For part 8 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:

he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

Ok so Jesus was born (Christmas), lived and did ministry and healed and taught and stuff, then was killed (Good Friday), and rose again (Easter) before he ... ascended into heaven. It's a big deal, but probably the most confusing part of his story on earth? So we called our most-listened to guest, our brilliant friend, the Rev. (future-Dr.!) Kelli Joyce, to unpack this for us. (Her previous episode with us, "What is Confession?" remains our #1 episode ever!)

The Rev. Kelli Joyce is an Episcopal priest and a PhD student at Vanderbilt University.
