In a world where Christianity often feels lost—caught between political battles, cultural trends, and growing distrust—how do we find our way back to what truly matters? This series, Ancient Faith, invites us to rediscover the Nicene Creed: an ancient, tested declaration that has anchored generations of believers through every storm. We see how the Creed guards our theology, grounds us in unity, and guides us through uncertainty—calling us to live lives that make the gospel beautiful and credible once again. References: "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity." - Often attributed to great theologians such as St. Augustine, it comes from an otherwise undistinguished German Lutheran theologian of the early seventeenth century, Rupertus Meldenius. "How is it possible that the gospel should be credible, that people should come to believe that the power which has the last word in human affairs is represented by a man hanging on a cross? I am suggesting that the only answer, the only hermeneutic of the gospel, is a congregation of men and women who believe it and live by it." - Lesslie Newbigin What's a Christian Anyway? by Glen Packiam

I have no earthly idea how to describe this conversation. It's about religion and belief – at this moment in our politics, and in our lives more generally.My guest and I come from very different perspectives. Ross Douthat is a Catholic conservative, who wrote a book called “Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious.” I'm a … Californian. But I think everyone would enjoy this conversation — believers, skeptics and seekers alike.Some questions touched on: Is the Trump administration Christian or pagan? How do Christian Trump supporters reconcile the cruelties of this administration with their faith? Can religious experiences be explained by misfiring neurons? Should organized religions embrace psychedelics? Can mystery provide more comfort than certainty?And if you do enjoy this episode, be sure to check out Douthat's new New York Times Opinion Audio show “Interesting Times,” available wherever you get your podcasts, and on YouTube.Mentioned:Interesting Times with Ross Douthat“Donald Trump, Man of Destiny” by Ross DouthatLiving with a Wild God by Barbara EhrenreichBook Recommendations:Modern Physics and Ancient Faith by Stephen BarrAfter by Bruce GreysonMind and Cosmos by Thomas NagelThoughts?

What's it like to be an Orthodox Christian in Syria? Father Josiah Trenham shares powerful stories of faith under fire. Over 12 years ago, Sunni jihadists kidnapped the Archbishop.

Jude 3 - In an age where ideas and information come and go at the speed of light, there is a deep need for timeless truths that transcend our present moment. In the Nicene Creed we find a summary of “the faith once for all delivered to the saints” and step into a tradition that unites us with Christians across time, geography and the various branches of Christianity. As we anchor ourselves in this ancient statement of faith this year, may God help us see who He is clearly in more of His mystery, beauty, and love. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 1 of our series "The Nicene Creed: The Ancient Theology of the Triune God"] Questions for reflection: 1) Are you experiencing the ephemeral, quickly evaporating nature of ideas and information today? How does an ancient religious faith provide an antidote? 2) What has your relationship to the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed been like? How have you viewed them? 3) Why are summaries of the basics of the Christian faith important for us? What is uniquely important about the Nicene Creed as one of these? 4) Discuss the authority of the creed relative to the authority of Jesus and the Bible. 5) Do you see evidence of people experimenting with "remixed religion" in your friendships? 6) Why is it important that we build our theology in community with others? How does the creed play a part in this?
