We've covered the history and the politics of the Nicene Creed in the previous episode -- now let's explore it's meaning! This episode of Church Potluck dives deep into the text of the Nicene Creed on its 1700th birthday. Dale McConkey (sociologist and United Methodist pastor) hosts an engaging roundtable with Dr. Michael Papazian (Orthodox Christian and philosophy professor) and Dr. Jonathan Parker (Anglican priest and Bible scholar), exploring what the creed says, how it's used across traditions, and why it still matters today. With history, theology, humor, and even a game show draft of the creed’s key statements, this lively conversation brings ancient words to life.
From Christ’s divinity to the nature of the Trinity, the hosts reflect on why creeds exist, how they unify the global church, and what we risk losing if we ignore them. The episode is full of honest reflection, spirited banter, and deep insight into Christian belief. Whether you're a lifelong creed-reciter or new to the whole idea, this episode will leave you both informed and inspired.
