67: Where Is the Trinity in the Bible? Hiding in Plain Sight

🎙️ Episode Title: Unpacking the Trinity: From Genesis to Glory
Is the Trinity really in Scripture? We explore the Old and New Testament evidence that reveals God’s triune nature woven through the entire Bible.
Description:The word Trinity doesn’t appear in the Bible—but the fingerprints of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are everywhere. In this episode, Todd and Laura float through the Garden of Eden, land at the Jordan River, and ride a theological rollercoaster through Ephesians 1 to show how Scripture reveals the triune nature of God from start to finish.
We start in Genesis 1:26, where God says, “Let us make man in our image”—a divine hint that there’s more going on than meets the eye. From creation to salvation, we see the dance: the Father initiates, the Son carries it out, and the Spirit breathes it into being.
Then we splash into the baptism of Jesus, where all three persons of the Trinity show up in glorious unity—Heaven opens, the Spirit descends, and the Father speaks.
We also unpack Ephesians 1, where Paul lays out the beautiful roles each person of the Trinity plays in our redemption. And finally, we time-travel to the early church where the Nicene Creed was forged in fire to defend the truth: God is one in essence, three in person—eternally in relationship and glorification.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
The Bible shows the Trinity in action, even if the word isn’t there.
The Nicene Creed helps us guard against heresies and half-truths.
Grasping the Trinity helps us grasp God’s love, purpose, and our identity in Him.

68: The Father You've Been Missing

What if the God you’ve been avoiding is actually the Father you’ve been longing for?
In this conversation, Todd, Laura, and Kelly unpack one of the most misunderstood persons of the Trinity: God the Father. Is He angry? Distant? Disconnected from the love and grace of Jesus? Not even close.
We trace His heart from the Old Testament through the New, revealing a deeply personal Father who initiates redemption, loves relentlessly, and invites us into real relationship—not religion. From the parable of the Prodigal Son to the bold claims of Christian theology, this episode clears up common misconceptions about God, showing how the Father’s love has always been the driving force behind salvation.
✅ If you’ve ever wrestled with your view of God…✅ If you’ve felt closer to Jesus than the “Old Testament Father”…✅ If you’re ready to rethink what it means to walk with God as Father—this one's for you.

69: The Angry God Myth

In this episode, Todd, Laura, and Kelly dive deep into the mystery of the Trinity, unpacking the eternal relationship between the Father and the Son, and the profound significance of the Logos—God’s divine Word and creative expression. They explore how Scripture reveals the intimate connection at the heart of the Godhead, and how that relationship fuels His eternal plan for salvation.
From the foundations of the world, God's redemptive purpose was already in motion. This conversation challenges common misconceptions, like the idea that “the Trinity isn’t in the Bible,” and offers biblical insight into how faith, knowledge, and relationship with God are interwoven.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to say “God is love,” or how the early church wrestled with defining the Trinity, this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways:– The Trinity is central to understanding God's nature, even if the word itself isn't in Scripture– The Logos is more than a title—it’s the active, creative Word of God– Salvation was never a backup plan; it was always the plan– Knowing God is a never-ending journey of revelation and relationship– Every word of Scripture matters in shaping our faith and view of God
Sound Bites:🗣️ "The Trinity is not in the Bible."🗣️ "God’s plan was always this way."🗣️ "We are soaked in God’s presence."

70: Where Does Jesus Fit in the Trinity?

In this episode of Naughty vs. Nice, Todd and Laura pull back the curtain on the Trinity—zeroing in on the Son. Who is Jesus in the divine dance? More than a name in a creed. He’s the King the prophets saw coming, the final High Priest, and the last Word spoken.
They trace the thread from Old Testament prophecy to New Covenant fulfillment, showing how Christ wears the crown, bears the cross, and sits in judgment even now. No more priests. No more prophets. Jesus finishes what the old system could only start.
You’ll also hear why the occult always offers a knockoff version of God's truth—and why the “already but not yet” Kingdom isn’t just theology, it’s reality. This isn’t fluffy faith. It’s the real deal: judgment, authority, communion, and the God who saves by becoming the Son.
