In this episode, Dr. Busenitz and Dr. Chou continue their conversation with Dr. Mike Riccardi about the Trinity. They talk about how evangelicals can--unintentionally--misrepresent the Trinity. And they show how the source of so much division in the church is often a misguided, or even dangerous, view of the Trinity.

What is the Trinity, Part 1
John Calvin said “it is impossible to praise God without also uttering the praises of the Father, of the Son, and of the Spirit.” The three persons Calvin is referring to are, of course, the Trinity. What does the Bible say about this doctrine? How do we think correctly about the relationships within the Trinity? And how should this central aspect of God affect how we live each day? To answer those and more questions about the Trinity, Dr. Chou and Dr. Buzenitz are joined by Dr. Michael Riccardi, theology professor at The Master’s Seminary. Together, they take a deep look at who God is and what the fact that he is Trinity means for all of us.
