In this episode of Naughty vs. Nice , Todd and Laura pull back the curtain on the Trinity—zeroing in on the Son. Who is Jesus in the divine dance? More than a name in a creed. He’s the King the prophets saw coming, the final High Priest, and the last Word spoken. They trace the thread from Old Testament prophecy to New Covenant fulfillment, showing how Christ wears the crown, bears the cross, and sits in judgment even now. No more priests. No more prophets. Jesus finishes what the old system could only start. You’ll also hear why the occult always offers a knockoff version of God's truth—and why the “already but not yet” Kingdom isn’t just theology, it’s reality. This isn’t fluffy faith. It’s the real deal: judgment, authority, communion, and the God who saves by becoming the Son. Book References: Tim Keller - The Reason for God Robert Letham - The Holy Trinity *Affiliate Links used…

🎙️ Episode Title: Unpacking the Trinity: From Genesis to Glory Description: The word Trinity doesn’t appear in the Bible—but the fingerprints of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are everywhere . In this episode, Todd and Laura float through the Garden of Eden, land at the Jordan River, and ride a theological rollercoaster through Ephesians 1 to show how Scripture reveals the triune nature of God from start to finish. We start in Genesis 1:26, where God says, “Let us make man in our image” —a divine hint that there’s more going on than meets the eye. From creation to salvation, we see the dance: the Father initiates, the Son carries it out, and the Spirit breathes it into being. Then we splash into the baptism of Jesus, where all three persons of the Trinity show up in glorious unity—Heaven opens, the Spirit descends, and the Father speaks. We also unpack Ephesians 1, where Paul lays out the beautiful roles each person of the Trinity plays in our redemption. And finally, we time-travel to the early church where the Nicene Creed was forged in fire to defend the truth: God is one in essence, three in person—eternally in relationship and glorification. 🔑 Key Takeaways: The Bible shows the Trinity in action, even if the word isn’t there.
