Most of us don’t think about death all that much, at least until we experience it near us. And yet, when we examine our behaviour, we will find that almost everything we do is driven by our fear of death at some level. How does the gospel change the framework on this? Andy and Steve invited a friend and teacher, Dr. Clay Jones, to discuss his newest book, Immortal: How the Fear of Death Drives Us and What We Can Do About It.

In 1799, a fascinating discovery was made by one Pierre-François Bouchard. This large and dark chunk of rock, discovered in the Egyptian port city of Rosetta, was the key to reviving a dead language. How might a dead language be revived? And how might that illuminate how to decipher our personhood? Andy, Steve, and Troy came together to discuss the significance of the Rosetta Stone that goes far beyond the deciphering of a dead language in this week’s edition of the AC Podcast.

What would happen if all copies of the New Testament were destroyed? Would we still be able to know anything about Jesus of Nazareth from history alone outside what the New Testament tells us? What can a cold-case homicide detective featured in Dateline tell us about such a scenario? In this week’s edition of the AC Podcast, Andy reunites virtually with a good friend, J. Warner Wallace, to discuss his new book, Person of Interest. In it, Jim shares how he employs a unique investigative strategy to solve murder cases that have no body or crime scene, and how we can use the same strategy to discover truths about Jesus.

Last week, we heard from Jennifer what her journey was like being in New Age spirituality. We continue that conversation this week as we hear more about the aftermath of that lifestyle. How did she come to be rescued by Jesus? What happens to a woman who was brainwashed for 20 years? How does one heal from something like that? Are there spiritual doors that Christians may be opening unwittingly? Hear more from Andy and Jennifer’s conversation on this week’s edition of the AC Podcast.

There's a shift occurring in our society today away from naturalism and toward supernaturalism. In a secular society starved for a spiritual perspective in their lives, people are increasingly turning to New Age Spirituality. On this episode of the AC podcast, join Andy as he interviews Jennifer about her cautionary tale. In an attempt to find a higher power to help her, Jennifer became trapped in New Age Spirituality for over 20 years. It wasn't until she met Jesus, a higher power who did help her, that she was set free. 

Behind the weekly podcast and other more visible work of ministry, Apologetics Canada has been undergoing some big and exciting changes in the background as of late. One such change is the growing ministry family. This week, Andy and Troy sat down with Jane, one of our newest team members, to hear her testimony of how evil has actually led to God, and also to hear her heart for evangelism and prayer.

“Is math racist?” Even the question itself seems absurd, and yet it is being asked. What might be lying behind this question? What is the value of IQ tests, and how does it relate to the value of us as human beings? Andy, Steve, and Wesley came together to ponder these questions on this week’s edition of the AC Podcast.

Earlier this month, the nation of Afghanistan saw the resurgence of Taliban extremists walk across the country and ultimately assume full control. This recent overthrow of power comes directly off the back of US President Joe Biden’s decision to remove the American troops. With scenes of desperation sweeping across social media, there was a rare solidarity amongst news outlets declaring this a moment of serious concern. Join Troy and Wes as they chat about the history of the Afghan conflict and how the church can and should respond during such times.
