What is still relevant today as we celebrate the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea? Dr. Joel Elowsky (Professor of Historical Theology, Dean of Advanced Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Early Christian Texts at Concordia Seminary St. Louis) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about the upcoming Theological Symposium at Concordia Seminary all about “Nicaea 1700,” including the state of the church at the time of the Council of Nicaea, why the Council was called, who was present or represented, what it accomplished, and what Symposium attendees will learn about the Council, the Nicene Creed, and its contemporary applications. Learn more about the Theological Symposium happening September 16-17 at Concordia Seminary St. Louis by visiting csl.edu/resources/continuing-education/theological-symposium.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
