  • 5: "St. Athanasius of Alexandria" - Christians You Should Know

    We look at a theological prodigy: Athanasius of Alexandria. He taught the church how to think about the relationship between our everyday reality and God's reality, and in doing so became a Father of Orthodoxy and a Theological Innovator. Learning from him, we can continue to integrate Tradition and progress.

  • 4: "Abba Moses of Ethiopia" - Christians You Should Know

    We look at Abba Moses of Ethiopia, or Moses the Black. We explore what this enslaved man who escaped to become a bandit and then a Monk and Spiritual Father has to teach us about the true dignity of each person and the nature of community and redemption.

  • 3: "Origen of Alexandria" - Christians You Should Know

    There were people in the first few centuries who began the task of developing Christian philosophy to explore what was happening in the church’s experience and practices. In the 3rd century, Origen of Alexandria helped Christian thought come of age. But his life also shows us how the best thought about God comes from a life lived in God.

  • 2: "Felicitas and Perpetua" - Christians You Should Know

    In early centuries, Felicitas and Perpetua were the most famous and most highly honored saints in Christian circles. They even got their own holidays and celebrations. Why?  Because of the way their world judged them and condemned them to death. We explore how, rather than merely being victims of unjust judgment, they can teach people what judgment really is.

  • 1: "Mary" - Christians You Should Know

    When it comes to helping us see Jesus more clearly, and becoming more like him, there is nobody better than his mother, Mary. 

    We explore how grace permeates her life, and how her she can mentor us in prayer, study & reflection, work, and rest.

  • 50: "Tradition" - Dictionary of Faith

    As our Season 1 finale, we help you cut through some of the confusion and cultural tension we are currently experiencing by showing you how traditions are constantly shaping how we think, what we do, and even who we are. We also give you tools to discern if a tradition is healthy of unhealthy, and show how a healthy, living tradition makes progress possible. 

    We will be taking a short break August 17-31 to make good on a fresh vision we have for this show. We will be back September 7 with a revamped format that will better inspire and equip you to be a person of faith in our world.

  • 49: "Scripture" - Dictionary of Faith

    We engage some of your biggest questions about the Bible.

    How was the Bible written? What do we mean when we say it is inspired? Who decided which books were in the Bible, why, and when? What purpose does the book serve today?

  • 48: "Holiness" - Dictionary of Faith

    "Holiness" has to be more than "holier-than-thou," right? 

    Yes. We help you see how Michael Jordan, Batman, and Love as the defining aspect of God give us a better understanding of how holiness is part of a good life.

  • 47: "Church" - Dictionary of Faith

    Just what exactly are Christians trying to communicate when we use the word "church"? It has to be more than a gathering, right? What roles do things like structures and institutions have in Christ's church? Why would we call it "Catholic"?
