Have you ever seen a Christian make the sign of the cross? You might think this practice is a weird Catholic thing. But, when you look at the historical and biblical context for it, it looks a lot more like it's just a Christian thing.
In today's episode, we're digging into the roots of the sign of the cross. When did the church start doing this? Why did they start doing it? What does the Bible have to say about the sign of the cross? And what's the deep, hidden meaning in this simple ritual.

Jesus prayed for his church to be united in purpose just as him and the Father are united in purpose. When I look around at the church today and see thousands of denominations - it seems like we're failing pretty miserably.
Today, I get to sit down with Greg Thiessen, who teaches History of Christianity among his other awesome roles at Columbia Bible College. We discuss how the united Church of the New Testament split into the groups we see today, whether or not denominations are a bad thing, and why we all can't "just love Jesus".
Stick around to the end of the episode for a brand new segment: Hot Seat. I saved a super difficult question for Greg for the very end and put him on the spot. Basically, the question is: Can a person deny the Trinity and yet still be saved by Jesus Christ? Greg's answer is interesting, shocking, and something that requires a lot of reflection on my part. If you want to hear some of my post-interview thoughts on Greg's answer, listen to the separate bonus episode, Hot Seat: Can You Deny the Trinity and Be Saved?, which will be released after this episode.
