Are Jesus and God the Same? with Erin Baumgaertel

About this episode

The episode explores the concept of the Trinity and the relationship between Jesus and God, featuring insights from guest Erin Baumgaertel.

Happy Wednesday! This week we are joined by guest Erin Baumgaertel for a conversation on one of the most foundational — and most misunderstood — topics in Christianity: the Trinity. Together we dive into questions like: Are Jesus and God the same? How does the Trinity actually work? And what makes the Christian understanding of God distinct from beliefs held by groups like Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons? This episode is thoughtful, biblical, and packed with insight to help you better understand the nature of God and grow in confidence when defending your faith. We hope this conversation encourages you and deepens your understanding of who God is. -- -- -- -- -- LINKS https://ses.edu/people/erin-baumgaertel/ Delighting in the Love of God with Stephanie Rousselle Taking Back Your Thoughts with Mary Rooney Armand The Gift of Desperation with Shelli Strickland How Do I Know God's Will For My Life? - Cailee's Story I Was Trying to Prove Atheism with Mary Jo Sharp The Kingdom of God Starts Now with Brant Hansen The Gospel is Offensive with Adam and Candice Coleman Taking Back Your Power Through Forgiveness with Amy Orr-Ewing Does My Suffering Have Any Meaning with Allen Crostic How…
