We all have that family member who is obsessed with the family tree, perhaps that uncle or that aunt that knows the exact year that your family immigrated to the United States. Family members like this help us to understand our history and heritage and have a stronger personal identity.
What about our faith lineage? What about our spiritual history, the legacy of those that helped establish the worldview that we often take for granted? Knowing our heritage as Baptists is an important and worthwhile endeavor.
On today's show, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute Brandon Briscoe sits down with Jim Alter, Pastor of Grace Baptist Church of Sidney, Ohio. Jim is the co-founder and editor of the Ancient Baptist Press. Jim is also the coauthor of a book called Why Baptist? The Significance of Baptist Principles in an Ecumenical Age.
