Deeper Dive Podcast (John 1:14-17)

This week Debbie, Randy, and Isaac discuss the incarnation of Jesus and how that has been talked about since the beginning of the church 2,000 years ago. Is jesus God, human, or something inbetween? This one ran a little long (as you might expect) at roughly 25 minutes. The office was a little cold today, so our apologies for the space heater background noise. 
We mention both the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed, here is a link to both side by side.
