Episode Summary

In this premiere reboot episode of Fresh Ground Theology, hosts Nate and David invite listeners into a warm, reflective space where faith is brewed slow, rich, and bold—like a good black cup of coffee. This isn’t your typical Christian podcast. It’s not about easy answers or surface-level theology. It’s about sacred conversations that dare to ask the hard questions, dig into ancient truths, and wrestle with modern challenges.

Whether you’re a lifelong believer, a seeker, or someone deconstructing and longing for deeper meaning, this episode lays the groundwork for what Fresh Ground Theology is all about—honest, reverent, and relevant theology for today’s world. The hosts share their personal journeys of faith, doubt, and calling, and explain why theology belongs not in ivory towers, but around kitchen tables, in coffee shops, and in the very heart of everyday life.

The episode also features a walk through the Nicene Creed—one of the foundational statements of Christian belief—and begins to explore what it truly means to live as a citizen of the Kingdom of God in the “already but not yet.”

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

A vision for Fresh Ground Theology—more than a podcast, it’s a space for reflection, depth, and transformation. Why theology should shape not just what we believe but how we live. Introducing The Distracted Christian—a soul-searching solo series on spiritual dryness, distractions, and rediscovering God’s presence. Nate and David’s personal journeys through faith, formation, and the call to deeper conversations. A modern, heartfelt breakdown of the Nicene Creed—what Christians have believed for centuries, and why it still matters today. How the church—despite its mess—is still sacred, and why it’s worth fighting for. What it means to live in Yahweh’s Kingdom in a broken world, and how theology helps us do just that.

Key Themes:

Christian theology in modern life Faith and doubt Spiritual formation The Nicene Creed explained Kingdom living The unseen realm Church hurt and healing Engaging both head and heart Practical discipleship Sacred tension in a secular world
