One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

Christianity has faced nearly two millenniums of a faith which has been
tested, persecuted, tried, and yet blessed; a commonality in Jesus Christ
exists among global believers of diverse backgrounds, traditions, and cultures;
and further, believers throughout the centuries are a part of the same adopted
family. This collective group of people from disparate cultures, backgrounds,
and even eras is called the church. All three major creeds of the Christian
faith (the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed) refer
to the body of Christ as and affirms Christian belief in one holy catholic and
apostolic church. This affirmation dismays many readers and hearers who do not
possess an appropriate understanding of the church universal. The term,
catholic (not the denomination), equates to universal or all-encompassing, i.e.
the church is a single body of many believers and even denominations. It is,
therefore, appropriate to affirm one’s Christian belief in such a doctrine and
rejoice in the body which Christ has redeemed. Within the text of the three
major creeds, four essentials exist which are primary to a right belief of the
church.
