Are you living in a ‘stupid normal’? Here’s the long and the short of it: we, as human beings, are created for God. Because of this, we long for significance and joy. However, today’s culture has removed “God” from their thinking, resulting in a ‘stupid normal’ lifestyle that doesn’t acknowledge God at all. The irony is, we’re only going to find our significance and joy when we find it in God through Christ. Jonathan Parnell, author of Never Settle for Normal: the Proven Path to Significance and Happiness, joins us this week to help us get from ‘stupid normal’ to living in the satisfied life of the Gospel.

It’s the week before Christmas, and people may be thinking What’s Christmas all about anyway? To help answer this on a very logical level is popular Christian apologist Sean McDowell. Sean helps show us how we can believe in the historical Jesus – that He really lived, died, and rose again. He also encourages us to remember to evangelize during this season.

When you read the Christmas story in your Bible, what are you reading? So often we’ll say Luke or Matthew – and that’s not wrong! But there’s a bigger picture to the whole of it. And on this week’s episode of indoubt, we’re joined by Ross Breitkreuz to discuss just that – the entire Christmas story, beginning with Adam and Eve. Daniel and Ross challenge each of us to understand that Christmas doesn’t just start in the New Testament and with the birth of Jesus. And, you’ll hear both Daniel and Ross as they encourage us to take time over this holiday season to look at the full, seamless story of the gospel and God’s overwhelming love for us.

This week Dr. Marina Hofman joins Daniel to provide great insights into the life and calling of Mary. They also examine Mary’s response and consider how we all need to respond when God calls us for his purpose. 

Why is it important today that the whole Bible, including the Old Testament, speaks to the death and resurrection of Jesus? Why does it matter? Why put in the effort to see Christ in the Old Testament? With us this week is hip-hop artist and author Timothy Brindle, who’s spent years studying this. And since he’s an artist, he decided to not just write a book about his findings, but to write a correlating album with it. The Unfolding speaks to the unfolding plan of God seen in the Bible. In addition to this, Timothy helps explain and apply the often-confused Jeremiah 29:11.

One of the most important yet forgotten issues that we know in our Christian life is this: friendship. It’s almost as if we think it’s so easy that we don’t really talk about it or emphasize it when we preach the Word. The reality is, friendship is crucial. In fact, it’s the only relationship that continues when we get to heaven. To help us understand what biblical friendship is (not just superficial relationships), we chat with pastor and counsellor at Parkside Church in Ohio, Jonathan Holmes. Our conversation hones in on how we’re relational beings, what biblical friendship is, and how to grow in friendships that glorify God.

On this episode of Indoubt, Daniel speaks with Daryl Dash. Daryl is the author of How to Grow: Applying the Gospel to All of Life. He is also a pastor. Daryl speaks about relevance in relation to church and culture. How do we remain relevant within our culture? The goal is to bring the gospel to people without conformity while remaining relevant. 

On this episode of Indoubt, Daniel speaks with Greg Stier. Greg manages the Dare 2 Share Christian ministry - Helping Youth Leaders to empower students in sharing the gospel. Greg speaks about his new book “Unlikely Fighter”. The first 21 chapters of the 22 chapter book speaks of the challenges he faced before turning 16. Raised without a father in the inner city and within a violent family. He speaks of finding his identity in Christ. 

This week Daniel speaks with Dr. John Neufeld, Bible teacher of Back to the Bible Canada regarding his new book, Heaven and Hell. Find out what the Bible actually says about hell.
