Recently, Andy returned from a trip to Romania. From the World Congress, to local churches, and even to a radio station, he had some wonderful opportunities to speak in various settings.

This is a special week for Apologetics Canada. The AC Podcast celebrates its 400th episode!

Join the AC team as they share why they do this podcast and the very human process behind it all.
Do women and children have inherent human dignity? Almost all of us would readily say, “Yes, of course!” In fact, it would seem almost weird in our culture to even raise that question because the answer seems so obvious. Yet, it hasn’t always been this way, and, often human dignity was allotted selectively. Join Wes, Troy, and Steve on this week’s episode of AC Podcast, as they discuss universal human dignity, its justification, and what Roman brothels have to do with it.
“They judge you, they judge Christ, Godspeed to women’s rights.” Coming off the back of the overturning of the Roe V. Wade decision, Recording Artist and Pop Culture mogul Kendrick Lamar recites this polarizing message at the Glastonbury festival in England. If his mantra wasn’t enough, Kendrick, already dawning a crown of thorns, would then drip prop blood imitating Christ. Join Troy, Steve and Wes as they discuss Symbology in the arts and the importance of a gentle response in light of a sacrilegious displays in modern culture.
Conscience is a hot topic these days. Many people — especially certain medical professionals — are feeling the pressure of rapidly changing cultural values. What is conscience? Why is it important to allow room for people to act according to their conscience? Andy, Steve, Troy, and Wes sat down together to discuss these questions and more as Andy prepares for a big trip ahead.
There has often been a tendency to be rather comparative when it comes to sharing testimonies. While Christian culture often lends its attention to the most tragic of stories, it doesn't share it's scars.

Tune into this week's episode as we introduce Alanzo to the AC Podcast audience. Hear about how God radically changed Alanzo's life and what he's doing with the grace he's been given.

Why is this such a big deal? Steve and Wes invited Tabitha Ewert of We Need a Law to chat about the significance of this very sensitive cultural nerve point.

What are some words you would use to label yourself? An Arminian Japanese engineer? A likeable Sudanese Sufi Muslim? There are a myriad of ways to identify and describe ourselves.
