Why do we confess the Apostles’ Creed or the Nicene Creed in worship? Doesn’t that make us Roman Catholic?

In this episode of Catechizing Conversations, we dismantle the common misconception that creeds and confessions belong to Rome. By walking through the Reformation debate on Scripture and tradition—especially Luther’s critiques—we show why Protestants have always been a creedal people.

We explore the Didache and early church catechesis, Carl Trueman’s three foundational assumptions for confessional Christianity, and the rich world of biblical creeds found in both the Old and New Testaments.

Creeds didn’t begin with Rome. They began with Moses, Jesus, and the apostles.

This episode will help you begin to understand why creeds are not optional—but essential—for the life, unity, and faithfulness of the church.
