🎙️ Episode 21 — Essential Beliefs: Rooted in One God
#Faith4TodayPodcast
What does it truly mean to believe in God?
This episode explores the foundational Christian belief in one God—Father, Creator, and Sustainer—through the lens of Deuteronomy 6, the Nicene Creed, and everyday discipleship. We dig into why belief is more than agreement—it’s allegiance, identity, and daily trust.
From the tension between faith and works to reclaiming intimacy with God in a distracted age, this is a call to live out what we confess.
We explore:
• The difference between knowing about God and knowing Him intimately.
• How modern distractions have eroded our capacity for wonder, trust, and relational faith.
• What it means to acknowledge Jesus (homologeo)—not just in word, but in lifestyle.
• The tension between faith and works—and how Paul holds the mystery of divine and human agency in beautiful tension.
• Why the Nicene Creed is more than history—it’s a spiritual act of protest that dethrones every false king in our lives.
We also talk through real questions, like:
• How do I trust God is writing my story without becoming passive?
• What does living a “we” faith mean in a “me” world?
• How can our spiritual practices become a resistance to the idols of comfort, productivity, and control?
