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. 

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.

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.”
