ByFaith Magazine has launched a new podcast, ‘What Christians Believe’, examining the Nicene Creed. 
Each episode examines a different line of the creed to understand its meaning and ongoing significance for Christians. 
This year marks the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, from which the Nicene Creed emerged.

 
Each episode of ‘What Christians Believe’ will feature a discussion with a theologian focusing on a particular statement of the creed. The episodes and featured guests are as follows:

• Kevin DeYoung on why the Nicene Creed matters.
• Blair Smith on God the Father.
• Brandon Crowe on the person of Christ.
• Scott Swain on the eternally begotten Son.
• K.J. Drake on the virgin birth.
• Hans Madueme on the suffering of Christ.
• Jason Pickard on the resurrection of Christ.  
• Ligon Duncan on the ascension of Christ. 
• Michael Allen on the return of Christ.
• Kevin DeYoung on the Holy Spirit.
• Drew Martin on the church and baptism.
• Michael Allen on the world to come.
