Followers of the Way

‘The Identity of the Early Christian Community’

By: Blake Higginbotham

Narrated by: Larry Peterson

The earliest Christians were known not simply as believers or adherents of a new religion; they were called Followers of the Way. This title, taken from the words of Jesus Himself who declared, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”, reflected a profound understanding of what it meant to live in relationship with Messiah. To be a Follower of the Way was not merely to agree with a set of beliefs or participate in rituals. Instead, it was an invitation to a radical, transformative way of life—one that involved walking in the footsteps of Yahshua, embodying His teachings, and bringing His message of love, peace, and reconciliation to the world.

This book explores the meaning and significance of being a Follower of the Way, both in the early church and for Christians today. In a world often marked by division, indifference, and isolation, the call to follow Jesus as "the Way" remains as powerful as ever. This journey invites us to discover our own role as agents of Yahweh’s love and justice, sharing in the mission of Messiah and becoming part of His new, inclusive community.
