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 Outdated technologies become obsolete, but the same is not true for church history!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.

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 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.
