The REAL History of Nicaea You Never Knew

In an era of doctrinal confusion and church scandals, many believers are questioning the very foundation of Christian faith. Can the Nicene Creed offer clarity and stability?

In this episode, we dive deep into the history and significance of the Nicene Creed, established at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., which has served as a cornerstone of Christian belief for centuries. We’ll unpack its core affirmations about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, exploring how it provides a resilient framework for faith amid modern challenges.

But why was the Council of Nicaea so pivotal? Is there biblical support for such councils, or do they risk adding human error to Scripture’s sufficiency? Together, we’ll examine biblical precedents, such as the early church gatherings in Acts 11 and 15, and look at how councils like Nicaea sought to safeguard Christian doctrine and address critical issues facing the church.

From Constantine’s political influence to Arius's divisive teachings, we’ll trace how the debates and decisions of the Nicene bishops shaped the bedrock of Christian orthodoxy. Join us as we explore the timeless relevance of the Nicene Creed, discovering how it can strengthen and steady us through personal and collective crises of faith.

Join us Monday, Nov 4 at 4:00 p.m. CST / UTC-6!

Are Emotions Misleading Your Faith? The Dangers of Emotionalism in Christian Worship

In a culture that often equates emotional intensity with spiritual depth, how can we discern genuine faith and worship from mere emotional hype? This episode dives into the critical difference between emotions—the natural, God-given responses to life—and emotionalism, a worldview that places feelings above truth, sometimes to the detriment of our spiritual lives. We’ll discuss why emotions alone can’t be the foundation for spiritual truth, looking at common misconceptions like confusing a pastor’s passion with anointing or mistaking emotional peace as confirmation of answered prayer.

Drawing insights from theological giants like Jonathan Edwards and exploring biblical counsel on sobriety and self-control, we’ll explore why emotions must be balanced by a sound mind and grounded in Scripture. We also touch on how music shapes our beliefs and how a focus on emotional intensity in worship can impact our understanding of God.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that aims to reclaim a balanced view of emotions in faith and worship, encouraging you to embrace both mind and heart in your walk with God.

Episode premieres Wednesday, Nov 6 at 4:00 p.m. CST / UTC-6!

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Have a theology question? Drop it here. While we can't guarantee we'll tackle every question, we'll dive into one or two each week. So, fire away and let's explore together!

David from Kansas: What does it mean to “pray in the spirit” and how is it different from any other prayer?

Answer: Praying in the Spirit means engaging with God in a way that is especially sensitive to the guidance, empowerment, and presence of the Holy Spirit. It involves allowing the Spirit to direct our prayers, aligning our hearts with God’s will, and sometimes includes spiritual gifts like tongues or prophecy. While all prayer involves the Holy Spirit, praying in the Spirit emphasizes a greater degree of surrender and openness to His leading, creating a more intimate, transformative experience. This kind of prayer draws us deeper into God’s presence, aligning our desires with His and fostering a two-way relationship that shapes our character and actions.

Here’s a great episode to guide you:

SHOWS LAST WEEK

If you missed joining the Live Chat, you can still catch the episodes:

History of the Gay Movement with Becket Cook

Join us as we welcome back Becket Cook, an influential Christian author and speaker whose journey from a gay activist to faith has inspired many. Becket’s path from the world of Hollywood to faith has made him a powerful voice in the conversation around LGBTQ issues and Christianity.

In this episode, we'll explore the evolution of LGBTQ ideology, delving into its philosophical roots and modern-day perspectives. Through historical analysis, literary reflection, and scriptural insights, this episode traces the cultural shifts from the 18th-century Romantic poets to Freud’s theories and beyond. We’ll unpack the popular narratives surrounding identity, love, and sexuality, contrasting them with Christian teachings. Discover ways to compassionately engage with LGBTQ individuals while upholding biblical convictions, offering pastoral guidance and heartfelt encouragement for navigating today’s complex social landscape.

Chimeras: Mythical Creatures or Demons?

What’s the deal with chimeras in the Bible? Are they just myths, demon descriptions, or something way stranger? In this episode, we'll dig into the ancient texts, including the Septuagint, to track down satyrs, sirens, dragons, and yes, even the infamous Leviathan. Could these creatures be the result of pre-flood genetic experiments? Were they spawned from divine-human mingling gone wrong? Or are they clever political metaphors from the prophets? We’ll throw out theories, explore ancient Jewish thoughts, and see if these “chimeras” were real beasts or symbolic warnings.
