In Episode 1 of this series on the Sacraments, Marcus Lim joins myself and Caleb Conley to discuss the Eucharist, known most commonly as 'Communion,' from a Protestant perspective. A great deal of protestants believe that this action of eating bread and drinking wine is simply symbolic, however, there is a rich history behind the mystery of the Eucharist that may just help you to experience it in a different way than you have before.

In Episode 2 of this series on the Ecumenical Councils of the Early Church, Christopher McCormick joins me again to delve even deeper into the Council of Nicaea. What is arguably the first Ecumenical Council, taking place in AD/CE 325, a variety of issues become debated, but none more popular than the Arian Controversy. What is now deemed a Christological heresy, helped the Church come to one place wherein they would discuss a singular doctrine that defined the specifics of Jesus as God, primarily, whether or not He was of the same substance as the Father. This council welcomes in the conversation of the first century that helped to develop the theological notion of the Trinity. 

Therefore, it is one that is extraordinarily important for Christians to know about, and I believe as you come to understand it, you might just come to see the lack of clarity throughout Church history. Sometimes, it is hard to truly understand what happened during specific events and/or conversations, but in it all we can see Christ dwelling within His people and continuously bringing restoration to humanity as a whole.

In Episode 3 of this series on 1 Peter, Caleb Conley and I discuss the second half of the Prooemium, vv. 6-12, and how Christians have a faith that stems from God's actions in the past, clings to that which He is doing in the present, and hopes for the coming glory that will be revealed when Christ returns. Peter develops the theological mind of his epistle in the first chapter, though, more than this, also sets up the backdrop for how Christians of the first century, and now, are to follow Jesus and live within their new found life in Christ.

In Episode 2 of this series on 1 Peter, Caleb Conley and I attempt to make our way through the Epistolary Introduction (vv 1-2) and the Prooemium (vv 3-12),  however, only make it to v5. While we found ourselves repeating some of the content of the opening part of the letter, vv 1-2 specifically, we felt it absolutely necessary to spend adequate time on this section. Peter's opening is that theological backdrop for the remainder of the letter, and must be understood in its totality in order that the rest be read rightly.

In Episode 1 of this series on the Ecumenical Councils of the Early Church, my good friend, Christopher McCormick, joins me to begin talking about the importance of Constantine in Christianity, the atmosphere leading up to his emperorship, and the inception of the Nicene council. We found that a lot of information needed to be revisited and talked about further, therefore, this episode is going to be broken into two parts. The next will consist of  discussion concerning the theological and ecclesiological atmosphere leading up to the Nicene Council, during it, and hopefully, how it led to the next council, the First Constantinople Council.

In Episode 1 of this series on 1 Peter, I focus on the largely disputed topic of authorship concerning 1 Peter. Through looking at scholars and the arguments they put forth, we are able to understand the historical context of the letter and its place within our NT canon.

In this episode, Collin Ellis, Eli Jenkins, and Alex Tabor sit down to have a conversation discussing John Cassian's writings "On the Incarnation." Written around 429 ad, this piece was amidst a variety of conversations being had during the 5th century attempting to uncover the metaphysical makeup of Jesus Christ as God and also man. With this comes a plethora of heresies, therefore, we attempt to explicate some of these heresies, describe the right belief, and then pontificate about what these might cause one to think about.
