Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity!
Host Stephanie Pavlantos welcomes Bible teacher and Bible in Order podcast host David Doty, who shares his late conversion at 26, rapid entry into pastoring, and current family life. Doty explains how a daily devotional evolved into his podcast and led him to start a five-days-a-week Zoom prayer gathering inspired by Acts 2:42, emphasizing consistent discipleship, mutual care, shared participation, and reported answers to prayer including a healing from melanoma.
The discussion contrasts modern auditorium-style church with early house-to-house life and explores “ecclesia,” arguing it originally meant a governing assembly empowered to bind and loose rather than a religious service. They connect ecclesia to Israel’s priestly calling and believers as ambassadors, highlighting humility, prayer, and tribulation as God’s means of transforming character to resemble Jesus.
