TPT Ep1 - 1 Corinthians Introduction (Pilot Episode)
Episode 1: Introducing First Corinthians
In this opening episode of The Plain Truth, Travis Lunsford and Rick Owens begin a straightforward study of the book of First Corinthians. Before moving into verse by verse teaching, they take time to set the foundation by introducing the letter as a whole. The discussion covers who the Apostle Paul was writing to, why the church at Corinth needed correction, and how a saved people can still struggle with carnality, division, and confusion.
This episode walks through the historical setting of Corinth, the spiritual condition of the church, and the major issues Paul will address throughout the letter, including division, pride, immorality, misuse of spiritual gifts, and disorder in worship. Travis and Rick also emphasize the importance of reading First Corinthians as a corrective letter written to believers, not to lost people, and why that distinction matters for sound doctrine.
As always, the study is rooted in the King James Version of Scripture and presented in a plain, honest way. This episode lays the groundwork for everything that follows and reminds listeners that God’s Word is both loving and correcting. If you want to understand why First Corinthians is so relevant to the modern church, this is the place to start.
