Defund the Morality Police Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

In discussing morality, one question that often arises is whether the application of said morality is subjective or objective. Also, the foundation of that morality also comes into discussion when comparing a secular worldview with a religious one. Recently, a young Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, lost her life while in the custody of Iran’s Morality Police after the 22-year-old was arrested for improper dressing of her Hijab. This seems to be the straw that broke the backs of many Iranians, particularly women, who are already dissatisfied with the country’s focus on Sharia Law. Join Andy, Troy and Wes as they discuss the roots of morality and whether the western world has its own morality police.

Reflecting on the Monarchy Sep 23, 2022

Show notes

The UK and the British Commonwealth officially said goodbye to the Queen Elizabeth II this week as her funeral was held. From mourning to outright celebration, the passing of the longest-reigning monarch in the British history is evoking all manner of reactions. Is she to be remembered as a woman of virtue and faith, or is she to be remembered as the figurehead of colonialism? What is the significance of monarchy in a practically democratic country? Andy, Steve, Troy, and Wes came together to debrief their reactions to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, and to reflect on monarchy in general and the British monarchy in particular.

Show notes

This week, the AC team continues the conversation on the issue of whether people can lose their salvation once they have received it.

How do Andy, Wes, Troy, and Steve answer the question, “Can you lose your salvation?” Tune in to part 2 of this two-part episode to find out.

Can You Lose Your Salvation? Part I Sep 09, 2022

Show notes

Apostasy. That’s a relatively unfamiliar word for most people. Yet, the concept is a familiar one to most Christians, particularly Protestants. Once saved, can you lose your salvation? Not only does this question touch on many points of Christian doctrine, it’s also one that is deeply emotional for many Christians. Much theological and philosophical ink has been spilled over this issue and many heated debates have been had. Andy, Wes, Troy, and Steve sat down to hash out their own disagreements in this two-part episode.

6 Myths We Might Believe About Christianity Sep 02, 2022

Show notes

Often, what we think is a matter of common sense turns out to be false. All of us probably hold to ideas that we would begin with “Everyone knows…” that are just not true. This week’s edition of the AC Podcast features Wes and Steve talking about some things we might believe about Christianity that are either completely wrong or greatly exaggerated.

Green Greed: The Rise of Extreme Environmentalism Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

The fight for the environment is taking on greater and greater priority for many government agencies. But can we go too far in protecting the environment? Now, farmers are saying it’s led to irrational measures. Join Andy, Steve and Troy as they discuss the implications of extreme environmentalism and what the Christian worldview has to say about the role of humanity in it all.

Did God Really Say…?: Addressing Questions of Biblical Inspiration Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

Inspiration of Scripture — the idea that God breathed out Scripture through human authors — is something Evangelical Christians would be happy to affirm. It speaks both to its source and authority. And yet, our defense of it rarely goes beyond the mere citation of 2 Timothy 3:16. The AC team came together on this week’s edition of the AC Podcast to talk about the inspiration of Scripture more intentionally by taking questions from a young adult.

MAiD in Canada: The Legal and Social Pressure of Assisted Suicide Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

It used to be that death was not an acceptable outcome of a medical procedure. Well, no more. The legal and social development in Canada in the last several years has opened the door to assisted suicide and euthanasia. When death is an acceptable outcome of a medical procedure, how does it impact both medical professionals and those who are on the receiving end of the needle? Andy and Steve invited Larry Worthen, the Executive Director for the Christian Medical and Dental Association in Canada, to discuss the legal and social aspect of this discussion.

Deception! The Craft of Satan Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

Deception, an aspect of the Fall of Man, receives comparatively little attention, yet it has the potential to exercise one of the most far-reaching influences in our lives from social media posts to adverts on TV to financial investments, even to our relationships, down to what we believe about reality, the world, life, death, and God! Join Andy Steiger as he sits down with Author Lee N. Emerson to discuss his book "Deception!" and hat the Bible has to say about the subject in relation to our culture past and present.

The Divided Logic of LGBTQ+ Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

"A house divided against itself, cannot stand." This has become the reality for the LGBTQ+ community as of late. So much so, that even leading activists are hesitant to comment on how dire of a situation they find themselves. It goes without saying that the logical disagreements on gender identity speak to the much deeper issues of our human identity. Join Andy, Troy and Wes as they discuss the logical implications this debate is having on our increasingly polarized world.
