The Jimmy Akin Podcast | Episode 103 (September 28, 2026)

William Lane Craig just told the internet he will not confess that the Son is eternally begotten of the Father. The clip exploded. Heresy charges followed. In this episode, Jimmy walks through the Nicene Creed, Craig’s “gold on Mars” dodge, and the New Testament texts that call Jesus Son before Bethlehem. He separates aseity from innascibility, applies the Church’s definition of heresy, and asks whether Craig is a formal heretic, a material one—or both. If you recite the Creed, this one is for you.
