4.37 - Why Canaan REDUX
If you've ever wondered why the "conquest" had to happen this is the episode for you. Many, like Rhett and Link, have struggled to reconcile their understanding of the God of the (seemingly violent) conquest of Canaan with the God who embodied love in the person of Jesus. The guys explain - the love embodied in Jesus only makes sense with the land of Canaan in the background.

4.35 - Urban Myths 2 Redux

4.33 - Viral Outrage
This week the guys focus on the social media trend of divisiveness, hate speech, outrage, and "outgroup" alienation. Should Christians make use of these negative algorithms to increase their social media presence (likes, shares, comments, interactions, etc)? If the gospel is being shared - even with a touch of hostility or divisiveness - isn't it still worth it?

4.30 - Demonology - Part 4
This week the guys focus on the story of "Legion" to see if it sheds light on where demons come from and why they do what they do. Built from the evidence, the guys offer a theory on the origin of demons and explain the relationship between Satan and demons.

4.29 - Demonology - Part 3
This week the guys have reached the relevant New Testament passages on demons. Are demons malevolent forces in an epic spiritual battle against Jesus? Are they spiritual forces with little real power - misunderstood health issues or sicknesses? Somewhere in the middle? Listen in for some discussion and answers with the ACP guys.

4.28 - Demonology - Part 2
The guys continue the discussion on demons/evil spirits. They wrap up all mention of anything remotely "spirit" in the OT and move to investigate two references in the Intertestamental Literature (Tobit & 1 Enoch). If you like languages - you're in luck! - a lot of this episode hinges on the meaning of various Hebrew and Greek words.
