In our pilot episode, Emily and Greg introduce themselves and kick off a discussion of the Unity of God and some of its implications. Theology Proper--the study of God as He is in Himself--speaks of the Singularity and the Simplicity of God: that is, there is only one God (who created everything that exists), and God isn’t made up of pieces or parts. He expresses Himself fully in each of His infinite attributes, and reveals those attributes in the Bible.

This episode features: The French Fries of God, How To Be a Perfect Student in a Christian School, Emily’s Preaching Pet Peeve, the Sh’ma, the Unsettling Origins of the Pledge of Allegiance, Francis Schaeffer Demands Tea, and God’s Will for Your Life.
