Episode 569 - Matthew: The First Gospel

Today launches a new series on the Gospel of Matthew, challenging the modern claim that Mark was the first gospel written. In this episode, host Steve Wood explores how the Mark-priority and “Q source” theories arose, why they contradict 1,700 years of Church teaching, and how they weaken the apostolic authority of Matthew—especially Matthew 16. This episode calls listeners to approach Scripture faithfully, critically, and rooted in historic Christian tradition. For more resources, visit us online at
