Leonardo De Chirico and Mark Gilbert join the program to discuss the enduring significance of the Nicene Creed as it marks its 1700th anniversary. Drawing from their recent edited volume, The Nicene Creed: The Nature of Christian Unity and the Meaning of Gospel Words (Matthias Media), the guests explore how shared creedal language can mask deep theological differences, particularly between evangelical and Roman Catholic traditions. Leonardo De Chirico is a pastor of a Reformed evangelical church in Rome, a scholar of Roman Catholic theology, and a leader in the Reformanda Initiative, which seeks to equip evangelical engagement with Roman Catholicism. Mark Gilbert serves as a chaplain in Sydney, Australia, and leads the ministry Certainty for Eternity, which focuses on evangelism among those from Roman Catholic backgrounds. Both men bring rich theological and pastoral insight to bear on the question of unity in Christ. The conversation traces the origins of the creed, its Trinitarian framework, and the implications of confessing shared historical truths while diverging in doctrinal substance—especially concerning Christology, the church, and salvation. Leonardo and Mark also share personal insights from their ministries engaging Roman Catholics, underscoring the need for unity rooted in biblical truth rather than institutional alignment or superficial consensus. This episode invites thoughtful reflection on what true Christian unity looks like in light of Scripture, and how the creeds function as faithful, yet insufficient, summaries apart from a Reformed understanding of the gospel.

The fall of Bashar al-Assad last December did not erase the deep-rooted prejudices within Syrian society. Identity and political divisions remain vivid, and since January, sectarian clashes have been increasing. In a country as fragmented as Syria, old grudges are simmering, with many taking justice into their own hands – driven by a thirst for revenge against those they view as traitors or internal enemies. Amid this escalating violence, the authorities insist they are committed to holding those responsible accountable. Meanwhile, civil society is doing what it can to keep hope alive by calling for dialogue and pushing for national unity. Our correspondent in Syria, Jenna Le Bras, reports.

“The wicked borrow but do not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives.” – Psalm 37:21When someone owes you money and doesn't repay it, emotions can run high—frustration, hurt, and even resentment. Whether it's a friend, family member, or fellow believer, unpaid debt can strain even the strongest relationships. So, how should we respond when repayment never comes? Let's explore that together.Start with CompassionIt's natural to assume the worst when someone avoids repaying a debt. But Scripture calls us to pause and lead with understanding.“Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” – Proverbs 14:29The person who owes you might be experiencing genuine hardship, such as job loss, medical emergencies, or family struggles. Begin by asking how they're doing. Show empathy. Offer flexibility, if possible, such as a revised payment plan. This can foster honest dialogue and reflect Christ's love in action.Before confronting the situation, pray. Ask God for wisdom, peace, and soft hearts on both sides. When you enter the conversation with prayerful humility, your response becomes a witness, not just a reaction.Follow Biblical Steps for ConflictIf the debtor is a fellow believer and continues to avoid the issue, Jesus outlines a redemptive process in Matthew 18:Speak privately to them.If unresolved, bring one or two others.If the issue remains unresolved, involve the church leadership.The goal isn't shame—it's restoration. Seek truth and preserve the relationship, creating a path forward instead of building a wall.Should Christians Ever Take Legal Action?In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul warns believers not to sue one another over civil matters, saying, “Why not rather be wronged?” Unity and love matter more than financial recovery. However, this doesn't mean legal action is never appropriate.If fraud, abuse, or serious legal injustice is involved, Romans 13 affirms that civil authorities exist to uphold justice. Seeking legal recourse in these situations may be necessary, especially if livelihoods are at stake. Just be sure your motivation is fairness, not revenge.The Bigger PictureRegardless of the outcome, Jesus commands us to forgive:“Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone…” – Mark 11:25Forgiveness doesn't ignore the debt—it chooses not to hold bitterness. Sometimes it leads to repentance; other times, it simply frees your heart.Unpaid debt is frustrating—but temporary. Relationships, witness, and Christlike character endure. Ask not only, “How can I get this money back?” but “How can I reflect Jesus in this moment?” Generosity and forgiveness point to a Savior who forgave us when we had nothing to repay.Want to Go Deeper?This topic is explored further in our Faithful Steward magazine.

I have money saved for a down payment, but I'm unsure about two things. First, should I continue saving for a larger down payment or buy now with the money I have? Second, I want a mortgage, but I would like to know whether I should choose a shorter or longer mortgage term. I'm 54 years old, so I'm thinking about my timeline for paying off the mortgage.My brother and sister had a trust together with three houses. My sister has since passed away, and my brother is still alive. The trust already has money in it, and my brother is thinking about selling one of the houses. I would like to know: Does the money from the house sale have to be returned to the trust, or can my brother keep it?I'm about to start Social Security at my full retirement age in two months. My wife is considering taking Social Security at age 62. My question is about what happens if I pass away before her.

The exploration of the interplay between progressive theology and Pentecostal thought emerges as a central theme in this discourse with Dr. Bruce Epperly. He articulates that unity, often perceived as elusive within the contemporary Christian landscape, is inherently present through the workings of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Epperly draws upon his extensive background as a congregational pastor and professor to underscore the significance of embracing diverse spiritual experiences. He posits that such inclusivity not only enhances theological discourse but also fosters a more profound sense of community among disparate Christian traditions. The dialogue invites listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journeys and consider how they might contribute to a more unified expression of faith amidst diversity.The engaging discourse between Joshua Noel, TJ Blackwell, and Dr. Bruce Epperly in this episode delves into the nuanced interplay between progressive theology and the charismatic movement. It commences with a profound examination of scriptural texts, notably John 14, which underscores the imperative of love manifested through adherence to divine commandments. This theological lens paves the way for a rich exploration of unity within the Christian community, despite the manifold divisions that often characterize contemporary religious contexts. Dr. Epperly posits that unity is an inherent reality, existing regardless of human constructs of division, and asserts that the Holy Spirit actively works to bind believers together in a profound and transcendent communion. As the discourse unfolds, Dr. Epperly articulates his perspective on process theology, emphasizing the relational nature of God, who is dynamically engaged in the ebb and flow of human experiences. This theological approach stands in stark contrast to more static interpretations of divine sovereignty, advocating for a vision of God who responds to the unfolding narrative of creation. He elucidates how this perspective allows for the acceptance of diverse spiritual expressions, including practices traditionally associated with Pentecostalism, thereby enriching the collective understanding of God's presence in the world. Dr. Epperly's insights challenge listeners to reconsider the boundaries that often separate different faith traditions, advocating for a more inclusive approach to spirituality. The dialogue culminates in a compelling call to action, urging listeners to cultivate humility and active listening as foundational practices for fostering unity among Christians.

Regardless of the country you live in we all face the same inssues. What does the future of podiatry look like? In this episode, I speak with three influential podiatrists from the US, Dr Ben Pearl, Dr Patrick Deheer and Dr Patrick Agnew, about the profession's past, its current challenges, and how we can inspire more students to choose podiatry as a career. We delve into marketing strategies tailored towards potential students, the importance of ongoing research, and how to silence internal negativity and foster a more unified profession.  7 Key Takeaways Podiatry is facing a global student recruitment challenge driven by poor public awareness, not a lack of value. A $1.5 million marketing campaign, Podiatry Moves the World, aims to change the narrative. Key target groups for recruitment in the US include MCAT takers, pre-health majors, and college athletes. The opportunity to become a surgeon before the age of 30 was a major motivator for students. Internal bickering and public negativity are harming the profession's appeal. Lifelong learning and mentorship are essential for long-term satisfaction in the profession.  Research is vital for innovation, and solo practitioners should find collaborative partners.  If you have any questions about this podcast episode or are looking for a speaker for an upcoming event, please email me at tyson@podiatrylegends.com, and we can discuss the range of topics I cover.

Unity doesn't require sameness. It requires humility. In Philippians 1:27- 2:11, Paul calls the church to live in a way that reflects the gospel. This means living in community while having the mindset of Christ. Executive Pastor Kirk Gentzel explores how real strength is shown when power is used not to elevate ourselves but to serve others. This kind of humility reshapes hearts, homes and churches.

This sermon focuses on forgiveness, grace, and the importance of letting go of grievances within the church community. Todd Corey emphasizes that forgiveness is a process that requires the Holy Spirit's help and highlights how unforgiveness keeps us imprisoned in past hurts. He draws parallels between God's unconditional forgiveness of us and how we should forgive others, even when it's difficult. The sermon also addresses fathers, describing them as the "tip of the spear" in protecting their families and leading them spiritually.Why do you think it's often so difficult for us to forgive others?How does understanding God's grace toward us help us extend forgiveness to others?The pastor mentioned that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting. How can we forgive while still acknowledging the reality of past hurts?What role does the Holy Spirit play in our ability to forgive?How can we cultivate peace in our relationships, especially when dealing with conflict?What does it mean practically to let "the peace of Christ rule in your hearts"?The sermon discusses the importance of fathers being spiritual warriors. What does this look like in today's world?How does the story of the thief on the cross demonstrate God's grace?Support the show

Julie and Kevin explore what it really means to build Zion — not in some distant future, but here and now in our homes, classrooms, and relationships. Drawing from scripture, personal struggles, and heartfelt stories, they illuminate how unity starts within us and expands to those around us. They discuss the messy, human side of this process — battling judgment, discomfort, and resistance — and show how small choices made with a Zion mindset can transform a family, a ward, or a community. It's a powerful reminder that we don't need to wait for a perfect world; we can start creating Zion today._______________Subscribe for more free YouTube Tips: https://www.youtube.com/teachingrestored?sub_confirmation=1Find all episodes: https://teachingrestoredAsk a question for us to answer on our podcast: https://teachingrestored.com/contact-us/Join us on:✅ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachingrestored✅ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teachingrestored✅ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@teachingrestored

This podcast is dedicated to showcasing the very best of vintage radio, and with that effort in mind, for the next few weeks we will be highlighting the work of writer/director/producer Norman Corwin. These days he's not exactly a household name, but once you hear his work from the '30s, '40s, and '50s, you will understand why he was so influential. We're kicking things off with a Corwin program from 1939 called "So This Is Radio," which offers an in-depth look at the various roles and processes involved in creating a radio broadcast. Following this, you will get to hear these radio techniques put into practice with one of Corwin's famous radio plays "Unity Fair" from 1945, featuring Groucho Marx.  Visit our website: https://goodolddaysofradio.com/ Subscribe to our Facebook Group for news, discussions, and the latest podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/881779245938297 Our theme music is "Why Am I So Romantic?" from Animal Crackers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHJKAKS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MK8MVCY4DVBAM8ZK39WD

Unity in the church does not mean a bunch of Christian clones. Nor does it mean one big, united Church. When Paul prays for unity, he's thinking about relationships. So why can't Christians get along with each other? Tune in to hear Dr. James Boice talk about what it doesn't and does mean to have unity, this week on The Bible Study Hour.

Laura was raised in a faith-filled home and felt an exceptional call to prayer and the Bible in her early teens.

Tabula Rasa Mystery School: Restoring Communication with SpiritWelcome to another profound session at the Tabula Rasa Mystery School. On this fifth day, David, Marina, and Urpi lead a deeply transformative dialogue and Q&A centered on Restoring Communication with Spirit.Today's exploration takes us beyond conventional communication—beyond spoken words—to the essence of true connection. As teams gather in their pods for expression sessions, they embark on a practice of dissolving barriers and opening their minds to communication that transcends interpersonal relationships. "Say what you mean and mean what you say" becomes more than a phrase; it turns into a calling to align so completely with the Holy Spirit that one's words, thoughts, and emotions reflect divine guidance.Through the practice of having no private thoughts and no people-pleasing, participants begin to experience a different perspective on communication.  It shifts from a horizontal, person-to-person exchange to a vertical, Spirit-led dialogue—a pathway to experiencing love in its purest form. For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on the evening of June 9, 2025, at Casa de Milagros, Chapala, Mexico.

We are joined again by guest speaker Wenneyam Nikiema.

This episode welcomes back Paul Check, a mentor and friend, who delves into a deep and comprehensive discussion on the nature of love, growth, and spiritual development. The conversation covers Paul's recent life experience of being bitten by a rattlesnake, which he uses to illustrate resilience and calm. Paul introduces his concept of the 'Spirit Gym,' a master system teaching about consciousness, life's purpose, and holistic growth through weekly sanghas and practical guidance. The discussion breaks down the symbolic 'OM' circle, highlighting the phases of awakening (awe), dreaming (ooh), and resting (mm), and connects these to seasons, stages of love, and archetypes such as the child, warrior, king/queen, and wise man/woman. Paul also discusses different types of love from sex and violence love to conditional and unconditional love, using relatable examples and spiritual beliefs. Furthermore, the podcast emphasizes the importance of understanding and integrating one's thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. The conversation ends with reflections on the illusion of separation from God and encourages holistic approaches to life and spiritual growth.   Connect with Paul here: The Spirit Gym and use the code is KYLE15 for 15% off any membership!
