivate confidence in prayer for both new and mature believers.

From there we move into Didache chapter 6, where the warning sharpens. See that no one leads you astray from this way of the teaching. We talk about how easy it is to drift when the church offers comfort without formation, milk without meat, and curated curriculum in place of Scripture. We explore the tension in the Didache’s command to bear the whole yoke of the Lord, and the mercy embedded in its realism, do what you can. Not as an excuse to compromise, but as a call to earnest obedience, one step at a time, in a life that is still being sanctified.

We close by wrestling with the Didache’s final warning about food sacrificed to idols and the worship of dead gods, not as ancient trivia, but as a window into the spiritual world the early church assumed. We talk about the danger of treating God as distant or inactive, the modern church’s temptation to function as if the Spirit is silent, and why the gospel itself is a declaration that rival powers are not ultimate. The call is simple and severe. Choose the Way of Life with your whole self, because divided allegiance will eventually hollow you out.
