Understanding Sin (Pt. 2): What are its Implications? Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

Sin and evil are not the sort of things we can be indifferent about. When we experience evil in our lives, we immediately recognize that something has to be done about it. With the sin and evil we see in our world and in ourselves, we are right to raise the question, "What has God done about it?" Andy, Steve, and Wes sit down together to hash out the implications of sin in this week's episode of the AC Podcast.

Understanding Sin (Pt. 1): What is It? Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

Sin is something of a dirty word in our culture. In the minds of many, it perhaps conjures up images of Bible-thumping Christians harassing young people for holding hands. But what exactly is sin? There is richness to this biblical concept that comes in many layers. In this two-part series on sin, Andy, Steve, and Wes sat down to discuss the layers and how they connect to other biblical concepts.

What the Resurrection Teaches Us about Heaven Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

The Holy Week leading up to Easter naturally has Christians reflecting on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. There will be many o' sermon, conversations and messages directing believers and non-believers alike to magnify what the Lord has done and is still doing for us, while we were yet sinners. On this week's episode Andy, Troy and Wes wanted to dive deeper in to the conversation about what the Resurrection teaches us about Heaven. From all of us at AC, Happy Easter!

Youth Homelessness: A Story of Redemption with Les Talvio Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Homelessness is unfortunately all too common. We, however, may not see just how prevalent it is around us, especially among the youth. Their homelessness is sometimes hidden behind their dirty clothes that we too easily chuck up to laziness. One man who comes from a broken home saw the need and responded. Listen to Andy's interview with Les Talvio, the founder and Executive Director of Cyrus Centre, to hear about how his own upbringing in a broken home opened his eyes to the needs of the homeless youth, and the kind of impact the Cyrus Centre is making.

We thank Northview Community Church for helping us film this interview.

In Chat GPT We Trust?: Ethical Implications of Artificial Creativity Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

We've talked about Artificial Intelligence before on the AC Podcast, highlighting it's growing influence on our culture. In many of those conversations however there was some form of parameters that would limit the average person from ever using it, be it opportunity or finance. But as of November 2022 a new search engine platform CHAT GPT has been unveiled and taken the AI world to new heights... or perhaps depths. From social media marketing plans to the ability to write an entire scholastic paper, the possibility are.. seemingly endless. Tune into the AC Podcast as Troy and Wes share their thoughts on essentially the new Ask Jeeves on steroids.

Staring MAiD in the Face: A Personal Story of End-of-Life Care Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Since the Supreme Court of Canada first opened the door to so-called MAiD (medical assistance in dying), the door has opened ever wider. It’s coming to the point where Canada is becoming extreme in her eagerness to offer death as an option to those who are suffering, tempered only by—at least, in theory—respect for the patient’s autonomy. In this week’s edition of the AC Podcast, Steve sat down with Mike Schouten, the Director of Advocacy for ARPA Canada, to put a human face to what can often be talked about in abstraction. Join us this week to hear from Mike how his family navigated the last days of a loved one and how this impacted their view on doctor-assisted death.

Welcome to the Wilderness: Discussing Troy's New Album "Scribe & the Wildlings" Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

The books of the bible that highlight the journey through the wilderness for the Israelites and Jesus have enough drama in them to make a movie. If we're willing to, it's also fairly easy to see ourselves in their shoes and how our own seasons of wilderness can relate back to the same mistakes made by God's people. On this week's episode Steve chats with AC's own Troy aka Scribe Music about his new album, Scribe & the Wildlings and how the contrast of Jesus and the Israelites time in the wilderness directly influenced his new project.
