Matt Trump battles tech gremlins and camera failures before settling in for a relaxed, story-filled exploration of the Nicene Creed on its 1700th anniversary, and the surprising role of St. Nicholas in the ancient struggle for Christian doctrine. He walks viewers through the origins of the Creed, the Greek philosophical roots behind its precise language, and why distinctions like homoousion vs. homoiousion mattered so deeply to the early Church. Matt contrasts this rigorous pursuit of meaning with today’s deconstructed culture, where words and truth have become unmoored. Along the way, he traces the real history of St. Nicholas, his feast-day traditions, and the legends surrounding his supposed confrontation with Arius at Nicaea. With sponsor shoutouts, personal reflections, linguistic deep dives, humor, and a warm Advent-season tone, Matt uses history to illuminate the modern fight against a world losing its grip on meaning, memory, and faith.
