In a time where corruption and confusion have led many to deconstruct or leave the Church entirely, discover the ancient creed that casts a beautiful vision to help you reconstruct your faith and draw you home.

The Church today has lost its way. We've pursued the wrong priorities, put our hope in personalities, and elevated popularity over spiritual maturity. And it's not just the Church that's lost; we are too. As culture wars rage and competing voices argue, many Christians are left asking a basic question, What's a Christian, anyway?

Pastor and theologian Glenn Packiam digs back into ancient Christianity to a time like ours to show you the Nicene Creed and discover how you can return to the living heart of what it means to be a Christian.

In What's a Christian, Anyway you will:

  • Discover how the Creed--born in an ancient time of controversy, confusion, and disunity much like today--is not just a statement of beliefs, but a rope to lead us home
  • Experience an invitation into the mystery and wonder of God through these ancient words
  • Rediscover a path to becoming faithful witnesses to the way of Jesus as we learn to live into the Creed's beautiful story, stunning hope, and powerful vision of what a Christian is

The world yearns for Christ's joy, peace, and hope, but the gospel is only believable if Christians live like it's true. Join this adventure into the heart of authentic Christianity, and rediscover for yourself the fresh, timeless power of our Creed and return to the living heart of what it means to be a Christian.
