Do theists have any good arguments at all? Not according to Richard Dawkins. He was recently interviewed by Alex O’Connor, aka the Cosmic Skeptic. When asked what good arguments he had encountered, Dawkins replied that theists (including Christians) have no good arguments. Zero. Zilch. Zip. If that seems like a pretty bold statement, you are not alone. Andy, Steve, and Wes came together this week to offer their reactions to both O’Connor and Dawkins, and to hash out some of the implications of such an extreme statement.

For the last podcast of the year, we figured what better way to end 2023 than to close it out with a podcast reflecting on the miraculous incarnation of Christ! While Christmas may be over, the significance is still worth the conversation and undoubtedly more. Troy and Steve continued their conversation with our friend, Dr. Raphael Samuel, to delve into Part Two of the year-end podcast, "The Miracle of Christ." 

Christmas is just around the corner. ’Tis the time of the year when we take the time to reflect on God coming in the flesh. Our thinking often starts with the typical nativity scene, with Baby Jesus already lying in the manger in swaddling clothes. We rarely think about the pregnancy and the actual birthing process. Since we believe that Jesus is truly human as well as truly God, reflecting on the miracle of the human birth will help us appreciate the miracle of the divine birth. Troy and Steve sat down with our friend, Dr. Raphael Samuel, to delve into Part One of a two-part series titled "The Miracle of Birth.

Is the God of the Bible a cosmic Grinch? What do we do with verses in both the New and Old Testaments that describe God "hardening people's hearts?" Wes and Andy sat down to talk about the character of God as it relates to God's goodness and how, why, and when he might harden someone's heart.

With the rise of social media, we are witnessing the rise of a new kind of celebrity: influencers. From testing cosmetics to advocating for political causes, influencers of all kinds impact the lives of thousands, and even millions, of followers. Many Christians, of course, have also joined this phenomenon. From the discipleship perspective, how should Christians approach being an influencer? What does it mean to be an influencer, anyway? And is an influencer distinct from a teacher? What implications does it have in terms of responsibility and accountability? Join Troy and Steve as they share their thoughts in this week’s edition of the AC Podcast.

By now you have at least heard about Medical Assistance In Dying, otherwise known as MAiD. What you might not know is that MAiD safeguards have been quickly removed in Canada. Despite the best efforts of those in opposition, it appears we are set for new legislation in March that will expand access to MAiD to those suffering with mental illness. This has many of us concerned for these vulnerable people in our society. On this week's episode Andy sits down with David Guretzki PhD, President of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) to give us an update on MAiD and what we can do about it. 

"The stars at night, are big and bright... deep in the heart of... ETS....in Texas!" The Evangelical Theological Society is a professional academic society of biblical and theological scholars, pastors, and students. Sound intense? It is! On this week's episode Andy, Troy and Wes hang out with a few friends while attending this years annual conference in San Antonio, Texas. Why is there such a challenge with the head meeting the heart? Listen as they recount moments of inspiration as well as moments of that called for intellectual humility.

When it comes to spiritual conversations in the church, there are few practices that bring up more discussion than speaking in tongues. What is it? Has the gift of tongues ceased or continued? How should it be practiced? Does speaking in tongues have salvific concern? Listen to Part 2 this week as Andy, Troy and Wes continue the discussion of tongues from their own personal experiences, and dive into some of the historical relevance and understanding of tongues in the ancient world.
