Are there still Apostles in the church today? In this episode of Cage-Free Theology, Clint Archer and Will Brannon dive deep into the biblical definition of an "Apostle." They distinguish between the general sense of being a "sent one" and the specific, capital-A office held by the original Twelve and the Apostle Paul.

The duo breaks down the strict biblical requirements for the office—including being an eyewitness of the resurrected Christ—and explains why this office was a unique foundation for the early church rather than an ongoing position. From discussing whether Judas was technically an Apostle to addressing modern claims from the Catholic Church and charismatic movements, this episode provides a clear, scriptural framework for understanding authority in the church today.
