What Christians Believe, a podcast from byFaith magazine (PCA), takes listeners line by line through the Nicene Creed. Each episode examines a different line from the Creed, exploring its biblical roots, theological depth, and why it still matters for the church and everyday life today.
Ep. 9 Kevin DeYoung | On Covenant, The Church, And Israel
On this bonus episode of "What Christians Believe," host Derek Rishmawy and Kevin DeYoung look at how Covenant Theology shapes our understanding of the people of God, and how it differs from dispensationalism’s sharp line between Israel and the church. Rishmawy and DeYoung trace the biblical images of the olive tree, the temple and the “Israel of God” to show the church as Israel’s continuation and expansion in Christ rather than its replacement, and they consider what this means for Christians thinking about the modern Middle East.

Ep. 8 Scott Swain | The Covenant of Redemption
On this episode of What Christians Believe, host Derek Rishmawy and Scott Swain tackle one of the most foundational and misunderstood pieces of covenant theology: The Covenant of Redemption. Rather than a covenant between God and humanity, this is the pre-temporal, intra-Trinitarian arrangement between the Father and the Son as the one to be incarnate, laying the eternal groundwork for everything the series has covered so far. The conversation traces its biblical basis, unpacks the Son's role as kinsman-Redeemer, works through the Trinitarian objections critics have raised, and ends on the doctrine's pastoral payoff: assurance.
