Who is God, and why does a bigger view of God change everything? Understanding God's holiness, grace, justice, and wrath transforms how we worship, navigate suffering, and live the Christian life.In this conversation, Christian Barrett and a friend explore one of the most important questions in Christian theology: What is God? Beginning with the historic catechisms, we discuss the limitations of human understanding, the biblical attributes of God, and why growing in our knowledge of God is essential for Christian discipleship.How can we know an infinite God? What happens when our view of God becomes too small? How does understanding His character change the way we respond to suffering, trials, and everyday life?We also discuss practical ways to grow in the knowledge of God through Scripture, prayer, worship, historic Christian creeds, confessions, catechisms, and relationships with other believers.Whether you're new to Christianity, exploring theology, or seeking to deepen your relationship with Christ, this conversation is an invitation to move beyond shallow faith and pursue a deeper knowledge and love of God.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction: Why the Question 'What is God?'

What is the purpose of a creed or ‘I Believe' statement? Where creeds overlap, you find companions for the journey. Creeds can unite us, but they can also divide. Some attempts to rewrite the Apostles' Creed help us understand who God is and can change both our view of the world, and God. Paul saw the shrines to the unknown god in Athens as misguided. Our God is known, and close. Not far away, distant emotionally or unknown. His message to the Athenians suggests that we should embrace those around us while hewing to the bible's teachings. God made this earth spacious for all living creatures., human and otherwise. Because we trust in God, and we are created by God, we can peel back the layers and more fully understand. This message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our New Testament Lesson comes from Acts, Chapter 17, verses 16-28.   Carolyn Winfrey Gillette provides a restated creed: I believe in God the Father, the Almighty God above, Maker of the earth and heaven which were formed in God's great love. And in Jesus, loving Jesus, God's own Son, who makes us new. This the creed of generations, is the faith for our church too. Jesus by God's Holy Spirit was so wondrously conceived, Born unto the Virgin Mary, who your promises believed. Jesus suffering under Pilate, on a cross was crucified. Soldiers mocked hi, friends denied him; he hung there until he died. So it was, our Lord was buried, in a borrowed tomb he lay. To the dead he then descended, where was joy on earth that day? There's more to God's great story: In three days he rose again. He ascended into heaven and he sits at God's right hand. I believe what God has promised: Christ will come as he has said. He will judge the nations' peoples, both the living and the dead. I believe God's Holy Spirit makes the church one family. We're surrounded by God's people, saints who in our Lord believe. I believe that God forgives us for the times we turn away, And that God will raise our bodies on that resurrection day. We rejoice that we'll live forever, singing praise to God's great name. This the creed of generations is the faith that we proclaim.  

This message is on the third article of the Apostles' Creed, and we focus on the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Resurrection of the body can be the cornerstone of faith. The through line of our theology is that the body is central to our understanding of our existence in Christ. Scripture is full of creation words. Creeds struggle to get things right about what they believe. Gnosticism would have us believe tht the true self is spirit and soul. Not the physical being. Much of our theology is about escaping from the body. The creed talks about the creation as an important component of our belief. The creed does not tell us that humans are spiritual only. To the contrary, our bodies are clothed in Christ, and this informs us and guides our actions. Why does this matter? Because we don't just exist, we profoundly matter in God's plans. Today's message comes from Pastor Jason. Our New Testament Lesson comes from Romans Chapter 8 ,Verses 22- 25. Our second reading is from Revelations, Chapter 21, Verses 1 - 5.   Masai Creed We believe in Creator, Father-Mother Spirit, who called the world and all that is in it. Into being, who spoke the creative-forming wor, and all came father who created women and men and set them free to live in love. In obedience to the will of supreme love and in community with all. We believe in Creator, Son and Brother, who, because of love beyond our understanding, love for creation, entered the world to share our humanity, to rejoice and despair; ate set before us the paths of life and death, and walk them with us; to be rejected and die, but to finally conquer death and bind the world to himself for all time. We believe in Creator, In-Dwelling Spirit, who invites us into community., that we my thought faith and that community of oneness, experience uplifting and sustaining grace; that we may fulfill our human responsibility reach out to our neighbor, whoever that may be; that we may rejoice in the constant nature of creation and wondrous joy of life itself. We believe in Creator, whose word teaches us that all things grow together, the Circle of Life; that the paths of life and death, good and evil, too often come together, that choices are not clearly defined; but that we confidently and responsibly tread the path we choose and only the true One can be our judge. We believer in Creator, who is present and working in this world through all creation. AMEN.

Can we actually trust the New Testament as historical evidence? In Week 3 of Counterfeit, Copycat, or Christ?, we examine the case from the ground up—starting with some of Christianity's earliest creedal traditions, which preserve testimony about Jesus that circulated before the New Testament books themselves were written.We then tackle the manuscript evidence, the famous claim of “400,000 textual variants,” and the accusation that the Gospels were originally anonymous. From there, we examine the internal and external evidence for Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, including manuscript attribution and testimony from early Christian writers such as Papias, Irenaeus, Clement, Tertullian, Origen, Eusebius, and others.The question isn't whether Christians simply believe the traditional authorship of the Gospels. The question is: What does the historical evidence actually say?

Send us Fan MailIn This episode we begin looking at the Baptist Church denomination which is one of the largest and most influential protestant denominations. Today there are more than twenty Baptist denominations. We talk about when and where John Smyth or Smith first organized a Baptist Church. We note that there were two types of Baptists in the early days of the church's existence. We discuss  those different groups. We next look at the establishment of the Baptist Church in America in 1639 and where that occurred. A number of Baptist writers wrote about where the name Baptist came from as used by Baptists. We look at those writings. We next note how the Baptist Church today view confessions of faith and human creeds. We move on to talk about some doctrines, teachings and views of the Baptist Church such as divine election, predestination and eternal security. We run out of time and will have to complete this episode next week. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying.

Are There Different Nicene Creeds?

August 5, 2026Today's Reading: Acts 28:1-15Daily Lectionary: Acts 28:1-15“After we were brought safely through…” (Acts 28:1a)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.It had been three long years since Paul had been arrested by a Jewish mob in Jerusalem and thrown before the High Priest Ananias. The Jews had made a plot to kill him, but that plot had been foiled, and he was skirted away to Caesarea to be put under the authority of Felix, the governor. During the next 36 months, Paul would appeal to be heard by Caesar, speak in front of rulers and authorities, sail for Rome, be caught at sea by a storm, and be shipwrecked on the island of Malta.Luke begins our Reading for today with the words, “After we were brought safely through…” It was the providential will of God that Paul would not find his end at the hands of a Jewish mob in Jerusalem, but instead that he would go on proclaiming the Gospel all the way to the steps of Rome. Christ crucified would be made known throughout the world despite his imprisonment. (Dare I say even because of it?)Is it any wonder that Paul would be able to pen in Romans that, “God works all things for good for those who are called according to his purpose,” and, in 2 Corinthians, “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”The Christian gives thanks to the Lord above for the faithful witness of His apostles. It's no mere accident that these men suffered imprisonment, torture, persecution, and martyrdom; for as Christ said, “A servant is not above his master.” But these things took place so that you and I might know what Christ is and who He is for us 2000 years after the Apostle Paul met his blessed end.God had seen Paul through all of these hardships with you in mind, so that you might “have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.” (Ephesians 3:18-19a)The doctrine handed down by the Apostles is the very doctrine that is preached and proclaimed in your congregations. It is the foolishness of the cross, the stumbling block of a crucified Savior risen from the dead for the forgiveness of your sins. We confess these truths in the Creeds, and we receive these truths in the Divine Service. We profess these promises to the lost and fallen world around us. And we live in the grace and mercy of the Gospel until Christ comes again in glory.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.I trust, O Lord, Your holy name; O let me not be put to shame Nor let me be confounded. My faith, O Lord, Be in Your Word Forever firmly grounded. (LSB 734:1)Rev. Eli Lietzau, pastor of Wheat Ridge Evangelical Lutheran Church in Wheat Ridge, CO.

In this episode we ask a simple but far reaching question, before the canon and creeds were fully settled, what were Christians actually doing in worship and prayer? They explore the Didache, Justin Martyr, oral tradition, and the catacombs to show that early Christian life was structured, communal, and already deeply rooted in liturgical practice. This episode opens the door to a bigger conversation about how the earliest Christians lived their faith before later definitions and debates took center stage.

In the Coffee House, John-Mark is joined by Steve Meister, Pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, Sacramento, to discuss the value and necessity of creeds and confessions for Protestants.Meister argues that Christianity is uniquely rooted in truth and “sound words,” so careful language—including non-biblical terms like Trinity and consubstantial—is needed to preserve biblical meaning against error and equivocation. He explains how creeds arise from ordinary church needs (preaching the gospel, baptism, church membership, pastoral qualification, and evangelism) and why “negative theology” and denials are essential for rejecting false gospels and false teachers.Meister uses Irenaeus' mosaic illustration to show how creeds function as an interpretive key for Scripture, makes a biblical case for creedal summaries within the New Testament, addresses doctrinal clarification through historical controversy (including EFS), considers hymn language that can mislead without sound Christology, and concludes with guidance on receiving good tradition while testing all teaching by Scripture.Read Steve's Article Here: [https://founders.org/articles/does-the-church-need-the-creeds-why-ancient-confessions-still-matter/]Get "The Nicene Creed" by Kevin DeYoung on Discount: [https://brokenwharfe.com/product/the-nicene-creed/]Dig deeper into the faith once delivered to the saints: [https://brokenwharfe.com]00:00 Welcome to the Coffee House00:37 Meet Steve in Sacramento03:15 Why Words Matter08:22 Jargon and Church Life16:08 Negative Theology Needed23:29 Irenaeus Mosaic Key28:07 Creeds in the New Testament33:12 Spirit and Church Consensus41:11 Modern Errors and EFS47:58 Hymns and Christology55:46 Sorting Tradition Wisely01:02:14 Resources and Final Charge01:05:45 Wrap Up and LinksSupport the showContact Broken WharfeTweet us @Brokenwharfe Find us on Facebook at BrokenWharfeFollow us on Instagram at BrokenWharfeEmail us at info@brokenwharfe.comThanks for listening!

Joseph Smith = American Muhammad? Ward Radio DESTROYS Daily Wire Tropes w/ Don Bradley & All Those in FavorYouTube Description:Ward Radio reacts to Matt Fradd (Pints with Aquinas / Daily Wire) and Mike Jones (Inspiring Philosophy) comparing Joseph Smith to Muhammad. Historian Don Bradley, Baylor Johnson, Brad Whipple, Kweku L, and Cardon Ellis provide detailed debunking, historical context, humor, and powerful testimony.Topics: Polygamy & sealings, "child bride" myths, First Vision, interfaith charity, Catholic parallels, Daily Wire cancellations, creeds, evidence for the Restoration, and more.

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin have a conversation about the Trinity. Very likely, you've heard this word before in its associate with the God that's worshipped by Christians. But, where did the title come from? If it's not in the Bible, then, is it just a man made construct, or does the Bible actually say that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? The Bible does indeed talk about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In addition to that, the Christian Church has always talked about God in such a way through its creedal statements. The guys share some of the history behind the Creeds of the Christian Church, particularly, the history of the Athanasian Creed and some of the uniqueness of it. We hope you enjoy it!

10 Major Cults - Part 4 | Cults & Creeds Sermon Series | Week 6 | Ps Chris Chipeio by Every Nation Dorado

With Arms Wide Open! In this episode, on the eve of Trinity Sunday, we sit with Carl Trueman's essay, "The Value and Role of Creeds and Confession." Is there any usefulness of Creeds and Confessions at present? Are they important as historic documents? Are they authoritative for the churches? What are the biblical origins of the ecumenical creeds, and are they the rule of faith for contemporary Christians? What about contemporary churches that write their own creeds, confessions, or statements of faith — do they participate in the catholic faith, or are they confessing something separate from historic, orthodox Christianity? All that and much, much more on this episode of Banned Books.

Rethink Mission is a historically grounded podcast hosted by Dr. Mike Brown that reexamines early Christianity by beginning with lived communities, shared memory, and received tradition rather than later institutions or isolated texts. Focusing on what the series calls primitive Christian mission, the podcast challenges popular skeptical narratives that portray Christianity as a late textual invention or a belief system fabricated through copying and doctrinal manipulation. Drawing on early Christian writings, archaeological evidence, and historical method, the series argues that Christian belief and worship preceded the New Testament texts and that these writings functioned as occasional documents addressing real communities that already shared a coherent faith. Episodes explore the role of communal memory, apostolic authority, early creeds, and high Christology, showing that core Christian convictions—such as the worship of Jesus as Lord, belief in the resurrection, and continuity with Jewish Scripture—were established very early and received rather than invented by figures like Paul. By integrating theology, history, and philosophy, Rethink Mission offers listeners a disciplined alternative to both naïve faith and reductionist skepticism, inviting a deeper understanding of how Christianity emerged, spread, and sustained itself in the ancient world. Episode 13: Creeds

I found myself not long ago in a courtroom as a witness for a person claiming asylum in the UK on the grounds that they had converted to Christianity, and would be persecuted in the country they had been born in if they returned. I'd got to know him well, prepared him to be baptised and he was a regular member of our congregation. We had even eaten mustard seeds together as we discussed the meaning of Jesus's teaching in the gospels about the kingdom of God. In court, he was asked to name the 12 apostles. He got to 5 before mistakenly mentioning Isaiah. The following Sunday I asked our own congregation, some of whom had been going to church for 50 years, to name the 12 apostles. No one could, and it was gently pointed out that the gospels themselves don't quite agree on the precise 12 with a question over Thaddeus. Back in the courtroom, I was also asked whether I thought it was possible to be Christian without being able to read. Our congregation member was not literate. I refrained from commenting that for hundreds of years, nothing in Christian doctrine was written down until the formation of the Creeds in the 4th century, and simply answered yes, in my opinion I thought it was possible to be Christian without being able to read. The system was working as it should, the lawyers were doing what the state required them to do. The court had to determine whether this conversion to Christianity was legitimate or not. But learning the apostles' names or being able to read was not, and could never be, the place where true and deep lived faith would breathe and flourish. The discovery that there is, in the words of the BBC reporters, a ‘sham industry', providing assistance to people to enter the UK illegally on the grounds of sexuality or belief, is not very surprising. Enormous efforts are made by people trying to get around the housing or benefits systems for example, and huge sums are spent employing accountants to minimise the amount – legally or illegally - an individual has to pay in tax. For every bureaucratic system put in place to try to organise society for the good of the whole, there will be a shadow system, dedicated to get around it for personal gain. In such shadow systems, the state's attempt at fairness, however imperfectly or carelessly expressed sometimes, is replaced with active cruelty towards the most vulnerable in our society: by traffickers, or any who exploit the desperation of those whose life circumstances have placed them at the mercy of the system. State instruments will always be blunt, and political fashions come and go as to which issues attract the most attention. But the collective commitment to compassion, fair judgement, mercy and care towards those who are most in need of help, will never, can never, go out of fashion.

John Luke, Christian, and Zach witness Al's unexpected confession about a “girly” habit that he swears by. John Luke offers his perspective on why God doesn't reveal Himself in obvious, overwhelming ways, and why Jesus followed that same pattern during His life on earth. The guys wrestle with modern skepticism, pointing out that many people reject God for not acting the way they expect. They dig into early church history, exposing how ancient false teachings about Jesus' humanity and divinity are still resurfacing today in new forms.  In this episode: 1 John 4, verses 1–3; 2 John, verse 7; 1 Corinthians 15, verses 1–8; John 1, verses 1–14; 1 Timothy 3, verse 16; 1 Corinthians 6, verse 19; Romans 5, verses 12–21 Today's conversation is about Lesson 5 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine's writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it.

You Believe the Creeds… So Do Demons In this episode of Come Let Us Reason, Lenny Esposito is joined by Anthony Costello to explore a growing issue in modern Christianity: the rise of “creeds-only” faith. As more people appeal to historic confessions like the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed while redefining key biblical teachings, we have to ask—are the creeds sufficient? Or is true Christianity something deeper? If you've ever wondered whether Christianity is more than checking doctrinal boxes, this episode will challenge you to rethink what it means to truly follow Christ.

Dr. Stephen Fix talks about John Thomson's An Explication of the  Shorter Catechism. Thomson was an early American presbyterian who played an important part in American Presbyterian history. Dr. Fix is his seven-times great grandson.This work is important for two reasons, first, it is representative of Old Side  Presbyterianism during the first Great Awakening, and second, it is an excellent catechism on the catechism itself. Ruling elders will find the history just as helpful as the approach to explaining the catechism. John Thomson, An Explication of the Shorter Catechism, edited by Dr. S. A.

We're so excited to share a conversation that our friend and Executive Director, Zach Davis, had with Teresa Morgan, Professor at Yale Divinity School and a leading scholar of early Christian history.Teresa invites us to reconsider one of the most central words in Christianity: faith. She explains that for the first generations of Christians, “faith” didn't mean signing on to a list of beliefs. It meant something more like trust—faithfulness, trustworthiness, the act of entrusting your life to God. Faith was less about what you thought and more about the kind of relationship you were living: a daily, embodied trust in a faithful God.But over time, as outside pressures mounted, Christian leaders drew clearer boundaries around belief. Creeds became markers of belonging, and faith—once rooted primarily in trust and lived allegiance—was increasingly defined by agreement with specific doctrines. That shift has shaped the Christian imagination ever since.In this conversation, Zach and Teresa explore how that evolution happened, what may have been lost, and what it might look like to recover a richer, more relational vision of faith today. We also want to mention that this interview is featured in the upcoming Issue 7 of Wayfare, and that this is a special edition centering women's voices on the theme of trust—trust in God, in ourselves, and in our communities. It's a beautiful and thoughtful collection that we are really proud of. You can read this interview, and see the beautiful artwork that accompanies it, at WayfareMagazine.org.If you'd like to receive your own copy of Wayfare in the mail, you can become a Friend of Faith Matters or a paid Wayfare subscriber by March 31.

The Catechism we are reading follows the structure of the Apostles' Creed with frequent references to the Nicene Creed for further details and explanations. Together, these Creeds aid us in articulating the beliefs we share with all members of the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike discusses why St. Ambrose refers to the Creed as “an ever-present guardian” and “treasure of our soul.” He encourages us not to take this gift for granted. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 193-197. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

WWE Unreal Season 2 Review

Today we further realize the sense of the word “credo,” meaning “I believe.” As we read the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, we discover the differences between the two and come to understand how the Nicene Creed, which came centuries later, expands upon and explains the beliefs of the Apostles' Creed. Fr. Mike tells us that these Creeds help us to share the essential elements of Catholicism, acting as “symbols of faith,” and encouraging communion between believers. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 185-192. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
