## Resource

In this Advent episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot, Dr. Michael Thiessen, and Pastor Nate Wright continue their discussion of Think Christianly by examining why the divinity of Jesus Christ is essential to the Christian faith and the gospel itself. Drawing on John 1, the early church fathers, and the historic battles against heresies such as Gnosticism and Arianism, the hosts explain why Christ must be fully God and fully man to accomplish salvation. They explore the significance of the incarnation, the Council of Nicaea, and why reducing Jesus to a moral teacher undermines Scripture, creation, and redemption. This episode calls Christians to recover both the awe and the doctrinal clarity needed to confess Christ as the eternal Word made flesh—God with us, for our salvation.
