The Holy Catholic Church (No, Not That One)


Listen Later

What does it mean to believe in the Church? In this stirring episode, we unpack the fourth line of the Apostles’ Creed: “I believe in the holy catholic Church.” From early church history to modern-day hospice visits, this episode explores what it means to trust in Christ’s messy, beautiful Bride. 

We address:

  •  Why Protestants say “catholic” (with a small c)
  •  The historical and theological roots of Church unity and holiness
  •  Modern heresies that disconnect salvation from community
  •  A powerful real-life story of Communion in a nursing home
  •  A new metaphor comparing denominations to military branches

 Whether you’ve been hurt by the Church or you’re wondering if it still matters, this episode is a heartfelt call to see the Church as Christ sees her.

Thanks for listening.
