As culture continues to change, it seems that many Christians continue to adapt to the changes. Many people are saying yes and amen to things that should be avoided rather than encouraged and celebrated. What about swearing? The use of profanity in today’s culture is something that most people do not even think twice about. Is profanity something that Christians should use in their day-to-day conversations, or is it something that we ought to avoid? Does the Bible say anything about the use of swear words, crude language, crude joking? What about using the Lord’s name in vain, is that worse? Join host Andrew Marcus as he does a deep dive with previous host and pastor at Northview Church, Joshua Scott, where they unpack what the Word of God says and how we are called to live as believers in today’s culture.
Our minds are factories of thoughts - some intentional, some not. Sometimes these thoughts are born of morbid curiosity, and other times these thoughts arise from our sinful hearts. Where do these thoughts come from? How do we deal with such thoughts? What about negative self-talk? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with pastor and author John Beeson where they discuss the root of these thoughts and practical tools to help navigate them when they spontaneously show up in your thought life!
God is doing great things in the Middle East. The stories of people having visions of Jesus, brothers in the Lord getting sent to jail, not realizing their purpose of being there was to share the Good News with those on the inside!

You will be so inspired to live out your faith for Christ by these stories!
A lot of people quote the passage incorrectly and say that money is the root of all kinds of evil. They are missing one key word. Love. It is, in fact, the love of money that is the root of all kinds of evil. Money in itself is not evil. It can be used for good and for God! The Bible talks a lot about money. The importance of saving, the dangers of debt, and the temptation to worship it rather than use it for the glory of God. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author, investor and entrepreneur David Ash where they unpack 6 key principles for financial freedom. It is important to get your finances in order to be good stewards of God’s money!
We continue our World Religions Unraveled series with an insightful conversation studying the history and teachings of Sikhism. As Christians, we ought to be aware of the differences and similarities that others practice in different faith backgrounds in order to have meaningful conversations and be used to help lead people to the LORD. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Isaac Paul where they do a deep dive unpacking the theology of Sikhism and the practical ways we can engage in healthy, God-honouring conversations with those who are faithfully practicing.
Our World Religions Unraveled series is designed to equip Christians with resources and tools to engage in meaningful conversations with people who practice different religions. Understanding other religions and cultures is an important aspect of evangelism. Hinduism is a religion that has been around for many years and continues to grow in influence all over the world. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Pastor Suraj Kasula, all the way in Nepal as he shares his radical conversion story from Hinduism to Christianity. He shares the history of Hinduism, their theology and the best practices for Christians to ask the right questions when sharing our faith with Hindus.

Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Isaac Paul where they unpack the history, theology, and powerful practical resources to help you engage in healthy, God-honouring dialogue with those who practice Islam.
As Christians, we have been given a great commission. A task that is vitally important as we continue to journey through all that life throws at us. Evangelism is essential to a believer’s life. We are called to (with our words and actions) preach the Gospel to all those God puts in our spheres of influence. When is the last time you shared your faith with a friend, co-worker, family member or even a stranger? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Gloria Furman where they unpack some practical advice on evangelism, some spiritual practices that are essential and a major pitfall to avoid!
Gender dysphoria continues to be the story for many young people in today’s society. The community of young people going through permanent, life-altering surgeries as they search for their true self is growing rapidly. It is important to stay rooted in God’s Word as we navigate loving people well and showing compassion. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Kyla Gillespie, unpacking her powerful story of faith, identity and transformation. Kyla shares her deeply personal journey of grappling with gender dysphoria from a young age, her eventual transition to living as a male, and her profound experience of faith that led her to de-transition and embrace her identity as a woman committed to following Jesus.
There are so many questions when it comes to eschatology and our views on the end times. It is important to study and be aware of today’s climate in the spiritual world and the glorious hope we have awaiting for us as followers of Christ. Are we currently in the end times? Is there a such thing as a rapture? When will it happen? What are the different end times theologies and why are there different viewpoints? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Pastor Brent Smith from Riverside Calvary Chapel where they dive deep into the Rapture, the book of Revelation and our blessed hope that awaits us in Christ!
MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) continues to gain popularity. In fact, here in Canada, we are statistically leading the charge. People are traveling literally from around the world to go through the procedure of ending their life. Is this something that should be concerning as a Christian? Where should we stand when it comes to MAID? How do we, as believers, help those who are contemplating going this route? How do we grieve with hope if we’ve lost someone through MAID? As medical assistance in dying continues to gain popularity, we need to equip ourselves with a solid biblical foundation on the importance of life and how to navigate through these challenging discussions with grace.
It is important for us to look throughout history to be inspired by the goodness of God and His faithfulness amongst His children. We learn how to stay strong when we go through hardships and how to remain faithful even when we feel like giving up. George Muller, evangelist, pastor and director of an orphanage in Bristol, England was a man of great faith who suffered great loss and endured unimaginable suffering. Yet in the midst of all he went through, we see a man of faith, a passionate prayer warrior and someone who deeply loved Jesus. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends with pastor Garrett Kell where they walk through George Muller’s life and glean wisdom from a man who remained faithful till the end.
Life is always moving quickly! As Christians, sometimes it’s important for us to take a moment, stop and remind ourselves of some basic definitions. We hear the terms missions, missionary and evangelism often in gospel conversations, but what do they mean and how do we live them out? Going on a missions trip could be somewhere far away in some remote area, but The Great Commission is something we should be doing all the time. What’s the difference between MISSION and MISSIONS? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with pastor and author David Platt where they discuss the difference between missions and being on mission, and how it ought to look in the life of a genuine believer!
The Book of Psalms is filled with amazing songs that teach us so much about who God is and what He has done for us! It shows us what a true and genuine relationship looks like, an opportunity that we all have when we put our faith and trust in Jesus! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Shane Heilman from The Psalms Project where they unpack the significance of the book of Psalms, and how important it is for us to immerse ourselves in God’s Word!
There is a big distinction that we need to address in the area of kindness. Kindness is far more than being nice. Christians are called to show kindness in a world that often promotes meanness. But what is true kindness? How do we define it? What does it look like in everyday life? Join guest host Daniel Markin as he spends time with Nate Pickowicz, pastor of Harvest Bible Church, where they discuss his latest book called The Kindness of God. Nate shares a bit of his personal journey and unpacks key elements in his latest book to help us understand the true kindness of God and how to apply it to our everyday lives, especially in the midst of suffering.
Often times we hear people grumbling and complaining about immigration, how our country and the cities that make it up are becoming over populated and causing all sorts of headaches. Is it possible that we are just looking at all that is happening with the wrong perspective? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Dr. John Neufeld from Back to the Bible Canada where they unpack what God is doing in our world today and how we can be on mission to share our faith with all those God is bringing into our spheres of influence.
There are many people in today’s society and throughout history who believed that Jesus was a real person. They believe he was a good person, a teacher, and that he helped many people. But when it comes to the resurrection, this is where they begin to doubt. In a compelling episode on THE INDOUBT SHOW, host Andrew Marcus sits down with George Sinclair (Pastor of Church of the Messiah) as they delve into the depths of evidence surrounding the resurrection of Jesus. George Sinclair, renowned for his scholarly contributions to Christian apologetics, articulates the multifaceted strands of evidence we find throughout the Word of God and how the resurrection transformed early church communities!
Why did the angel of the Lord come down to kill Moses and how did Gershom's circumcision save his life? Why does God tell Balaam to go to Balak and then get angry at him for actually going? You may have experienced a time in your daily devotionals where you’ve come across strange passages like these that just don't make any sense to you. You read through your Bible’s study notes at the bottom and you still find yourself scratching your head wondering what it means or why it was even included in the text. What do we do then? Join host of THE INDOUBT SHOW Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Back to the Bible Canada teacher Dr. John Neufeld LIVE at the 2024 Apologetics Canada Conference as they talk through what to do with challenging passages of Scripture.
If you don’t know this, there are no real references to people dating in the Bible. With that being said, there are many biblical principles we can apply to make sure we have a godly view of dating. But how do we put those into practice? Is there a certain age to start dating? How long is too long when dating someone? How do you know when you are ready to date? Or if you are dating, how do you know when it’s time to get engaged? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time in studio with Northview Church’s Young Adults pastor Fredy Orozco where they unpack all things dating and how to set yourself up for success!
Have you heard the term “respectable sins?” You know, the little white lie, cheating on a test, gossiping about your friend at church. The sins we don’t take too seriously because they are “small” or “insignificant.” Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Author Jen Oshman where they discuss the concept of respectable sins and the importance of recognizing and addressing them in our lives.
As artificial intelligence continues to develop, we continue to revisit the conversation to ensure we are one step ahead as believers. With Neurolink’s latest brain chip implanted in the first human, and Sweden’s micro chips becoming more and more popular, allowing people to purchase goods and unlock their car with their hands, how far is too far? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with founder of Apologetics Canada, Andy Steiger, where they unpack the latest in AI and how we as Christians should respond to the fast pace of technology.
There are so many different life stages that we can prepare for before we walk through them. It’s important to plan ahead as best as we can even though there are certain unknowns that go before us. In today’s program, host Andrew Marcus gets to spend time with longtime friends Cliff and Erin Ursel, pastors at Westside Church in Vancouver, and unpack all stages of life: singleness, dating, engagement, marriage and raising kids.
You don’t have to look far to see that many people are struggling as we head into 2024. With the cost of living constantly rising, the talk and rumours of war, the advancement of technology happening at an alarming rate, it is easy to get overwhelmed by what seems to be chaos!! Join INDOUBT’s host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Luke Friesen, Northview Church’s high school pastor, as they lean into finding hope in the midst of hardship.
Prayer is such a crucial part of a believer’s life. When we study the Word and hear testimonies from believers, it doesn’t take long to realize how foundational prayer ought to be in our lives. Often times prayer is a shopping list of all the things we want God to do for us. Is there a wrong way to pray? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with managing editor of The Gospel Coalition’s Megan Hill as they discuss the importance of prayer and walk through practical ways to stir up a hunger for more prayer in your life.
We’ve heard debates about whether it is biblical to have a large mega church or a small house church. Now more than ever we need to put our preferences aside and join together with doctrinally sound communities as one Church, cheering each other on rather than trying to compete for who’s the best or the biggest. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with his dear friend Brett Landry, pastor of Christ City Church, as they unpack what it looks like to reach your community for Christ.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to change and transform your life, and as believers we have the task of testifying the Good News! It has been our mission with INDOUBT to provide resources to equip you with the truths found in Scripture as you navigate life, faith and culture. Join Isaac Dagneau and Daniel Markin (former hosts of THE INDOUBT SHOW) as they recall on some transformative stories they’ve heard and experienced during their walk of faith! Explore the concept of finding freedom in Christ and the importance of proclaiming and living out the gospel in our everyday lives!
Over the past few years we’ve been hearing people talk about their own personal truths. If their truths differ from another’s, well that’s okay, because everyone is allowed to have their own truth right? But this begs the question: if that’s the case, then what actually is truth? Can everything be true? Do all paths lead to truth? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Apologetics Canada’s Alberta Director, Steve Kim, as they spend time in the studio together unpacking truth and how to navigate today’s cultural moment “where all truth is true.”
Sexuality, identity and relationships are some major topics of discussion amongst many young adults. It is a growing concern to see what the world is saying yes and amen to. How do we navigate these major issues and stand firm on God’s truth while being gracious and loving? THE INDOUBT SHOW had the privilege of linking arms with Bryan and Bonnie Pue from The Union Movement for their first UNION Conference! Join Andrew Marcus as he hosts the Q&A portion of the conference, asking Pastor Jim Anderson and Focus on the Family’s video production manager Jonathan Bryden tough questions on sexuality, identity and relationships!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s that time of year where we sit down, reflect on 2023 and start making some New Year’s resolutions for 2024! Let’s be honest with ourselves though. When is the last time you followed through on your resolutions? What does it look like to set Godly goals for yourself for 2024? How do we incorporate spiritual disciplines? How do we make plans for an uncertain future? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Pastor Brent Smith from Riverside Calvary Chapel as they unpack a biblical perspective on goal setting.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Today looks a bit different! We are all at home with our families, friends and loved ones this Christmas celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus! So with that being said, we don’t have a full episode today! We pray you take this holiday season to rest, dwell, observe and intentionally slow down to make room for Christ this Christmas! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends a few moments today unpacking some of his big takeaways leading up to Christmas morning this year!
The Advent calendar is more than just a chocolate countdown, but a beautiful opportunity to slowly reflect on the Christmas story. The Advent season is filled with such rich tradition that helps us remind ourselves the significance of the season. But what do the candles during Advent mean? Was Jesus really born in December? Join our friend and previous host Daniel Markin as he comes back for a special episode where he spends time with his dad, Johnny Markin, to explore the richness of this season!
Christmas is far greater than the cultural celebration that we’ve made it throughout the years. It is a time for us to pause, slow down and intentionally rest in the promises and hope we have in Christ. When we do this, we are blessed! When we don’t take the time to reflect on the theological reality of the season, we truly miss the Good News! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Jared C. Wilson as they unpack the beautiful truths of this season and how it can deeply impact your life.
Every Christmas, we seem to revisit the conversation of how the season has become over commercialized. We are bombarded with ads to buy the next thing as we’ve failed to focus our attention on Christ. Well here’s the reality: God wired us to be people who consume. And if that is the case, not all consumption is bad. But like anything, boundaries are important! Join host Andrew Marcus with his good friend Pastor Andy Frew from Crossridge Church as they unpack practical resources and a biblical perspective on how we can best lead our families this Christmas!
You have heard people say before, “I am not into theology, I just love Jesus.” There is often this battle within us as we journey with Christ to see which is more important between theology and experience. The head and the heart. But should they be at war against each other? Or do they work together? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time Scott Tolhurst, Director of Ministry Communications at Back to the Bible Canada, where they unpack how deepening our theology does, in fact, enhance our intimate relationship with the Lord.
The New Testament is flooded with the language that once we confess our sins and declare that Jesus is Lord, we are now “in Christ.” What does it actually mean to be in Christ? This is an earth shattering reality that will change your life forever if you truly understand and live out this truth! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with lead pastor (and former host of INDOUBT) Isaac Dagneau as they unpack this beautiful reality for us as believers that is sure to give you a new sense of hope and peace!
It is becoming increasingly popular to hear the word “bigot” in today’s culture, especially one who tries to live in a way that honours the Lord. The reality is, the more Christians stand on the truths of Scripture, the more we are going to look like we are coming against the ways of the world. How can Christians balance the need to address bigotry and misconceptions about Christianity while also maintaining a respectful and harmonious environment everywhere they go? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Kaitlin Febles from Chick Fil A to discuss how we can be salt and light in a world that accuses Christianity of being hateful and hurtful to those with opposing views.
We often hear people use the term “karma.” The idea that good things happen when you do good, and bad things happen to you in response to your negative actions. Karma is very closely connected to Buddhism, but in the western world, we view karma (and Buddhism for that matter) with different lenses than those devoted to the religion in other parts of the world. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with our ministry friend Steve Kim from Apologetics Canada as we unpack the history of Buddhism, their theology and how we as Christians can love them and point them to the truths found in Scripture.
There has been a long history between Roman Catholics and Protestants when it comes to theology and interpreting the Scriptures. There are similarities between both Roman Catholics and Protestants, but here’s the question: Are there differences? And if there are differences, are they major or minor ones? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author and professor Gregg R. Allison as they unpack the reality that although Roman Catholics and Protestants use the same terms, we may be using different dictionaries.
We have heard it said before that Mormonism is a denomination within the Christian faith. Is this truly the reality? If so, why are they on a mission to convert other Christians? In our new series “World Religions Unraveled”, we do a deep dive into the history of Mormonism and study their core beliefs. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author and lead pastor of Crossroads Church, Matthew Emadi, as they unpack Mormonism’s main theological points and compare them to those in the Christian faith.
Often times on our journeys, we get distracted by ditches that hinder us from living out a life of faith and obedience. Legalism and license are two of the easiest pitfalls that we are tempted to fall into as believers. What are these ditches and what can we do to avoid them? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Pastor Lee Francois from Crossridge church as they unpack not only the dangers of legalism and license, but also the beauty and liberty that we find in Christ!
The book of Proverbs is known to be filled with wisdom to help its readers engage with their culture, avoid pitfalls and traps from the enemy, and live in peace and godliness amongst one's community. Fun fact: Did you know that the book of Proverbs was mainly written for young people? If that is the case (which it is), then as a young adults' podcast, we want to take time to do a deep dive! Join host Andrew Marcus as he sits down with theologian, professor, and Bible teacher Ivan De Silva to walk through the book of Proverbs and see how it is incredibly relevant for today's culture.
Raising kids can be a terrifying thought for some of us. Nothing worthwhile in life comes easy! It’s okay to be scared! The reality is, children are a blessing from God and bring so much joy to our homes. That being said, they are a huge responsibility. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with our dear friend Phil Callaway from Laugh Again as they talk about what it’s like raising kids in today’s culture and how we can play a role in helping point them to Christ every day.
We’ve often heard it said that it is important to be evenly yoked. That Christians should marry other Christians - but why? Is this a recommendation from worried parents, or a biblical mandate that we should follow? What about dating a non believer? What about living with your significant other before marriage? Join host Andrew Marcus as he connects with pastor Matt Boga from Reality Church in Stockton California as they unpack what the Bible says and how we ought to navigate dating and marriage in the midst of what today’s culture declares acceptable.
It is very difficult to read through your Bible and not hold to the reality that God is meticulously sovereign over all things. When we truly grasp this truth, our lives are forever changed! We begin to see God in the big things as well as all the little details. Randomly bumping into someone at the mall ends up being clearly orchestrated by God and not random at all! Join host Andrew Marcus as we start season 2 of THE INDOUBT SHOW with Dr. John Neufeld from Back to the Bible Canada as we unpack God’s providence, what that means, and how this theology can transform our lives and provide us with incredible peace in all things!
Last week we walked through some of the incredible conversations we’ve had in season 1 and some of the skits we’ve enjoyed recording! Join host Andrew Marcus as he walks through part 2 of the BEST moments from season 1!
The post Ep. 32: BEST MOMENTS From Season 1 Pt 2 first appeared on INDOUBT.
Last week we talked about the importance of looking back and remembering God’s faithfulness. As we conclude season 1, we are doing just that! Join host Andrew Marcus as he takes us through part 1 of some of his favourite moments, conversations and funny skits from season 1!
A lot of people today assume old things are unnecessary. Outdated technologies become obsolete, but the same is not true for church history! Some Christians only read the “New” Testament and say the “Old” Testament is irrelevant to them. This is false for so many reasons! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author Simonetta Car and Emma and Lucas, a few of the hosts from the Kids Talk Church History Podcast, as they unpack the significance of looking back throughout church history. The reality is, the cultural moment we find ourselves in isn’t new, and so looking back to learn from our brothers and sisters in Christ who have gone before us can show us how to respond and give us warnings of things to avoid!
“Deconstruction” is another buzz word that is becoming more and more popular amongst Christians. The reality is, this is not a new concept, it has been happening for a long time. Once we grow up, start living on our own, getting married and start making our own decisions, we begin to question all we’ve already based our lives on from our upbringing. We begin to question it all. Join host Andrew Marcus as he sits down with church planter and pastor of Every Nation at the Surrey SFU campus Matt Johnson as they unpack deconstruction, its dangers and what our firm foundation must be throughout the whole process.
A.I. continues to take the world by storm. Chat GPT, the new platform THREADS and many other technologies continue to bring connectivity to our world and resources to help with our day to day lives. Are there any risks to diving into all these technologies? Are all A.I. tools good resources, or are some of them potentially harmful? What A.I. do we embrace and what A.I. should we avoid? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Jon Morrison, marketing consultant and owner of Get Clear as they unpack the risks and benefits of A.I. technology.
The post Ep. 29: WHAT FAITHFUL DECONSTRUCTION LOOKS LIKE w/ Matt Johnson first appeared on INDOUBT.
A.I. continues to take the world by storm. Chat GPT and other technologies continue to bring connectivity to our world and resources to help with our day to day lives. Are there any risks to diving into all these technologies? Are all A.I. tools good resources or are some of them potentially harmful? What A.I. do we embrace and what A.I. should we avoid? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Jon Morrison, author and owner/lead marketing consultant at Get Clear as they unpack the risks and benefits of A.I. technology.
Often times when we hear the word “persecution” we automatically think of places where Christians are being stoned, tortured, imprisoned and even put to death. Christians around the world rejoice in their suffering as they stand on God’s Word and they are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to faithfully spread the Gospel. What about in today’s culture? Are we going through degrees of persecution without even being aware? What does it look like for Christians today in North America? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author and founder of Apologetics Canada Andy Steiger as they discuss persecution today and how we can be equipped with the tools and resources to navigate all degrees of persecution with a biblical perspective.
Alright so it’s summer. The sun’s out and it’s hot! The temptation to wear “breathable” clothes to stay cool continues to be on the forefront of all of our minds - so there’s no better time than now to unpack biblical modesty! What does the Bible say about what we should and should not wear? What is biblical modesty? Head coverings? Can women wear pants? Join our host Andrew Marcus as he sits down with his wife Michelle Marcus to unpack what the Bible teaches us and how can we live it out in the midst of today’s culture!
Yoga is a discipline that many have incorporated into their routines, focusing on its physical benefits while overlooking its spiritual risks. As Christians, should we be so quick to push aside the spiritual risks? Is yoga something that can be safely practiced by Christian believers? The answer might surprise you! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Dr. Chris Berg to conclude our four-week series on Spiritual Things with the discussion of yoga, its roots, what it was originally designed to do and the danger of partaking in its practices.
The new age movement can sometimes look obvious, and sometimes it subtly creeps into our lives and church communities undetected. For years we’ve seen the presence of horoscopes, astrology, crystal balls and many other practices that are extremely harmful. Did you know that the enneagram also fits in this category? There are many similarities between astrology and the enneagram which has been a very subtle but powerful movement within the church. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with ex astrologer Marcia Montenegro to unpack all things new age including how the enneagram has made the list of practices to avoid.
Manifesting is becoming a more and more popular spiritual practice that many people are dabbling with these days. The reality is, it’s unbiblical. We can’t manifest our lives. What is manifesting? How is it infiltrating the church? Are there similarities between manifesting and the name it and claim it theology that we find in the prosperity movement? Join host Andrew Marcus as he continues our series on SPIRITUAL THINGS with special guest Jen Pollock Michel as they unpack manifesting and why it is dangerous to engage with its practices.
The post Ep. 23: YOU CAN’T MANIFEST YOUR LIFE w/ Jen Pollock Michel first appeared on INDOUBT.

Join host Andrew Marcus as he continues our series on SPIRITUAL THINGS with special guest Jen Pollock Michel as they unpack manifesting and why it is dangerous to engage with its practices.
The Enneagram is a movement that has taken the church by storm. It is becoming more and more popular as many Christian leaders are adopting its teaching and incorporating its theology from the pulpit. There are many Christian Enneagram books being published today with tips on how we can incorporate the enneagram with our marriages, church leadership and basically Christian living. The question is: are you aware of its origins? Do we really understand what we are dabbling with? Is it safe for believers to engage with it? Join host Andrew Marcus as he dives deep with Dr. Chris Berg to unpack the history of the enneagram and walk through some of the dangers when we incorporate it into our spiritual journeys.
We don’t have to look far to realize that Christians today are exiles in a hostile culture. What’s right is declared wrong and what’s wrong is not only good, but celebrated and encouraged. Every day, we see opportunities to compromise and put the truths of Scripture aside. Whether it is earthly wealth and health, temptations to give in to sin, our fears or our apathy. As believers we are called to obey God, and obeying God takes us down a different path. Rather than compromise, we are called to stand firm on the Word of God and to share that truth with those God places in our spheres of influence. Now more than ever we need to share the hope we have in Christ. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with award-winning apologist Ray Comfort as they unpack his latest book “So Many Lions, So Few Daniels - Living without Compromise in a World in Need of Truth” and gain insight and some practical tools to help us identify the lions you face and build a strategy for combatting them with confidence and boldness!
Toxic masculinity. These are buzz words in today’s culture. News articles with headlines that say, “Why Can’t We Hate Men?” And “Are Men Necessary?” And don’t forget the trending hashtag #killallmen. How did this happen? How on earth did we get here? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey as she unpacks her new book The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. This is a big topic in today’s culture and so it is critical for us as believers to understand the truths of Scripture when it comes to masculinity and the significant role a man plays in his family and community. Men are created in the image of God and have value and worth so we need to reconcile this truth in a culture that is preaching the exact opposite.
The Word of God is the most life-giving book ever written. It is living and active, filled with truth, insight, hope and wisdom on how we ought to live our lives in light of all that Christ has done for us. In John chapter 4, we see the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. There are so many elements to unpack in this story, and The Well, a women’s ministry based in Canada, is helping women of all ages dive deep into the story and unpack the truths found in it and how it applies to us today. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Malissa MacWilliams and Nicole Martens, co-founders of The Well, as they unpack how the ministry started and the importance of being in authentic, God-honouring community.
It is an unfortunate reality that the prosperity gospel is prospering. Many people in the pews fall in love with the message that tells them the more you give, the more you get. Prosperity preachers continue to take passages of Scripture out of context to tickle the ears of their listeners into thinking that they can be healthy and wealthy when they financially sow seeds of faith to their ministries. We’ve looked long and hard throughout the Bible, and we just can’t seem to find any evidence of this teaching. Join host Andrew Marcus with his pastor and dear friend Brent Smith as they talk through some of the false teaching that is out there and how to avoid it by giving us a strong foundation on what biblical generosity looks like in the life of a true believer.
The statistics are not pretty. Pornography continues to be a big problem and it seems like the ages of people struggling with porn addiction decreases as the percentage of users increase. There is hope! It’s not all doom and gloom. Join host Andrew Marcus as he connects with Shawn Bonneteau from Deep Clean, an incredible ministry that offers one on one coaching, group coaching and a wide variety of resources to help those addicted break FREE! Jump into their conversation as they unpack the reality that there is hope for freedom. Freedom exists. You may not think there’s a way out, but there is. Listen now to learn some practical ways to overcome addiction and live a life of true freedom in Christ.
Anxiety, depression, panic attacks… these are just some of the topics that have become common language shared among many young people today as they describe their current mental and emotional state. If you are wrestling with any of these, you are not alone! Mental health issues continue to rise and many counsellors are fully booked with no room for new patients. It’s a real problem that we need to address. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with registered Psychologist Dr. Rami Nader as they unpack mental health issues and practical tools we can use to help us deal with life’s every day challenges.
Have you ever felt a prompting on your heart to do something for God that seemed a bit outrageous? The reality is, the more we spend time in prayer and fellowship with God, the more we are able to distinguish His voice, and the more we hear Him, the more we are able to be used by Him for His glory. Being on mission starts with a heart hungry for God, His Word and a life of prayer. Join host Andrew Marcus on this very special Mother’s Day episode where he sits with his mom Margo Marcus to talk about her mother’s journey, the story of the obedience of a simple missionary named Mabel Dean, and how her obedience impacted their entire family!
In today’s world, loving your neighbour seems impossible since no one can actually afford a home. What does it mean to love our neighbours well? Does it go beyond the person next door? What does it look like to be hospitable and create a welcoming environment when we live in a tiny dorm room? Join host Andrew Marcus with Liberty University student Santiago Frank as they discuss the reality that loving our neighbours and being hospitable have nothing to do with owning a home or having a place to welcome people in, as they walk through his latest article on The Gospel Coalition called, “Young Adult, Embrace the Art of Neighbouring.”

Ok, so what is transhumanism? I mean every time we type it out we see the red squiggly lines underneath the word like we’ve made a typo. Well, transhumanism is a real thing, and its ideology is growing fast. Artificial Intelligence? ChatGPT? Brain chips? Gene modification? Are these things actually happening? This is not a science fiction book. It’s only a matter of time before those red squiggly lines will be removed from the term and it will be the new normal. But what is transhumanism? Is there a danger for believers to engage with it? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with Dr. Fazale Rana, a biochemist by trade and the CEO of Reasons to Believe as they unpack all things related to transhumanism!

Cancel Culture is all the rage these days. And we don’t use the term rage lightly. People have lost the sense of patience and grace with one another. It’s evident that if you say something against culture, you will immediately be excommunicated. The Bible talks about something similar as believers are called to avoid certain people. Join host Andrew Marcus as he connects with David Schuman, pastor at Exilic Church in Manhattan as they unpack the reality that 2023 will be a challenging year for believers, and how believers are called to stand firm on the truth and possibly avoid certain people in their circles!

If you haven’t heard of the food pyramid, google it. In essence, it is a diagram that helps identify the healthy foods we should be eating and the unhealthy foods that we should be eating in moderation. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Brett McCracken from The Gospel Coalition as they discuss his latest book The Wisdom Pyramid. No it’s not a pyramid scheme. Enjoy the interview as they discuss the dangers of the social media world and also some of it’s benefits as we try to tackle what a healthy spiritual diet looks like in today’s technologically advanced world where we are bombarded daily with too much information!

In today’s culture, many young people are terrified of commitment. Marriage is too overwhelming. And don’t even mention the idea of kids. Young married couples have many fears in the thought of having children. Aren’t they too expensive? What if we simply can’t afford it? What if I fail as a parent? The reality is, many of us have had challenging upbringings or genuine reasons to be concerned, but we believe God is bigger than your biggest fears. Join host Andrew Marcus with founders of The Union Movement Bryan and Bonnie Pue as they unpack all things marriage and children!

In the Western world, we celebrate Christmas far more than we celebrate Easter. Did you know that less than 5% of the Gospel accounts talk about the birth and 1/3 talks about Passion week? It seems like we’ve got it all backwards.

There has been a quote floating around for many years that says, “Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.” This quote has been shared by many Christians with good intentions, but there are some problems with it. The main problem is this: it’s just not biblical. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with author and pastor Matt Smethurst as they discuss 5 tools to help you become evangelism ready and how it is absolutely crucial to use words! Tune in and learn how we can better prepare ourselves to share our faith boldly and confidently!

A big debate about the Bible is that it is just a story. That it is basically writings that only contain symbolism or allegorical writings. Were Adam and Eve real people? Or are they just a symbol of humanity? What about Noah and the ark? Did Jonah really live in the belly of a fish for three days before God made the fish puke him out? Don’t even get started on the book of Revelation!! Join Andrew Marcus with pastor Brent Smith from Riverside Calvary Chapel as they unpack how the Scriptures can be trusted as absolute truth.

Influential? Who? Me? Yes! Gen Z’s are on a mission for mentors and answers to life’s big questions. Guess who they are more likely going to turn to for it? YOU! No matter how old you are there is always someone younger that you can connect with on a deeper level. For their sake and yours! If you are a young adult, whether you like it or not, they are looking to you for wisdom, encouragement and someone to journey through life with. So to sum it all up: if you are a young adult, you are an influencer.
Have you heard of the hit series THE CHOSEN? Maybe you are one of the millions of people who have engaged with it. Maybe not. Either way, we dive into the show with the co-creator Amanda Jenkins to talk about how it was birthed from a really challenging season, how God used their brokenness to reveal His grace on their lives, and how it’s impacting viewers around the world. But is it biblically accurate? Is it something that substitutes our daily Bible reading? We dive in to all that and more!
Many people have become too comfortable with their new reality of church: alone in the comfort of their own home, wearing their PJ’s with a stack of pancakes and a fresh coffee. The question is: is that actually church? Join our host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with Kamloops Alliance Church’s lead pastor Chris Throness as they unpack what biblical community ought to look like. Spoiler alert: neither online church nor the heavy emphasis on our Sunday morning experience might be the right answer.
Happy 11th birthday to INDOUBT! Although THE INDOUBT SHOW is new, we’ve had an incredible history of resourcing young people over the past 11 years. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with the founder of INDOUBT Mike Cumiskey, as well as other hosts in the past including Isaac Dagneau, Ryan McCurdy and Daniel Markin as they talk about what’s new in their lives, their passion for INDOUBT, and how important it is for us to be grounded on truth!
If you haven’t been aware of this reality, it might be shocking. People are leaving the Church and their faith altogether at an alarming rate. Why is it happening and what can we do to not be a part of the statistic? It’s been said that, “what you win them with is what you win them to.” Dr. John Neufeld from Back to the Bible Canada joins host Andrew Marcus to talk about the greatest reset that needs to take place in the Church. Now more than ever, we need to be grounded on absolute truth found only in the Word of God.
Join Isaac and pastor, author, and podcaster Tim Elmore as they sit down and talk about doubt. Often, we see doubt, especially in regard to faith, as a bad thing. But Tim and Isaac discuss why doubt isn’t always bad, and can actually be a healthy thing! When we go through periods of doubt in our faith in God, is that just highlighting our lack of faith? This is a great conversation that is beneficial to any follower of Christ- whether you’ve been a Christian for 50 years or 5 days- doubt always seems to creep into our lives- so how do we manage it?
Why is it that so many people today get offended easily, even going out of their way to find something to be offended about? At times, it feels like you can’t share even the mildest opinion for fear that someone around you will get upset. This week, Isaac is going to be speaking with pastor and author Scott Sauls about just that, the prevalence of outrage culture in our society today. Whether it was a tweet or Facebook post from 10 seconds or 10 years ago, we as a society seem to take pleasure in tearing down anyone who says anything we disagree with, even if that means taking things out of context. Is that how we as Christians are called to respond? Is that what love looks like? We’re so happy you’re here to listen as Isaac and Scott talk about a biblical response to this issue, as well as why gentleness may be the ultimate secret weapon to combating a cancel culture in today’s society.
Singleness is a calling. Singleness is a gift. But how often do we actually think of it like that and not the opposite? Jon Tyson joins us this week on indoubt to break down the stigma surrounding singleness in today’s culture. Looking at the different examples of singleness and marriage in our culture, in our churches, and in our own lives, Jon and Daniel talk through some of the ideas surrounding our relationship statuses and discuss how we can embrace our season of singleness, or the single people around us. Jon offers a healthy, biblical perspective on your season of singleness, and how to maximize God’s calling on your life during this time of your life!
Canada’s political culture seems to be changing. Where it was once a place where all could freely express their faith, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to do so. What has changed about Canada’s political culture that is making it difficult for people of faith? This week we are joined by Bruce Clemenger, author and president of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, to walk us through his new book, The New Orthodoxy: Canada’s Emerging Civil Religion. Bruce gives us a brief overview of the history of Canada’s statecraft, and also expands upon the biases in our current government that result in challenges for religious people. Bruce closes out the conversation with an inspiring message in how we can remain hopeful amid a secular state.
It’s not just unbelievers and agnostics who have questions about Christianity. Even those of us who have been believers for years may find ourselves pondering and reflecting on the core elements of Christianity. This week we’re joined by a guest who is no stranger to the podcast, Andy Steiger, President and Founder of Apologetics Canada, to walk us through an open forum he recently held entitled Questioning Christianity. Andy dives beneath the surface to unpack 5 big questions surrounding key topics of Christianity, and brings them to a new light that will leave your faith refreshed and restored.

For most of us, the Christmas season brings about stress, comparison, and, generally, a lack of time and/or money. But is that how we should be approaching it? Should we really be experiencing Christmas this way? On this week’s episode of indoubt, Alexandra Kuykendall joins us to discuss what it means to love Christmas in the context of our actual lives. So often we immediately expect to be stressed out during the holidays because that what we’ve learned to expect. But Isaac and Alexandra encourage us to step outside of our expectations and learn to love our Christmas season, no matter what moment of life we’re in.
Have you ever wondered why young adults are leaving the church in record numbers? On this episode of indoubt, join our host Isaac as he talks with researcher Rick Hiemstra to discuss this reality, and what we can do to prevent it. With so many young people abandoning their faith, it’s important to understand why it’s happening, and how to combat it, since, if we’re not careful, we will soon be in a world where Christianity is no longer relatable to a younger generation, and generations after us will miss out on hearing and experiencing the truth of Jesus in their lives.
The Bible is one of the most famous books in history. It has been translated into nearly every language in the world, placed in most countries, and most people have some understanding of what is written inside. But with the long history and widespread popularity of the Bible, we need to ask the question: can we actually trust the Bible? Join this week’s guest Wesley Huff as he breaks down what the Bible is, why we can trust it, and how unchanged it has remained since its creation thousands of years ago!

We have all struggled in the battle with sexual sin. We may find ourselves stuck in a vicious cycle between self-righteousness when we are managing our temptations well, and then shame when we are not. But how can we escape the grip of sexual sin? This week we are joined by Garrett Kell, pastor and author, to discuss his book Pure in Heart: Sexual Sin and the Promises of God.Garrett reminds us that sexual purity begins in the heart, when we orient our focus on seeking Jesus and desire to be like Him. He also encourages anyone who is struggling with temptations to lean into the grace of God, and emphasizes that there is liberation from the shame of our impure desires when we shift our hearts and minds from a worldly focus to a heavenly focus.
Is it more important to be politically correct or to be biblically correct? As Christians, our answer should be simple/automatic but, in a culture that’s easily swayed, offended, or outraged, oftentimes, we get stuck too. On this week’s episode of indoubt, Mark Sayers joins Daniel to discuss what’s going on in our cultural moment. How do we balance what’s relevant with our faith and still remain faithful? What can we do to make a difference? Is there still hope for the future of Christianity, young adults and the local church? You’ll hear all those questions and more talked through on this episode.
Yes, our lives are sacred. Yes, we should do our absolute best to preserve our life on earth. But what happens when medical technologies, or medicine, are simply prolonging death instead of preserving life? On this week’s episode of indoubt, we’re joined by author and trauma surgeon, Kathryn Butler, who shares her unique perspective on end-of-life medical care. Isaac and Kathryn discuss how easy it is to blur the lines between life and death with today’s technological advancements and the effects that has on each one of us. Talking through questions like: What is too much suffering? How does someone make a life-ending decision for their loved one? And, how do we balance the sovereignty of God with medicine?
It's easy for us living in North America to take for granted what a privilege it is to have the freedom to read our Bibles, attend church services, and practice our Christian beliefs. However, there are millions of Christians around the world who don’t have those rights, and even live under the constant threat of persecution. This week we are joined by Gary Stagg, Executive Director of Open Doors Canada. He walks us through the extent and severity of persecution that many Christians in other nations are facing, as well as the various ways in which Open Doors responds to those in need. Gary also encourages us with some ideas of how we too can help our Christian brothers and sisters living under these oppressive conditions.
Decoding the symbolism and imagery that make up the book of Revelation is challenging. What does it all mean? What is God telling us in this book? This week we are joined by Nancy Guthrie, author and Bible teacher, to discuss her book Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation.Nancy walks us through some of the common mistakes we tend to make when reading scripture, and the importance of understanding the Bible as a complete story. She also unveils the message we are to take away from the book of Revelation and emphasizes its importance and relevance to young adults today.
In the midst of ordinary people, places, sights, and sounds, how do you worship? Can we still worship in the everyday moments of life? On this week’s episode of indoubt, Ruth Chou Simons joins us to discuss the art of everyday worship. It’s so easy for us to take for granted the things that we see around us each day, but Ruth and Daniel encourage us to linger longer on the beauty that surrounds us. Whether you’re cooking, decorating your home, working, or creating, you can use those things to ultimately glorify God. The question is how will we direct our eyes, hearts, minds, and hands in the everyday?
Powered by RedCircle The social consequences of being a Christian have never been easy. We often face exclusion, mockery and rejection for our beliefs and countercultural worldview.

We have all experienced pain, trauma, and difficulties at some point in our lives. It is not always easy to leave these struggles behind in the past. How can we escape the bitter grip of a painful past? This week we are joined by Chris Brown, author, pastor, and speaker, to discuss his latest book Restored, where he walks readers through his own journey of moving through the trauma of a rocky childhood. Chris also reveals an important lesson on being stewards of our past, and how we can take the reins on our pain and use it to bring glory to God.
We’ve all had those moments when our Bible reading feels more like a chore rather than an opportunity to deepen our relationship with the Lord. This week Matt Smethurst, former lead editor of TGC and now lead pastor at River City Baptist Church in Virginia, joins us to discuss his book “Before You Open Your Bible: 9 heart postures for approaching God’s Word”. In this discussion of these 9 heart postures, we are reminded of just how privileged we are to have access to His word, and Matt gives us insight that helps us approach our Bible humbly and graciously.
Many of us have that one, go-to Bible verse we reflect on during hard times. But what about having a number of go-to verses for the different seasons we endure in life? This week Lee Brubacher, worship director at WestHighland Church and author of the article “Entering my Multiverse” joins us to talk about the multiple verses he has relied on for the different periods of difficulty in his life. In this discussion, we are reminded of the comfort and encouragement we receive when we seek counsel in God’s word.
In an increasingly secular society, it is not uncommon for the topic of faith as it pertains to Jesus to raise eyebrows. Why would anyone follow Jesus? This week we are joined by guest Ray Comfort to discuss just that as he walks us through his latest book entitled “Why Would Anyone Follow Jesus?”. Ray is the founder and CEO of Living Waters, and author of many books. He enlightens us to the core reasons why individuals doubt Jesus and His Word. He also equips us with powerful tools for evangelism and closes with insight on how to stay grounded in our faith when facing the inevitable challenges of this world.
The last two years amid the covid-19 pandemic have certainly left a huge impact on us all. But what does this impact look like for young adults? Vinh Doan, young adult pastor at Northview Church, joins us this week to discuss the long-term difficulties young adults are facing as we begin to move out of a two-year long pandemic. Issues of depression, anxiety, insecurity, and uncertainty are all discussed, and Vinh closes with a message of hope to inspire and encourage those who may be navigating these struggles.
The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is undoubtedly the most significant event in history for Christians. It is through faith that we believe in Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins and accept him as our Saviour. But did you know there also exists compelling objective evidence for the resurrection? This week, with Daniel Markin as our host, we are joined by George Sinclair, Rector of Church of the Messiah in Ottawa and Principal of Ryle Seminary, to discuss his article “10 Concise Pieces of Evidence for the Resurrection”. In their conversation they touch on the significance of the four eyewitness accounts, the empty grave, and more that will certainly leave you with a sense of strengthened faith.
We are all deeply troubled by the crisis currently taking place in Ukraine. As young adults, it can be difficult to know how to help, especially if we are unable to provide significant financial support. This week, our guest Jason Krul, international director of Hungry for Life, describes the humanitarian efforts made by this organization to provide both spiritual and physical relief for nations in need. In this discussion, Jason zeros in on what they are doing to help Ukraine specifically, how they establish a position in a foreign country to provide help, and also lists a number of ways young adults can contribute to the cause.
Isn’t it a little weird to think that the oldest Millennials are now approaching their forties? It’s true. The youngest generation is no longer the Millennials, but Gen-Z. Gen-Zers are born roughly between 1999 and 2015. Are they like Millennials? In some ways, yes. But in other ways, no. With us this week to help us know more about Gen-Zers, how they differ from Millennials, and how Millennials can best engage Gen-Zers with the gospel, is author and speaker Jonathan Morrow.
“Stories are the language God wired our hearts to speak.” Singer-songwriter and author Andrew Peterson joins us this week to talk about art and why Christians who don’t consider themselves artists, need artists. Whether or not you think of yourself as someone who is creative (which you are), you’ll benefit from this important conversation.
How’s faith in Canada? Some studies have come out in the past few years that look into some specifics when it comes to the general attitudes and beliefs in Canada. It’s a privilege to have Executive Director of The Gospel Coalition Canada, Wyatt Graham, with us this week to discuss some of those findings and how the church can best respond. For example, why are we seeing young people more interested in Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy today? Why are liberal/progressive churches shrinking? Join us for this week’s conversation.
How can we effectively evangelize Gen-Z? How can we equip the younger generations to spread the gospel? This week we are joined by Shaila Visser, National Director of Alpha Canada, to help us better understand how to approach evangelism with Gen-Z. She also walks us through some of the generational differences between millennials and Gen-Z, and discusses the importance of planting seeds whose fruit may not be seen for many years to come.
The word “worship” usually brings up ideas of religion and gods. But the reality is, all of us, no matter who or what we believe, worship – every day. We look to ourselves, others, objects, and many other things as worthy of our time, devotion, money, and honour. In fact, we were made to worship – our hearts are wired that way. This week we chat with worship leader and author Bob Kauflin. He defines Christian worship, helps us cultivate a worshipful heart, and answers our question, “If we don’t agree with a song theologically on a Sunday service, should we still sing it?”
How can we live a life devoted to Christ amid an increasingly political society? Special guest Bruce Clemenger, president of Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, joins us today to help navigate how we can maintain unity in Christ as clashes between politics and faith arise. Bruce also dissects the intricate relationships between the Church, the state, faith, and politics, and discusses how we can approach issues of freedom, vaccinations, restrictions, choice, and conscience from a biblical perspective
What does it really mean to be human? Society has reduced what it truly means to be alive down to simply “not dying”. Today we are joined again by special guest Andy Steiger, president of Apologetics Canada, to walk us through the key differences between living and flourishing. He also dives into how this topic relates to many of the current cultural and societal issues surrounding individualism, freedom, and pandemic-related fear. Tune in to discover Andy’s biblically inspired, thought-provoking ideas that aim to challenge how we rank our life priorities.
Many Christians claim that Christianity is exclusive – and we believe that to be the truth. But what exactly does that mean? Are there different aspects to it? With us to walk through the exclusivity of Christianity is Derek Rishmawy. Not only do we talk with Derek about the basic understanding of this truth, but why it can be hard to swallow.
Pastor and author Kyle Idleman joins us this week to discuss his newest book One At A Time. He challenges us as Christians to see those around us in the same way that Jesus would, with care and compassion. He also calls us to always be on the lookout for that one person with whom we can connect and show the love of Jesus to.
What do Jen Hatmaker, Brian McLaren, Rob Bell, Bart Ehrman, and many others have in common? They’ve, in some form or another, deconverted from their once “evangelical” Christian faith. We know this because they’ve publicly made it known. Now, they probably wouldn’t call it a “deconversion” story, but nevertheless, they’ve taken to the blog-podcast-video-internet world to make their stories known. Now, it’s in their stories that we find a kind of outline – a few points that they seem to hit on. We have with us this week author and professor Dr. Michael Kruger to help us see the plot line of the deconversion story. He also helps us see the general beliefs of liberal theology, and provides an encouragement and call for people to stand on the only solid truth-foundation – the Bible.
What’s the Bible in one sentence? It can be easy to view the Bible as a variety of writings that are put together without a pattern or purpose. But, this is not the case at all. The Bible, we find, tells one unifying story with one purpose. This week we look at what this story is, how it can be summed up in one sentence, and how we can shape our lives around it. We’re thankful to have pastor Jonathan Neufeld with us to walk us through the Bible’s story.
Many of the letters written to the early church are split into two parts: the theology and then how that theology looks like in real life. Christian ethics seeks to answer the question, “What does all of the Bible say about how to engage ____ in real life?” With us, this week is world-renowned theologian Wayne Grudem who’s just written a brand new book that gives an introduction (quite a large one) to biblical moral reasoning. Many of us have instinctual feelings that some things are wrong and some are right, but Wayne helps clarify why those things are right or wrong. In our conversation, he talks about his new book, lying/telling the truth, marijuana, and more.
What is a Christian theology of speech? God has given us the ability to speak. And if we are anything like our God (and Genesis 1:26-27 says we are), then our words have power. Not power like God’s words have, but a powerful influence – either for good or bad. Joining us is Vancouver-based pastor Brett Landry, who helps us understand a general theology of Christian speech and how to confront friends when you know what your group is saying isn’t life-giving. Brett also helps us consider the topic of swearing as Christians.
Are you living in a ‘stupid normal’? Here’s the long and the short of it: we, as human beings, are created for God. Because of this, we long for significance and joy. However, today’s culture has removed “God” from their thinking, resulting in a ‘stupid normal’ lifestyle that doesn’t acknowledge God at all. The irony is, we’re only going to find our significance and joy when we find it in God through Christ. Jonathan Parnell, author of Never Settle for Normal: the Proven Path to Significance and Happiness, joins us this week to help us get from ‘stupid normal’ to living in the satisfied life of the Gospel.
Phil Callaway is a prolific author, speaker, and radio host of Laugh Again. Phil has a gift for storytelling and helping people rediscover the hope and joy that can be found in a daily walk with Jesus. Join Phil and indoubt host Daniel as they discuss the need for hope in challenging days, particularly as we enter the Christmas season.
It’s the week before Christmas, and people may be thinking What’s Christmas all about anyway? To help answer this on a very logical level is popular Christian apologist Sean McDowell. Sean helps show us how we can believe in the historical Jesus – that He really lived, died, and rose again. He also encourages us to remember to evangelize during this season.
When you read the Christmas story in your Bible, what are you reading? So often we’ll say Luke or Matthew – and that’s not wrong! But there’s a bigger picture to the whole of it. And on this week’s episode of indoubt, we’re joined by Ross Breitkreuz to discuss just that – the entire Christmas story, beginning with Adam and Eve. Daniel and Ross challenge each of us to understand that Christmas doesn’t just start in the New Testament and with the birth of Jesus. And, you’ll hear both Daniel and Ross as they encourage us to take time over this holiday season to look at the full, seamless story of the gospel and God’s overwhelming love for us.
This week Dr. Marina Hofman joins Daniel to provide great insights into the life and calling of Mary. They also examine Mary’s response and consider how we all need to respond when God calls us for his purpose.
Why is it important today that the whole Bible, including the Old Testament, speaks to the death and resurrection of Jesus? Why does it matter? Why put in the effort to see Christ in the Old Testament? With us this week is hip-hop artist and author Timothy Brindle, who’s spent years studying this. And since he’s an artist, he decided to not just write a book about his findings, but to write a correlating album with it. The Unfolding speaks to the unfolding plan of God seen in the Bible. In addition to this, Timothy helps explain and apply the often-confused Jeremiah 29:11.
One of the most important yet forgotten issues that we know in our Christian life is this: friendship. It’s almost as if we think it’s so easy that we don’t really talk about it or emphasize it when we preach the Word. The reality is, friendship is crucial. In fact, it’s the only relationship that continues when we get to heaven. To help us understand what biblical friendship is (not just superficial relationships), we chat with pastor and counsellor at Parkside Church in Ohio, Jonathan Holmes. Our conversation hones in on how we’re relational beings, what biblical friendship is, and how to grow in friendships that glorify God.
On this episode of Indoubt, Daniel speaks with Daryl Dash. Daryl is the author of How to Grow: Applying the Gospel to All of Life. He is also a pastor. Daryl speaks about relevance in relation to church and culture. How do we remain relevant within our culture? The goal is to bring the gospel to people without conformity while remaining relevant.
On this episode of Indoubt, Daniel speaks with Greg Stier. Greg manages the Dare 2 Share Christian ministry - Helping Youth Leaders to empower students in sharing the gospel. Greg speaks about his new book “Unlikely Fighter”. The first 21 chapters of the 22 chapter book speaks of the challenges he faced before turning 16. Raised without a father in the inner city and within a violent family. He speaks of finding his identity in Christ.

Our world needs rest. This is something that’s becoming more and more obvious these days as our culture squeezes as much as it can out of as little as possible – all the time. People’s spirits/souls are running on empty, our environment is barely alive, and we just keep going. Enter A.J. Swoboda, a pastor from Portland, Oregon. A.J. sees this reality and decides to voice his concern and a solution. What is that solution? It’s found in the Bible, and it’s called Sabbath rest. This week we’re joined by A.J. as he talks about his new book, Subversive Sabbath, and what it means to rest.
Jake Lowell guest hosts again this week with special guest Chip Ingram. Chip, a longtime pastor and prolific author, wrote a book so relevant for our time. The book is called "I Choose Peace", and it speaks directly into the anxiety, conflict, and fear for the future that so many of us are experiencing. So many pressures are stealing away our contentment, our joy, and ultimately our peace. How do we rediscover peace in a world of chaos? Jesus promises peace.
