Was the Early Church a Dinner Church? with Dr. Mike Graves

Why did the early church focus more on food than sermons? And how should that affect how we do church today?

Join us for a fascinating conversation with scholar and author Dr. Mike Graves. Delve into the early church's expression of the agape feast and how it informs and prophetically influences today's dinner church. This episode is perfect for church planters, church history nerds and everything in between.

Dr. Mike Graves is author of Table Talk: Rethinking Communion and Community. He serves as scholar in Residence at Country Club Christian Church in Kansas City, Missouri.

What is Dinner Church Podcast?

Dinner Churches are starting all over North America. Why? It's not just that they are an effective, affordable, and contextual approach to church planting. They also follow in the footsteps of Jesus and the early church, who made disciples and cultivated community around the table.

In this podcast, you'll be led by J.D. and Heather, two longtime pastors now leading Dinner Churches. You will hear from theologians, historians, and other Dinner Church practitioners.

Any ordinary church can start a Dinner Church. The Dinner Church Podcast will teach you how.
