Podcast Description

What does it truly mean to worship the one true God? Today Hippolytus of Rome delivers a powerful defense of the Trinity against the modalist heresy of Noetus, showing how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct yet one in power and economy. Augustine continues his raw self-examination, confessing how the beauty of sacred music can elevate the soul to God while also tempting the senses toward distraction.
