Excerpts of Christian Wisdom

Every week I go deep on one of Christianity's earliest voices — the men and women who carried the faith within living memory of the apostles, before the bureaucracy, before the theological arguments piled one on another, when it was still close to the source.

Their words have survived. And they sound like they were written yesterday.
I'm Jeff Thompson, author of Excerpts of Christian Wisdom: Ancient and New, publishing November 3, 2026 with Morgan James Publishers. For two decades I've been reading the mostly forgotten writers of the early church and saving the passages that caught my attention. This channel is where those voices come alive.

If you've ever been told Christianity was invented at the Council of Nicaea, or you've felt like your faith is a mile wide and an inch deep, or you simply want to know what believers in the line of those who actually knew the apostles believed, wrote, and died for — you're in the right place.

Stand on ground two thousand years deep.
