THE INDOUBT SHOW

There are so many different life stages that we can prepare for before we walk through them. It’s important to plan ahead as best as we can even though there are certain unknowns that go before us. In today’s program, host Andrew Marcus gets to spend time with longtime friends Cliff and Erin Ursel, pastors at Westside Church in Vancouver, and unpack all stages of life: singleness, dating, engagement, marriage and raising kids. 

Why should Christians care about church history? How did the church go from one faith to so many denominations? What can we learn from past revivals in church history? In this episode, Isaac Dagneau sits down with teaching pastor and professor David Wood to explore why church history still matters. From the early church to the Reformation and modern revivals, this conversation reveals how God has always been at work through broken people. You’ll hear wild stories—like the 18th-century pastor who preached for three years without being a Christian—and learn how past revivals, mistakes, and movements can encourage and warn us today. Whether you’re confused by denominational chaos or wondering how tradition fits with truth, this episode brings clarity, humility, and hope. Same God. Same Gospel. Still working.

You don’t have to look far to see that many people are struggling as we head into 2024. With the cost of living constantly rising, the talk and rumours of war, the advancement of technology happening at an alarming rate, it is easy to get overwhelmed by what seems to be chaos!! Join INDOUBT’s host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Luke Friesen, Northview Church’s high school pastor, as they lean into finding hope in the midst of hardship. 

We’ve heard debates about whether it is biblical to have a large mega church or a small house church. Now more than ever we need to put our preferences aside and join together with doctrinally sound communities as one Church, cheering each other on rather than trying to compete for who’s the best or the biggest. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with his dear friend Brett Landry, pastor of Christ City Church, as they unpack what it looks like to reach your community for Christ. 

What does it really mean to make your faith your own—and not just inherit it from your parents or your church culture? In this episode, guest host Luke Friesen sits down with young adults pastor Matt Bender to talk about the real struggles of owning your faith in today’s world. From deconstruction to doubt, bad church experiences, and spiritual burnout, Matt speaks honestly about how to navigate the tension between tradition and transformation. They unpack why some young people walk away, how false teaching can contribute to that, and why Jesus is still compelling when you meet Him on His terms—not just your preferences. Whether you're questioning everything or trying to grow deeper, this conversation will help you rethink faith, identity, and what it means to follow Jesus for yourself.

"Deconstruction” is another buzz word that is becoming more and more popular amongst Christians. The reality is, this is not a new concept, it has been happening for a long time. Once we grow up, start living on our own, getting married and start making our own decisions, we begin to question all we’ve already based our lives on from our upbringing. We begin to question it all. Join host Andrew Marcus as he sits down with church planter and pastor of Every Nation at the Surrey SFU campus Matt Johnson as they unpack deconstruction, its dangers and what our firm foundation must be throughout the whole process. 

What is baptism? Is baptism required for salvation? Is baptism just a religious performance or is there something spiritual happening in the water? In this episode, Glen Scrivener breaks down what baptism really means, why it’s so much more than just a symbol, and how it connects us to the story of Jesus. Whether you're wondering if you should get baptized, confused about its purpose, or exploring what faith looks like in action, this conversation clears up the confusion and gets real about the spiritual depth of baptism. If you’ve ever asked, “Do I need to be baptized?”—this is for you.

There is hope! It’s not all doom and gloom. Join host Andrew Marcus as he connects with Shawn Bonneteau from Deep Clean, an incredible ministry that offers one on one coaching, group coaching and a wide variety of resources to help those addicted break FREE! Jump into their conversation as they unpack the reality that there is hope for freedom. Freedom exists. You may not think there’s a way out, but there is. Listen now to learn some practical ways to overcome addiction and live a life of true freedom in Christ. 

What does it mean to be a godly father in today’s world? Am I ready to be a dad if I still struggle with my faith? Can you be a good Christian parent if you didn’t have a great dad? In this honest and heartfelt episode, guest host Liam Burgess sits down with father-son duo Sid and Payton Koop for a deep conversation on faith, family, and what it means to be a godly man in today’s world. Sid Koop—founder of Youth Worker Community—opens up about his own failures and growth as a dad, while Payton Koop, now a youth pastor himself, reflects on what it was like growing up with a ministry father and how he came to understand God's love through it all.

How do I become more like Jesus? How can I follow Jesus in real life? What does it mean to live like Jesus? In this episode, Andrew Marcus and pastor Jeremy Writebol unpack what it really means to become more like Christ. Instead of just "trying harder," they explore the power of beholding Christ—fixing our eyes on who He is—as the starting point for real transformation. With practical wisdom on habits, community, and navigating friendships, this conversation offers clarity for anyone seeking to follow Jesus more genuinely. If you've ever felt like you’re faking it, failing at it, or just not sure how to grow in Christlikeness—this episode is for you.
