On this episode of the Amateur Christian Podcast we discuss the first article of the Apostles Creed.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

Seems simple, but with Devin, things seldom are.

How does the Apostles Creed set you apart from other beliefs, pagans and even other "christians"?

Mike and Devin begin a journey through the Apostles Creed. This episode serves as an introduction to an ancient statment of faith, still recited weekly by many millions of Christians of many denominations to this very day. Join us as we contemplate the power in collectively affirming the content of the Christian faith. In each following episode, we will single out and examine each article of faith found in the creed in the order they are recited.

Have you ever heard somebody quote the verse "where two or more are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them," and wondered; "what does that mean?"

In this episode Mike and Devin bounce across the bible to find out what that means, and how it might not be exactly what it seems.

What is your favorite pop culture depiction of Santa Clause? Biker Mike and Kickstand discuss their top picks and why. What makes a good Santa, a good priest or pastor, or a good christian?

Who was the man who inspired Santa Clause? From humble beginnings on the Mediterranean Sea, to fist fights deciding the nature of the trinity, to the mythological figure who visits every December 24th... learn a little bit about St. Nicholas of Myra.

Mike takes the lead this week examining Paul's symbolism in Ephesians 6, The Full Armor of God.

This week we sit down with Andrew Eby, the lead pastor of the North Peace Mennonite Brethren Church and Co-host of the North Peace Round Table Podcast, and talk about his role in the Church, his podcast, the role of Church membership and more. Conversations like this are a great way to get to know the person and personality of the guy you might call "Pastor", and realize they love a good cat, cracking jokes, and just being good dudes to hang out with.

This episode features Fr. Matthew Francis of the Holy Apostles Orthodox Mission in Chilliwack BC, Canada.

On this episode Fr. Matthew talks to Kickstand and Biker Mike about the Eastern Orthodox practices of recognizing and venerating canonical Saints, particularly in light of his church canonically recognizing a new saint just recently.

We hope you enjoy this interview, our first of its kind on Amateur Christian.
