About this listen

Why does the Nicene Creed still matter 1,700 years later?

In this episode of The Forum Podcast, Sam Ha, Theological Librarian and Curator of the Meeter Center for Calvin Studies, joins Phillip Palacios to reflect on the enduring significance of the Nicene Creed and its place in the life of the church today.

Recorded in the context of Calvin Theological Seminary’s 150th anniversary, the conversation explores how ancient creeds and Reformed confessions continue to shape Christian belief, worship, and practice. Sam draws connections between the Nicene Creed, the Heidelberg Catechism, and John Calvin’s conviction that theology must be lived, pastoral, and responsive to the needs of the world.

Touching on themes of suffering, unity, pilgrimage, and hope, this episode invites listeners to see the creed not as a relic of the past, but as a living confession—one that anchors faith, fosters unity across cultures, and calls the church to faithful witness today.

The Forum Podcast is a production of Calvin Theological Seminary.
