All of these episodes should be personal, to some extent.  After all, these aren't static, other-worldly doctrines but we are dealing with the message of life itself.  But there is something especially personal about taking the whole theological enterprise and focusing it on your own particular problem: sin.  And not abstract sin, but the real stuff.  And so, Debi has brought her very own pastor on to talk about this clause in the creed form a pastoral perspective and how it is one of the central themes in the Bible.  Enjoy the show, and make sure to share an episode and check out the the free Bible study at www.thesoulofchristianity.com

You say "Catholic" church, I say "Christian" church.  This clause of the creed is sometimes changed in Protestant churches to keep people from being confused, but we think you can handle the original, rich meaning of the term instead of a sectarian interpretation.  The Rev. Del Campbell, who could have filled two episodes with stories and anecdotes, joined the show to discuss the gospel hope found in this clause. Enjoy the show, and make sure to share an episode and check out the the free Bible study at www.thesoulofchristianity.com

On this episode, pastor and author Jared Wilson brings his exuberance for life and the gospel to bear on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.  Wilson helps us navigate between some of the craziness associated with the "work of the spirit" and the real Gospel hope we find in this doctrine. Enjoy the show, and make sure to share an episode and check out the the free Bible study at www.thesoulofchristianity.com

Judgement is not a fun topic to talk about, usually.  Fortunately we have the Rev Bill Cwirla who was not only a lot of fun, but actually turned judgement into a hopeful doctrine!  Enjoy the show, and make sure to share an episode and check out the the free Bible study at www.thesoulofchristianity.com

On this show we discuss a clause in the creed that is sometimes overlooked.  Being seated at the Right Hand of the Father might seem like an abstract theological idea, but Rev Donovan Riley centers the doctrine in the history of the church and the Gospel.  Enjoy the show, and make sure to share an episode and check out the the free Bible study at www.thesoulofchristianity.com

On this episode we were excited to talk with Dr. Mike Horton, known to many of us through his work on the White Horse Inn.  Dr. Horton has written so broadly on so many theological topics, we thought he might be helpful in taking that central doctrine, the Easter morning doctrine, and talk about it in light of the creeds, our faith, and the good news. Enjoy the show, and make sure to share an episode and check out the the free Bible study at www.thesoulofchristianity.com

On this episode, we talk with a dude that has seen plenty, in the academic world, in military service, and in the church.  Rev.
