In this episode, Pastor Tim Hadden explores the Council of Nicaea not as the triumph of truth, but as the birth of a compromise. When Constantine gathered the bishops of the empire, his goal wasn’t revelation—it was resolution. Between Arian subordination and Sabellian simplicity, the church drafted a creed that aimed for peace more than truth.

In this episode, Pastor Tim Hadden introduces Watchman Nee’s Spiritual Authority and explores how its influence has shaped both healthy and unhealthy approaches to leadership within Pentecostal contexts. He unpacks the spectrum between authoritarian control and passive non-leadership, and begins tracing how Nee’s ideas became foundational—sometimes problematically so—in modern church culture.

Laying the foundation for understanding what actual spiritual authority is — and isn’t. In an era of deconstruction and skepticism toward leadership, we take a closer look at spiritual authority, particularly a book that has played a significant role in many modern lessons on the topic: Watchman Nee's "Spiritual Authority."

Christianity’s claim that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ has always been controversial. In this episode, we confront the raw and often emotional question: “You mean my ____________ is in hell with Hitler?”  In this episode, we examine some common fallacies and our response to them.

Tune in for a very short, but impactful discussion on an oft-overlooked facet of the book of Deuteronomy. It's an anti-Egyptian emphasis.

What do an ancient cave nap, a forgotten altar, and a paradoxical prophet have to do with the Apostle Paul’s message to Titus—and his sermon on Mars Hill? In this episode, we trace a mysterious thread through Greek legend, philosophical riddle, and apostolic confrontation. Sometimes, the truth hides in the most ironic of places.

There is a road in the Gospels that few trace—a winding path beyond Jordan, cloaked in obscurity and mercy. For roughly six months, Jesus walked among the shadows of a region known as Perea. Here, He quietly shifts the center of His ministry beyond the bounds of expectation. In this episode, we follow the unspoken trail where the Cross to come began to cast its longest shadow.

In this episode, we explore the beauty of being that becomes—the journey from potential to realization, from existing in possibility to existing in fact. Drawing from Genesis 1 and the imagery of God as Potter, we reflect on the condition of the earth as “without form and void”—not as chaotic, but as unshaped, awaiting divine intention.

In this explosive episode of AlphaTav, we uncover the historical turning point that altered the trajectory of Christian doctrine forever—381 A.D., the year the Trinity was politically enforced. While many assume the doctrine of the Trinity was handed down from the apostles, history tells a different story. We trace the shift from scriptural monotheism to creedal trinitarianism, exposing how imperial politics at the Council of Constantinople cemented a dogma that had long been contested. What began as philosophical speculation became ecclesiastical law—not through prophetic revelation, but imperial decree.

In this episode of AlphaTav, we explore the often misunderstood gift of speaking in tongues—not as a relic of the early church, but as a vital expression of spiritual life today. From the rushing wind of Pentecost to Paul's instruction in Corinth, we trace the biblical trajectory of glossolalia, examining its purpose, its power, and its place in the life of the believer. Is it just for some, or for all? Is it merely emotional, or deeply theological? With clarity and conviction, we delve into the mystery, the mandate, and the manifestation of tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
