"Hey Grok, has A.I. become an idol?" This week on the AC Podcast, Andy, Wes, and Troy dive into that very question.

We want a king! We want a king!"—a cry from 1 Samuel that has found a new voice in the modern era. "We want a leader!" shouts the culture, as it seeks to elevate individuals in both Christian and secular spaces, hoping they will lead the way to their proverbial "promised lands." With the pursuit of salvation and success dangling before us, how can believers discern whether they are called to follow or to lead? And is one truly better than the other? This week, Troy, Andy, and Steve dive into what some are calling "the cult of leadership.…

So much so, in fact, we often don’t even get to the point of disagreeing with someone else. We write one another off and refuse even to hold a conversation.

Steve sat down with Dr. Tim Muehlhoff of the Winsome Convictions project to discuss the latest book he co-wrote with his colleague, Dr. Sean McDowell.…
As we prepare for Christmas, the team at AC sat down to discuss the significance of the incarnation. Why is Jesus’ birth so important and worth celebrating? Christian doctrine has always held that Jesus’ birth is of incredible theological importance. Baby Jesus sets the stage for not only his life and death but how we are to understand the very nature of who God is and who we are in light of that. In this week's episode of the AC Podcast, The Quad explores the importance of Jesus' infancy and why the miracle of Immanuel matters for all of humanity—from the cradle (or manger) to the grave.…

Is Christian history the deepest explanation of the modern world? Today in the west, many consider the church to be dead or dying. Christianity is seen as outdated, bigoted and responsible for many of society’s problems. This leaves many believers embarrassed about their faith and many outsiders wary of religion. But what if the Christian message is not the enemy of our modern Western values, but the very thing that makes sense of them? In this episode Glen Scrivener engages in a conversation with Wesley Huff live at the AC Conference: "Can I Trust the Bible?" in Burlington Ontario. Glen shares how the story of how the teachings of Jesus not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think of life, worth, and meaning. Far from being a relic from the past, the distinctive ideas of Christianity, such as freedom, kindness, progress and equality, are a crucial part of the air that we breathe.…
For as long as the Christian faith has existed, interpretations of biblical doctrine have varied from one church to the next. But there's a significant difference between contextual interpretations of non-salvific issues and the outright teaching of false doctrine or a false gospel. So, what happens when someone’s teachings seem to fall somewhere between orthodoxy and heterodoxy, if that's even possible? This week on the AC Podcast, Troy, Andy, and Wes discuss the complexities of "Calling Out False Teachers" and explore what it means to defend the faith with grace, authority, and, when needed, a touch of nuance.…
Humanity has certainly accomplished remarkable feats through science and engineering. But how do these very useful human enterprises work? Do they stand by themselves or do they need something more? Andy, Steve, and Wes are back for a continued discussion on the dialogue between Richard Dawkins and Jordan Peterson as they delve into the “myth” of science in this week’s edition of the AC Podcast.…
The now-famous Canadian Psychologist Jordan Peterson recently released a discussion he had with prominent atheist Richard Dawkins (moderated by YouTuber Alex O'Connor - aka Cosmic Skeptic). Titled "Memes and Archetypes: Dawkins vs. Peterson," a prominent portion of the discussion focused around whether Peterson actually believes supernatural events like the virgin birth and resurrection actually took place. Andy, Steve, and Wes sat down for this week's podcast to comment on their conversation, specifically addressing the question: does it matter if we actually believe these biblical events happened if their archetypal significance reigns supreme?…
One of the most challenging and often overlooked topics in the church is sexual integrity. This week on the AC Podcast, Troy sits down with Bryan and Bonnie Pue, founders of "The Union Movement" and AC Adjunct speakers. From purity culture to today’s views on sexual identity, Bryan and Bonnie share their testimony and their passion for Jesus and His Word as they engage a confused and hurting culture. Ministry is a family affair for them, and in this episode, they offer a glimpse into their journey of faith and ministry.…
"Lights, camera, action—cue the egregious blood splatter!" Increasingly, films rely heavily on shockingly, and often grotesque, depictions of violence—ranging from mutilations to various forms of assault. What is equally shocking is how some Hollywood actors and filmmakers, who portray these graphic scenes, can be so hypocritical when they condemn real-world violence. On this week's episode, Troy and Andy are joined by filmmaker Sam McLoughlin, a friend of AC, to discuss the entertainment of violence and what it says about us.…
In a recent email we received the question, "Why can’t we add books to the Bible today?” On this week’s podcasts Wes and Andy sat down to talk about what the biblical canon really is, why its authors matter, and why the Bible’s table of contents is in fact a closed case.

Rock star Bon Jovi has received much media attention lately. Seeing a woman standing on the edge of a bridge, he cared enough to talk her out of jumping. She eventually came over the railing and received a big hug from him. Bon Jovi’s kindness was praised and resonated deeply with many. Yet, this heroic act of kindness also inadvertently reveals a culture deeply at odds with itself. Join Andy, Steve, and Troy as they discuss how our culture simultaneously champions those who want to end their life and those who talk people out of it.…
You may have heard the gospel many times but can you put the good news of Jesus into your own words? How do you personally explain what salvation is? Some people are intimidated to share the gospel in fear that there's a right or wrong way. Yes, there is wrong doctrine but is there a right way to share the gospel? In the New Testament, the gospel is explained in many different ways. Jesus had a simple yet profound way of teaching what he offered. This week on the AC Podcast, "The Quad" discusses New Testament approaches and their own personal way of sharing the gospel.…

Parenting comes with responsibilities. On that much, just about everyone can agree. But how should we hold parents responsible for the crimes of their children? And to what end? Such questions are being raised again in the wake of yet another school shouting in the US, this time in Georgia.

In some circles, there has been a recent increase in the awareness of the importance of Judaeo-Christian values for the Western civilization. From the abolition of slavery to the rise of modern science, these values have played a foundational role. But what do you do with slavery in the Bible? What do you do with Paul’s teaching against women teaching men? What about the Church’s opposition to Galileo? Andy, Steve, and Wes are back this week as they continue to offer their reactions to the dialogue between Alex O’Connor and Ben Shapiro.…
Are you freely choosing to read this? Or did something else cause you to do this very thing at this very moment, whether you liked it or not? Most people would say yes to the first part of this question, thinking that this is self-evident. After all, you could stop reading this if you wanted to. But what if, foundationally, this world is made up of nothing more than colliding particles? What if that sense of choice you have is nothing but a (very convincing) illusion? What does that mean for our lives? What does that mean for you reading this at this very moment?

Faithful Christian living requires that we treat the Bible seriously. If the Bible really is the word of God as Christians believe it to be, then to take the Bible lightly means to take God lightly. But what does this “serious reading” look like when we actually sit down with a Bible in hand? Should we read it literally or should we read it literarily? What is a metaphor? How does it work and how does it impact the way we read God’s word? Andy, Wes, and Steve are back this week on the AC Podcast to discuss these questions and more.…

There's nothing quite like an international sports gathering to capture the world's attention. Just a week into the Paris 2024 Olympics and the world is already buzzing about several controversies, most notably the Opening Ceremony. While it was said to be a celebration of diversity and inclusivity, many feel it made a mockery of the Christian faith with its provocative depiction of Da Vinci's Last Supper. This has prompted many to question the Olympic committee's agenda, and sadly, has highlighted a divide among believers regarding whether or not we should be offended or even surprised by paganistic practices.…
Our Father, who art in Heaven, are these prayers worth my time? This week on the AC Podcast, we delve into the practice and privilege of communing with God through prayer. This episode is inspired by a listener's email asking: "Do our prayers affect things? Should we pray for specific outcomes? Does praying for someone's healing make a difference? If prayer influences events, what are the qualifiers? If God answers 'small' prayers, shouldn't He also answer the 'big' ones?"

Is there one true God in three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? Is Jesus truly God and truly Man? Can God make a mistake?

What is the current status of theological beliefs among Christians in Canada? Andy had a chance to sit down with his good friend Rev.

Carl Lentz is the former lead pastor from Hillsong New York. Along with pastoring one of the most notable churches in the world he was also well-known for being the spiritual advisor to celebrities like Justin Bieber.

Recently, Lentz and his wife have come forward in their podcast "Lights On" to discuss things. On this week's podcast, Troy, Andy, and Wes got together to talk about the Lentz conversation and discuss the topic of reconciliation in light of leadership failing and the overall message of the gospel.…

Each year, from April 7th to July 4th, marks 100 days of mourning, commemorating the nearly 1 million people who were killed during this short period in 1994. In this week's episode of the AC Podcast, Andy sits down with local pastor Jean Michel for an insightful conversation about the effects of evil and how the person of Jesus leads us to hope and reconciliation.…
“The Bible is the word of God.” So say Christians. One implication of this is that the Bible cannot contradict itself. But what do we do with the differences between, say, the four Gospels? Why are Jesus’ genealogies different between Matthew and Luke? What were Jesus’ last words on the cross? Many skeptics quickly cry, “Contradiction!” Is that what we actually have? Wes and Steve sat down to hash out some alleged Bible contradictions in this two-part episode of the AC Podcast.…
The Four Horsemen of the New Atheists: Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett, have faded from the cultural spotlight they once attracted. The New Atheists are now the Old Atheists. In fact, only two of the four are still alive. The questions they once raised still linger faintly but cultural conversations have shifted dramatically. Instead of asking, "Does God exist?" there are now an array of books and personalities asking and answering questions of sex, gender, and race, to name but a few. We have new questions and new influencers that now dominate the conversation in the academy and households. Yet, as it turns out, the Old Atheists are not as irrelevant as one might think. On the AC podcast this week Andy, Steve, and Wes discuss how this current cultural moment is, in part, a product of their making and what we can learn from it moving forward.…
Is Satan the good guy? Spoiler alert: absolutely not. Yet, there's a rising trend in secular circles casting Satan as a misunderstood cosmic vigilante. From mainstream cartoons to lively round-table debates with Satanists, this narrative is gaining traction. Why is Satan suddenly getting a makeover? And what does this mean for believers and the broader culture? Join us on this week's AC Podcast as Troy, Steve, and Wes dive deep into the shift in perspective. Discover why this reimagining of Satan is spreading, and learn how it's moving from the shadows of the Church of Satan into mainstream media and pop culture. Whether you're a seasoned believer or simply curious about these cultural changes, this episode will surely challenge your thinking and spark meaningful conversation.…
If you've been a part of a church community for any length of time, you've likely experienced moments of hurt, disappointment, or even betrayal. These painful incidents often drive people away from their local congregation, their ministry, or, in the worst cases, the faith itself. But what if there's a way to address these wounds before they push us toward deconstructing our faith? What would it take for us to go from, the Church breaking our hearts, to our hearts breaking for the Church? Join us on this week's episode as we explore the power of empathy, forgiveness, and restoration within the body of Christ. Listen as Troy, Andy and Steve discuss how we can transform our church experiences into a movement of healing and unity for the whole body of Christ.…
On this week's episode of the AC Podcast, Troy sits down with TWU students, Rea, Marko, and Jeremy to talk about peace. Recently, this trio of student body leaders were invited to the 3rd Global Peace Summit organized by Humanitarian Affairs Asia. "It is a conference designed to empower the next generation of peacebuilders from diverse corners of the world." In addition to representing TWU at the GP Summit, Rea, Marko, and Jeremy were selected to attend as leaders at the conference. Only 11 people worldwide were accepted for a leadership role from 350 applicants. Listen to this week's episode to hear a story of hope, prayer, and representing Jesus on the global stage.…
In the realm of Christian figures, few have stirred as much controversy in recent years as Mark Driscoll. Amid the echoes of the podcast "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill," the rock-and-roll preacher once again finds himself at the epicenter of Christian discourse. Recently, as a guest speaker at one of the nation's largest Christian men's conferences, Driscoll sparked uproar by beginning his talk with a rebuke for opening the men's conference with a chest baring, male acrobat. This public disagreement led to a remarkable moment as Driscoll was escorted off stage by the event's host pastor, John Lindell. The fallout has left the Christian community divided, with opinions split on whether Driscoll or Pastor Lindell handled this correctly. Join us in this week's episode as Troy, Andy, and Wes delve into their perspectives on the incident.…
Once known as the leading figure of the Four Horsemen of New Atheism, Richard Dawkins made a name for himself for his vitriol against religion in general and Christianity in particular. So, then, it surprised many people to hear him self-identify as a cultural Christian. While he rejects the truth claims of Christianity, he still seems to see value in the impact of Christianity, at least in comparison to some other worldviews. Is this new from Dawkins? What should we make of the comment itself? Steve and Wes sat down to discuss them in this week’s edition of the AC Podcast.…
On this week's episode, Troy sits down for an in-person conversation with Trinity Western student, Rea and AC Adjunct speaker, Isaac Paul. The nature of their conversation revolves around the importance of interfaith dialogue. Listen as Rea unpacks her story of deconverting from Sikhism to Christianity and Isaac's insights as to how we can take a more relational approach to evangelism.…
Rest: an event that often eludes the entrepreneur, parents, and ministry leaders, among many others. As we observe the remainder of the Holy Week on Good Friday and Easter, a person should naturally be reflecting on the finished work of the cross. However, the scriptures outline that there is still much work to be done for the sake of the gospel, while also instructing us to find rest in God. So what is the true sabbath, and how should it be observed? Join Troy and Steve on this week's episode of the AC Podcast to hear their thoughts.…
Didn’t Jesus say that the Father is greater than he is? Didn’t he call the Father his God? Isn't he called the "firstborn" of God's creation? One of the core teachings of Christianity is the claim that Jesus is God. Yet, some verses seem to contradict this very claim. Andy, Steve, and Wes continue their discussion on the deity of Jesus this week by addressing some verses commonly brought up by those who reject this essential teaching of Christianity.…
One thing that sets Christianity apart is our view of Jesus as God. This core teaching is connected to other core teachings of the Church such as the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. So, it’s no surprise that those who reject Christian orthodoxy often come at it by denying the deity of Jesus. How would you back up the claim that Jesus is God? If you're not sure, you’ve come to the right place. Andy, Steve, and Wes sat down to address this important topic in this week’s episode of the AC Podcast.…
That's a wrap! The "Can I Trust the Bible" AC Conference in BC has come to another bittersweet end for 2024. From kicking off the weekend with the series premiere to packing out Northview Community Church, there's so much to be thankful for. On this week's episode of the AC Podcast, "The Quad" consisting of Troy, Andy, Steve, and Wes take the time to reflect and express their gratitude to all who made this year's BC Conference week a success.…
The popularity of psychedelics in the West, particularly in the pursuit of spiritual experiences, is only becoming more and more popular. For this week’s podcast Wes interviews Will Do, who grew up in a Buddhist household in Toronto and ended up later in his life following several New Age practices – including the partaking of several psychedelic substances. Will’s desire to find truth ultimately led him out of the New Age and hallucinogenic substances and into following the one who is The Truth.…
February is a month popularized by celebrating Black History Month. As such, we decided it would be appropriate to have an episode discussing the complexities of racism. From the portrayal of diversity in antiquity to modern jokes based on cultural identifiers, the need for gentleness can't be understated. In this week's episode the podcast team of Troy, Andy Steve and Wes seek to look at the biblical grounding for diversity while sharing their experiences with race.…
It’s easy for us to let our immediate church context define what the Church (capital “C”) looks like around the world. This is particularly so for those of us who live in a country where being a Christian is relatively easy. Today, Apologetics Canada brings you an eye-opening interview. Listen in on the conversation Steve had with Rev. Gary Stagg, the Executive Director of Open Doors Canada. They discussed Open Door’s 2024 World Watchlist, an annual list produced by Open Doors to rank the top 50 most dangerous countries to be a Christian. They talk about several notable countries mentioned on the list, and what is going on for the churches in those countries.…
Buried, burnt, and bygone. An entire library of ancient scrolls was buried under the ash and lava of Mt. Vesuvius in the city of Herculaneum, a Roman village less than 20km from the famous city of Pompei. But with some amazing new technology, these scrolls are being unrolled (digitally at least) and we can peer through the charred ash and carbon to read them for the first time in nearly 2000 years. Wes, Andy, and Troy get together on this week’s podcast to talk about the Herculaneum papyri and other advances in technology that have an impact on helping us have confidence in the historical evidence of the Bible.…
Adulting is hard and at no point does it appear to get easier. Yet, it's human nature to desire a reprieve from what seems like the cyclical woes of growing up. On this week's episode, Troy sits down with AC intern, Lyzandria. They discuss whether or not the young people of our generation have a healthy understanding of struggle and whether or not life's challenges are something we can be better prepared for.…
"We're going without, to go within!" On this week's episode of the AC Podcast Andy, Wes, and Troy are talking about a biblical view of fasting. While spoken about widely throughout scripture, why is it often a topic undervalued or even absent in the modern evangelical church? More than a diet or a trend, biblical fasting is a spiritual discipline that profoundly changes us to draw near to God.…
Do theists have any good arguments at all? Not according to Richard Dawkins. He was recently interviewed by Alex O’Connor, aka the Cosmic Skeptic. When asked what good arguments he had encountered, Dawkins replied that theists (including Christians) have no good arguments. Zero. Zilch. Zip. If that seems like a pretty bold statement, you are not alone. Andy, Steve, and Wes came together this week to offer their reactions to both O’Connor and Dawkins, and to hash out some of the implications of such an extreme statement.…
There will forever be a conversation about how the use of art and creativity can break down barriers and cross boundaries that otherwise may have seemed impossible. Yet, it can often be overlooked in theological circles as a tool for apologetics. On this week's episode, Troy talks with Premier Radio Director and Host, Ruth Jackson, about apologetics in art.…

For the last podcast of the year, we figured what better way to end 2023 than to close it out with a podcast reflecting on the miraculous incarnation of Christ! While Christmas may be over, the significance is still worth the conversation and undoubtedly more. Troy and Steve continued their conversation with our friend, Dr. Raphael Samuel, to delve into Part Two of the year-end podcast, "The Miracle of Christ."…
Christmas is just around the corner. ’Tis the time of the year when we take the time to reflect on God coming in the flesh. Our thinking often starts with the typical nativity scene, with Baby Jesus already lying in the manger in swaddling clothes. We rarely think about the pregnancy and the actual birthing process. Since we believe that Jesus is truly human as well as truly God, reflecting on the miracle of the human birth will help us appreciate the miracle of the divine birth. Troy and Steve sat down with our friend, Dr. Raphael Samuel, to delve into Part One of a two-part series titled "The Miracle of Birth.…
Is the God of the Bible a cosmic Grinch? What do we do with verses in both the New and Old Testaments that describe God "hardening people's hearts?" Wes and Andy sat down to talk about the character of God as it relates to God's goodness and how, why, and when he might harden someone's heart.
With the rise of social media, we are witnessing the rise of a new kind of celebrity: influencers. From testing cosmetics to advocating for political causes, influencers of all kinds impact the lives of thousands, and even millions, of followers. Many Christians, of course, have also joined this phenomenon. From the discipleship perspective, how should Christians approach being an influencer? What does it mean to be an influencer, anyway? And is an influencer distinct from a teacher? What implications does it have in terms of responsibility and accountability? Join Troy and Steve as they share their thoughts in this week’s edition of the AC Podcast.…
By now you have at least heard about Medical Assistance In Dying, otherwise known as MAiD. What you might not know is that MAiD safeguards have been quickly removed in Canada. Despite the best efforts of those in opposition, it appears we are set for new legislation in March that will expand access to MAiD to those suffering with mental illness. This has many of us concerned for these vulnerable people in our society. On this week's episode Andy sits down with David Guretzki PhD, President of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) to give us an update on MAiD and what we can do about it.…
"The stars at night, are big and bright... deep in the heart of... ETS....in Texas!" The Evangelical Theological Society is a professional academic society of biblical and theological scholars, pastors, and students. Sound intense? It is! On this week's episode Andy, Troy and Wes hang out with a few friends while attending this years annual conference in San Antonio, Texas. Why is there such a challenge with the head meeting the heart? Listen as they recount moments of inspiration as well as moments of that called for intellectual humility.…
When it comes to spiritual conversations in the church, there are few practices that bring up more discussion than speaking in tongues. What is it? Has the gift of tongues ceased or continued? How should it be practiced? Does speaking in tongues have salvific concern? Listen to Part 2 this week as Andy, Troy and Wes continue the discussion of tongues from their own personal experiences, and dive into some of the historical relevance and understanding of tongues in the ancient world.…
When it comes to spiritual conversations in the church, there are few practices that bring up more discussion than speaking in tongues. What is it? Has the gift of tongues ceased or continued? How should it be practiced? Does speaking in tongues have salvific concern? Listen to Part 1 of two this week as Andy, Troy and Wes discuss their own personal experiences, unpack some of the nuance and even begin to address what appears to be the contextual understanding of tongues in the ancient world.…
One of Jesus' well known parables is the parable of the sower, the idea that good soil, creates a conducive environment for good seed to grow and flourish. On this week's episode the full team sits down as Troy asks them to recount their time as students. From degrees to PhD's, what does it take to be good ground in order that you might produce good fruit.…
If you asked the average Believer if they believe the church is essential to Christian life, most if not all would say yes! They may point you to where scripture reminds us not to forsake the gathering of the saints, but why? Why do we need the church? On this week's episode Andy sits down with new Christians Nathan and Juniper and asks the question, "Why the Church?"…
Why can’t we hate men? That was the title of a 2018 Washington Post opinion piece written by Suzanna Danuta Walters, a sociologist at Northeastern University. Written in the wake of the MeToo movement, this piece offers a scathing criticism of men. The term “toxic masculinity” is familiar to most people by now, and this is increasingly becoming the default view of masculinity. Where does the concept of toxic masculinity come from? Does Christianity make a difference? Steve sat down with Professor Nancy Pearcey to discuss her most recent book, The Toxic War on Masculinity, in this eye-opening episode.…
If you've been paying even casual attention to your news feeds you'll have seen a lot of chaos and turmoil going on in the Middle East. The recent attacks in Israel and the response in reply against Hamas could very understandably be leaving you wondering what is going on. On today's episode Wes Huff sat down with Avner Boskey, a Jewish Canadian Christian currently living and ministering in Israel, to give some background and help us understand both what is going on currently as well as how we can respond as Christians. Avner's knowledge, personal experience, and heart for the gospel are clear and evident in this week's episode. We hope Avner's words will both educate and encourage you in navigating through the ongoing upheaval in currently in Israel and Palestine.…
