When Medicine Meets Metaphysics: An Interview with Raphael Samuel, M.D. Apr 22, 2022

Show notes

Most, if not all, deliberate human activity gets filtered through the lens of some worldview. What has metaphysics got to do with medicine? As it turns out, quite a lot. Questions of medical ethics touch on what it means to be human, what the value of human life is, and a host of other issues of deepest significance. Today, Andy sat down with Raphael Samuel, an anesthesiologist and a Christian apologist, who is also one of Apologetics Canada's adjunct speakers, to discuss the beauty and the brokenness of the human body.

Reduce, Reuse, Ridiculous? Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

Why should I care about the environment?” Asked this question, most people would say, “because we need to save the planet for future generations.” Yet, if life has no meaning or purpose, why bother saving the environment for anyone, let alone future generations? We might as well get what we can while we can. If we ought to protect the environment (and we should), we need a worldview that provides a better answer. And what’s Easter got to do with the environment?

Cancel Culture: Being Gracious in a Shaming Society Apr 01, 2022

Show notes

It's no secret to anyone that cancel culture has dug its fingers into society. The truth is, no one is safe from its impact, and that includes the accuser. We have seen many go on somewhat of a crusade in the hopes of bringing "justice" and "accountability" to a person or an organization who has committed an act deemed inexcusable. But what is that foundation of that judgement, how are we to know when we've gone too far? Join the team of Andy, Steve and Troy as they discuss these questions and more.

1984 with Dr. Scott Masson Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

Are we headed towards a totalitarian dystopia? George Orwell’s work, 1984, has been gaining more attention in recent days. Some think we are getting dangerously close to Orwell’s dystopia. Others think this is an overreaction. In preparation for the upcoming AC Literary Expedition, Steve and Wes invited Dr. Scott Masson on this week’s edition of the AC Podcast to discuss how Orwell’s insights apply to us today.
