Peaceing It Back Together
The atmosphere of Peaceing it Back Together is driven by a zeal for learning, particularly in the realm of Christian theology. the Christian life is one traversed from finitude into the infinite, a journey with no end or completion in sight, therefore, there is much to be discussed surrounding this life. Come alongside myself, Collin J. Ellis, and others, as we delve into the realm of Christian thought and attempt to become better followers of Jesus day by day.
I pray that the Holy Spirit will teach you, convict you, and lead you to grow deeper in your intimacy and all-around relationship with the triune God. Peace and blessings to you dear friend and listener.

Peaceing It Back Together
Understanding the Council of Nicaea (AD/CE 325)
In Episode 2 of this series on the Ecumenical Councils of the Early Church, Christopher McCormick joins me again to delve even deeper into the Council of Nicaea. What is arguably the first Ecumenical Council, taking place in AD/CE 325, a variety of issues become debated, but none more popular than the Arian Controversy. What is now deemed a Christological heresy, helped the Church come to one place wherein they would discuss a singular doctrine that defined the specifics of Jesus as God, primarily, whether or not He was of the same substance as the Father. This council welcomes in the conversation of the first century that helped to develop the theological notion of the Trinity.
Therefore, it is one that is extraordinarily important for Christians to know about, and I believe as you come to understand it, you might just come to see the lack of clarity throughout Church history. Sometimes, it is hard to truly understand what happened during specific events and/or conversations, but in it all we can see Christ dwelling within His people and continuously bringing restoration to humanity as a whole.
