THE INDOUBT SHOW

For most of us, the Christmas season brings about stress, comparison, and, generally, a lack of time and/or money. But is that how we should be approaching it? Should we really be experiencing Christmas this way? On this week’s episode of indoubt, Alexandra Kuykendall joins us to discuss what it means to love Christmas in the context of our actual lives. So often we immediately expect to be stressed out during the holidays because that what we’ve learned to expect. But Isaac and Alexandra encourage us to step outside of our expectations and learn to love our Christmas season, no matter what moment of life we’re in.

Have you ever wondered why young adults are leaving the church in record numbers? On this episode of indoubt, join our host Isaac as he talks with researcher Rick Hiemstra to discuss this reality, and what we can do to prevent it. With so many young people abandoning their faith, it’s important to understand why it’s happening, and how to combat it, since, if we’re not careful, we will soon be in a world where Christianity is no longer relatable to a younger generation, and generations after us will miss out on hearing and experiencing the truth of Jesus in their lives.

The Bible is one of the most famous books in history. It has been translated into nearly every language in the world, placed in most countries, and most people have some understanding of what is written inside. But with the long history and widespread popularity of the Bible, we need to ask the question: can we actually trust the Bible? Join this week’s guest Wesley Huff as he breaks down what the Bible is, why we can trust it, and how unchanged it has remained since its creation thousands of years ago!

We have all struggled in the battle with sexual sin. We may find ourselves stuck in a vicious cycle between self-righteousness when we are managing our temptations well, and then shame when we are not. But how can we escape the grip of sexual sin? This week we are joined by Garrett Kell, pastor and author, to discuss his book Pure in Heart: Sexual Sin and the Promises of God. Garrett reminds us that sexual purity begins in the heart, when we orient our focus on seeking Jesus and desire to be like Him. He also encourages anyone who is struggling with temptations to lean into the grace of God, and emphasizes that there is liberation from the shame of our impure desires when we shift our hearts and minds from a worldly focus to a heavenly focus.

Is it more important to be politically correct or to be biblically correct? As Christians, our answer should be simple/automatic but, in a culture that’s easily swayed, offended, or outraged, oftentimes, we get stuck too. On this week’s episode of indoubt, Mark Sayers joins Daniel to discuss what’s going on in our cultural moment. How do we balance what’s relevant with our faith and still remain faithful? What can we do to make a difference? Is there still hope for the future of Christianity, young adults and the local church? You’ll hear all those questions and more talked through on this episode.

Yes, our lives are sacred. Yes, we should do our absolute best to preserve our life on earth. But what happens when medical technologies, or medicine, are simply prolonging death instead of preserving life? On this week’s episode of indoubt, we’re joined by author and trauma surgeon, Kathryn Butler, who shares her unique perspective on end-of-life medical care. Isaac and Kathryn discuss how easy it is to blur the lines between life and death with today’s technological advancements and the effects that has on each one of us. Talking through questions like: What is too much suffering? How does someone make a life-ending decision for their loved one? And, how do we balance the sovereignty of God with medicine?

It's easy for us living in North America to take for granted what a privilege it is to have the freedom to read our Bibles, attend church services, and practice our Christian beliefs. However, there are millions of Christians around the world who don’t have those rights, and even live under the constant threat of persecution. This week we are joined by Gary Stagg, Executive Director of Open Doors Canada. He walks us through the extent and severity of persecution that many Christians in other nations are facing, as well as the various ways in which Open Doors responds to those in need. Gary also encourages us with some ideas of how we too can help our Christian brothers and sisters living under these oppressive conditions.

Decoding the symbolism and imagery that make up the book of Revelation is challenging. What does it all mean? What is God telling us in this book? This week we are joined by Nancy Guthrie, author and Bible teacher, to discuss her book Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation. Nancy walks us through some of the common mistakes we tend to make when reading scripture, and the importance of understanding the Bible as a complete story. She also unveils the message we are to take away from the book of Revelation and emphasizes its importance and relevance to young adults today. 

In the midst of ordinary people, places, sights, and sounds, how do you worship? Can we still worship in the everyday moments of life? On this week’s episode of indoubt, Ruth Chou Simons joins us to discuss the art of everyday worship. It’s so easy for us to take for granted the things that we see around us each day, but Ruth and Daniel encourage us to linger longer on the beauty that surrounds us. Whether you’re cooking, decorating your home, working, or creating, you can use those things to ultimately glorify God. The question is how will we direct our eyes, hearts, minds, and hands in the everyday?
