The AC Podcast

It's the Mother's Day takeover! For the first time AC hosts got the opportunity to hand the reins of the AC Podcast over to the incredible women in their lives. It goes without saying that much of what is done at AC wouldn't be possible without the support, wisdom and insight of these incredible ladies. Tune in and listen to Jasmine (wife of Troy), Shareena (wife of Steve) and Melissa (wife of Wes) as they discuss motherhood, marriage and ministry on this AC Podcast special.

It's no secret that the Christian Music industry has grown to heights and levels that rival the modern industry. Yet, it has to be said that their are potential dangers that come with celebrity culture finding its footing in the church. Troy sits down with CHVN radio host Mike Thom to chat about the modern music industry and the desire to keep worship as a matter of the heart rather than the paycheque.

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.

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?

The pandemic has seen many Christian events and programs shut down, causing many to rethink their methods of evangelism. One initiative of Youth For Christ Saskatoon, called California Breakaway, has made it their goal to always be willing to explore creative ways to reach today's youth. They've been doing it since 1974 Join Troy as he chats with YFC Saskatoon Director of Calbreak and Communications, Corwin Thiessen as he shares his heart for the youth and why YFC Saskatoon does what they do.

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.

We have watched from afar as the Russian military have continued to invade Ukraine for the last month. It can be difficult to know what's actually going on and how to respond. In part 2 of "Invaded" Andy sits down with 3 Ukrainian believers whose families are still caught in the war. A brother, a sister and friend give us an update on Ukraine, their families and how the church can get involved.

Crossings: A Journey to Easter is an all-outdoor art exhibition featuring 16 art pieces depicting the scriptural stations of the cross. Set at sites throughout downtown and midtown Toronto, Crossings draws upon the centuries-old Christian spiritual practice of walking and praying the path that Jesus took on his way to the cross. In this exhibit, the Stations are captured through sacred art pieces expressing the dramatic moments of Jesus’ final hours. Wes and Troy sit down with John Franklin the exhibits organizer and Toronto founder from Imago arts to hear his heart behind the event during this Easter season.

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.

How do we love well, when we disagree? Can we honour people while maintaining difference of opinion? Join Troy and Miss MacKenzie in the classroom of Regent Christian Academy to hear from some bright Grade 3 students explore these questions and more.
