You’ll hear about where the Apostles’ Creed (the short, ancient one) and the Nicene Creed (the longer one we use at Mass) came from, why the early Church needed them, and how they helped shut down big misunderstandings like Arianism.

No jargon overload—just clear, honest teaching rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and the Church’s own voice.</p> <p>New episodes drop weekly, and each series runs about 10–12 weeks before we move on to the next big topic: the Sacraments, the Commandments, Prayer, and more. Great for your commute, a walk, the gym, or just quiet time with coffee.</p>

The Old Testament (Week 2): Adam & Eve
Abbot Ankido emphasizes covenant as the key to Scripture because covenants form family, arguing an implied covenant with Adam and Eve later “renewed” with Noah and clarified by Luke’s genealogy calling Adam “son of God.” Adam’s vocation is framed as priest, king, and prophet—charged to “till and keep” the garden as priestly duty and to offer himself in obedience—yet he fails by allowing the serpent’s temptation. This lecture begins unpacking Genesis 3, highlighting the serpent’s subtle distortion of God’s character, the half-truth about death, and the temptation to “be like God” through owning morality (moral relativism/autonomy). ––– New episodes drop weekly.

The Old Testament (Week 1): "In the Beginning"
Abbot Ankido begins his new series on the Old Testament and hyper-focuses on Genesis 1–3 as the foundation for the rest of the Bible: God creates the world from nothing (creatio ex nihilo) and humanity is created in God’s image with a unique breath of life. The lecture contrasts Genesis with other ancient creation myths and explains Eden’s three-part “temple” structure. Adam is described as priest, prophet, and king, but fails these roles during the serpent’s temptation, leading to spiritual death, broken relationships, and disorder in creation. Fr. Ankido also frames the rest of Scripture as God restoring the broken covenant and ultimately bringing “new creation.”

The Creed (Week 8): The Breath of Life
In the final lecture on the Creed, Abbot Ankido explains how the Nicene Creed was expanded at the Council of Constantinople (381 AD) after Nicaea (325 AD) to definitively affirm the divinity of the Holy Spirit against those who denied it, and why the added lines about “one holy Catholic and apostolic Church,” “one baptism,” and the resurrection describe the Spirit’s effects in Christians. Using John 20, Genesis, Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones, and Acts 2, he argues the Spirit is truly given to believers, reversing sin’s rupture with God and others, empowering the apostles, and making Pentecost the Church’s “birthday.” He contrasts sacramental life with symbolic-only approaches, explains baptism’s indelible mark and why it isn’t repeated, describes the Spirit as the Church’s “soul” (Augustine/John Paul II), and connects the Communion of Saints to prayer to saints and the Church as God’s family. Next week, Abbot Ankido will begin his lecture series on the Old Testament. ––– New episodes drop weekly.
