Sometimes Christians think the answer to all the chaos in the world is ensuring that more and more believers take significant roles within government and become political leaders. If only Christians were in power, we wouldn’t find ourselves in such a mess. But is that necessarily true? This idea of Christian nationalism has been believed to be the answer. The reality is, at its core, Christian nationalism is idolatry. How do we navigate this if we live in a Christian nationalist country? Check out this week’s episode with host Andrew Marcus and guest Drew Strait as they dive into this very important conversation. 

There are many people who have walked away from their Christian faith. One quick glance through some ex-Christian reddit threads, we’ve been able to pinpoint some of the major issues and concerns that have caused this reality for people all around the world. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Apologetics Canada founder Andy Steiger and Creative director Troy Lydiate where they unpack these questions about God, how there is a counterfeit gospel being preached, and how important it is for us to be rooted in God’s Word when it comes to seeking answers to life’s biggest questions. 

We hear the terms “holy”, “holiness” and going through the process of “sanctification”, but what do they mean, and what does it actually look like in the day-to-day? How can we be believers who practice repentance and confession and truly live a life consecrated unto the LORD? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with lead pastor of Central Heights Church David Morelli where they discuss such an important conversation that we need to truly take seriously in today’s world.

Enjoy this week’s episode as Troy chats with host Andrew Marcus where they discuss the counter-culture conversation and what it looks like to be in the world but not of it. 

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with how much information is beamed on your devices? How do we discern what’s actually truth? In a world filled with false teachers, those who claim to be prophets and modern-day apostles, we need to be equipped to discern truth. Our ministry friend Dr. John Neufeld from Back to the Bible Canada has a brand new book that we cannot wait to discuss! Who Speaks for God? helps readers understand how to ultimately discern truth by taking us straight to the source: God’s Word. It unpacks spiritual gifts, healings, tongues and ultimately how to discern truth in our noisy world. 

How do we lovingly journey with those who have trauma from sexual abuse? How do we respond when someone tells us that they are born gay? How do we biblically love those in the LGBTQ+ community? Marriage is a high calling, but what about singleness? What are healthy boundaries for dating? This week host Andrew Marcus joins the Union Movement for their conference to unpack many questions about sexuality, identity and relationships to help us navigate conversations with people who are open and closed-minded and how our tone and language matter. 

Anxiety and depression continue to rise in young people at an alarming rate. What is the Christian response to this epidemic?

Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Pastor Jeff Bucknam from Harvest Bible Chapel where they share their personal stories and unpack the complexities of mental health with a biblical perspective. 

There are lots of Christmas celebrations scheduled in the next few days, and for good reason! Jesus Christ was born, and that is perfect cause to celebrate! The question is, was He actually born on December 25th? Are the origins of our Christmas celebrations and traditions pagan or biblical? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Wesley Huff from Apologetics Canada to unpack the historical truths of Christmas and what it looks like to celebrate Christ’s birth in today’s culture. 

Indoctrination is defined as “teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs UNCRITICALLY.” Culture refers to this methodology as “BRAINWASHING.” Is this how we want to win children to Christ? This week host Andrew Marcus sits down with Maralee Dawn as she discusses how to AVOID spiritual manipulation with your children through proper discipling techniques, AND encouraging critical thinking. Buckle up! This episode is quite the ride! 😅

Addiction continues to trap many young people in what feels like a hopeless dead end. Join host Andrew Marcus as he dives into the transformative journey of recovery from addiction with guest Jason Roberts from Wagner Hills. We explore the power of community in the healing process as Jason shares stories of hope and resilience from those who have walked this path. Wagner Hills, a dedicated recovery community, offers a space for individuals to rebuild their lives and find purpose beyond addiction.

What does righteous judgement look like? Who are we called to judge? Join us in conversation with host Andrew Marcus and guest Matt Smethurst as we walk through passages like Matthew 7:1, John 7:24, 1 Corinthians 5:12, and 1 Corinthians 6 to learn how to show grace and humility in our judgements amidst church feuds and false teachers.

Do spiritual gifts still exist today? Gifts like tongues or healing? What’s the difference between spiritual gifts and natural talents and abilities? Understanding these things is an important part of the Christian walk. If we don’t know how God has wired us and the talents and gifts He’s given, how are we to live them out? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with pastor Fredy Orozco and pastor Luke Friesen for THE INDOUBT SHOW LIVE at Northview Church in Abbotsford where they unpack what the Bible says about gifts and talents. 

Often times we hear people say that the Bible is filled with contradictions, or that there is not enough evidence to confirm any credibility for the Gospel writings. Other people ask, “what about all the other books that did not make it into the Bible, like the Gospel of Thomas? Or what about all the different translations? How do we determine which one is an accurate copy of the earliest manuscripts?” Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time Wes Huff from Apologetics Canada to discuss all kinds of evidence that is sure to encourage you in your faith

Many people claim that the law of attraction is a way of life that works. That you can manifest positive things in your life by attracting them to yourself. This spiritual practice has leaked into the church community, in particular the prosperity movement. But what do you tell someone who believes in this teaching and feels it has worked for them? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author and influencer Jon Clash where they unpack his latest book on the Law of Attraction and his testimony of being immersed in its lies. 

Many people wrestle with doubts. What is doubt? The Oxford Dictionary defines doubt as a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction. If a Christian were to experience a season of doubt around their faith, does that make them a bad Christian? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with local youth pastor Payton Koop where they discuss the root of doubt, and how to navigate it in a way that honours God. 

The demonic world is often times misunderstood, causing unnecessary fear. Demons do exist, but are not always responsible for everything negative that happens in your life. This week we dive into part 2 of our conversation with host Andrew Marcus and Dr. Chris Berg as they unpack casting out demons, possession, oppression, God’s sovereignty in it all and our responsibility as believers. 

Sometimes we give credit to Satan and the demonic world more than they deserve. It is important to discuss angels and demons to be aware of how they operate. So what are demons? What do they do in today’s world? What are their responsibilities for the hardships we endure? What does the Bible say about the demonic world? Join host Andrew Marcus as he discusses the theology of demons with Dr. Chris Berg for our Spiritual Things series! We must always have the perspective through the lens of God’s power and the power and presence of The Holy Spirit. This is an important conversation for discerning between truth and lies when it comes to the spiritual world! 

What are angels? What do they do today? When people claim to have heard from an angel, how do we know if it’s real? Modern Christians often fall into two traps: disregarding the spiritual realm, or too easily believing claims about encounters with spiritual beings. Angels are real, made by God for a purpose, but we have to be on guard because the devil masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). 

Join host Andrew Marcus as we discuss more Spiritual Things with Dr. Chris Berg! This time, we’re breaking down what angels DO and DON’T do according to the Bible, and why God operates this way at all. This is a crucial conversation for discerning between truth and lies about the role of angels in our world and in the Church, so that we can hold fast to Scripture!

In today’s culture, it is getting harder and harder for Christians to navigate healthy discipleship when it comes to the topics of sexuality, identity and our desires. How should the Church graciously stand on truth while loving the people God has placed in our midst? Tune in this week as Andrew Marcus spends time in studio with Bryan Pue from the Union Movement to talk through some of these issues and how Jesus gives great tools for us as believers today!

The Church today struggles to navigate culture, practices, and personal faith! So where should followers of Christ land today on certain subjects? Today’s episode features Alisa Childers, who will walk through what it looks like to discern common hang-ups that Christians are experiencing. Alisa Childers points back to scripture to reveal a Godly-centred structure to abide by when Christianity seems to be transforming all around us.

What does it look like to Sabbath well? In today’s fast-paced world, it is crucial that we understand what it means to truly rest. Join our guest host Isaac Dagneau as he spends time with Brent Smith from Riverside Calvary Chapel where they do a deep dive on the history of Sabbath throughout Scripture and what true rest looks like in today’s busy world.

If you find yourself in the health section of Indigo or Barnes and Nobles, you are bound to find books written by healthcare professionals on fasting.

Besides the physical health benefits, fasting is an important practice for Christians that brings nourishment and health to your soul. Join guest host Isaac Dagneau as he spends time with Christian Life Assembly’s young adult pastor Matt Bender where they unpack the significance and importance of fasting in the life of a believer.

Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey as she unpacks her 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.

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!

Context is everything. There are so many believers who naively take individual verses from Scripture and try to make it frame their theology. The reality is, we can make all sorts of passages mean all sorts of things depending on what we want to hear. Join host Andrew Marcus as he sits down with ministry friend Dr. John Neufeld from Back to the Bible Canada where they unpack the dangers of taking passages out of context, how to avoid it, and go through some of the most commonly misinterpreted Scriptures amongst Christians. 

One of the most dangerous things we see in today’s culture is forgetfulness. A major event takes place, and it only takes a few days to forget and move on to the latest news. The same thing happens when it comes to our spiritual journeys. It is crucial for us as believers to remember. We must fix our eyes on all that God has done through His Word, and throughout church history with those who have gone before us. When we remember God’s character, we are filled with peace, hope, and a confidence in who God is and His goodness towards us. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with his dear friend Jack Mooring (founding member of LEELAND band, pastor, author, worship leader, songwriter) where they unpack the importance of remembering! 

We are living in an interesting time to say the very least. We see preachers that are politically motivated delivering messages that are geared more towards social justices and culture rather than unpacking biblical truths. As we gear up for election season in America and all that is happening within Canada, we need to make sure we are rooted in God’s Word. How should Christians engage in politics? How far is too far? What if the government is coming against our views and beliefs? How do we respond and engage with that? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Senior Ambassador and President Emeritus of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada Bruce J. Clemenger where they unpack all things related to Christianity and politics! 

Join us this week on THE INDOUBT SHOW as we dive into the great christianity and culture debate recorded live from Manitoba, Winkler!

Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Back to the Bible Canada’s Bible teacher Dr. John Neufeld where they tackle these important questions.

Many people become hopeless when they are in the midst of an addiction. It feels like there is no way out, and that it’s not even worth trying to fight it. The stats don’t help. It is said that 100,000 people have died of drug overdoses last year in America. Addiction of all kinds are leaving people stuck in bondage with no sense of hope. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Student and Young Adults pastor of Village Church, Colin Lancelot, where they do a deep dive into the topic of addiction. You’ll be blessed to hear of God’s amazing grace in Colin’s life stepping away from a life of addiction, getting saved and now serving in full-time ministry! 

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 amazing, and doing amazing things! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with his uncle where they unpack all the exciting ministry that is happening in the Middle East! 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.

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.

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 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!

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.
