1700 years ago, a Christian council was held that defined the church from that point forward. Does this meeting of Christian bishops matter today? What were they fighting over? Why is it astonishing that what they said is still affirmed by all Christians everywhere this many years later? In this episode, we seek to show a quick history and the overall importance of the Nicene Creed.

- “Confessions are about what we believe; creeds are about in whom we believe. Creeds are not meant as comprehensive statements of the Christian faith; they’re instead pledges of allegiance to the three persons of the Trinity.” -Donald Fairbairn
- C.S. Lewis said they there’s two ways to expose your blind spots: Go into the future to see what we missed or go back to the past to see what we forgot about. We haven’t discovered how to go into the future yet, he says, but we do have a way of going into the past which is writing old writings and books.
