    We come at last to the final episode of this series on the mystery of the Incarnation: the mystery of who Jesus Christ is and what he does. This week, we finally get to the Council of Chalcedon and its emphatic declaration that Jesus Christ is ONE person who subsists in TWO natures. But how did we get there, and what does it mean for us today?

  • BONUS: Who Do You Say I Am? (pt. IV)
    Sep 24 2026

    If the last two episodes focused on how Jesus Christ is fully human and fully divine, this episode starts to look at that word "and." How can we assert both with diminishing the significance of either one? How did the Word really become flesh? And is it right to call Mary the "Mother of God"?
