THE INDOUBT SHOW

Every type of technology has pros and cons, which leads to the question: if technology like smartphones, are so bad, why do we even use them? But rather than going to the extreme and giving up on technology completely, Tony Reinke joins us on this episode of indoubt to examine these pros and cons, and ultimately acknowledge that technology isn’t all bad. Tony and Isaac urge us to recognize where we’re misusing our smartphones and how it can actually be a tool to help us flourish. In this episode, you’ll hear them elaborate on ways that our phones are changing us, but also how we, as Christians, can learn to navigate through that.

What exactly is Mormonism? This week we are joined again by Bryan Hurlbutt for a deep dive into the topic of Mormonism. In this episode, Bryan walks us through the history of this religion, the key ways in which it differs from Christianity, and closes with how we can evangelize to Mormons and share the true gospel of Jesus Christ that has been revealed to us in the Bible.

What does it really mean to be a disciple? What should discipleship look like? This week we are joined by Bryan Hurlbutt, lead pastor at Lifeline Community church, to walk us through a discipleship structure that, through his experience, honours the true purpose of being a disciple of Jesus. Bryan emphasizes how discipleship is not a one and done accomplishment, but an ongoing journey in our walk with the Lord that we should be continuously growing in at all stages of our lives. 

Do you ever find yourself struggling to escape the grasp of social media on your life? Then you are certainly not alone in that. This week Sarah Zylstra, senior editor of the Gospel Coalition, joins us to discuss the impact of social media on young adults, particularly young adult women. She reminds us of the various detrimental effects social media can have on our relationships, time management, body image and overall mental capacity. Sarah then gives insight on how we can take back the power from social media and ensure we are using it in a Christ-centered manner.  

From Mario Brothers to Fortnite, we’ve seen video games shift from generation to generation, ultimately propelling a $40 billion a year industry. With new trends on the rise every year, video games aren’t going anywhere, and should we want them to? On this week’s episode of indoubt, Kevin Schut joins us to give a Christian perspective on video games. We breakdown the stigmas surrounding them, including violence and antisocial tendencies, asking whether or not Christians should be playing video games at all. At the same time, Kevin and Isaac discuss the positive ways that gaming has grown and how we can use that as an opportunity and a chance to evaluate our walk with God. Join us as we explore the world of gaming and how we, as Christians, should be viewing them.

This episode is more than simply asking: who are you listening to? We really dive into the subject of life-long learning. To join us in this task is Executive Editor at DesiringGod, David Mathis. In addition to being a husband, father, pastor, and editor at DesiringGod, David spends a lot of time writing articles on various subjects of life and faith. In our conversation, he helps set us up so we can engage the news and subjects of this world in a way that ultimately glorifies God. In short, David sets us on the trajectory to become life-long learners.

Like all things in this world, it’s crucial to think biblically, critically, and prayerfully about them. This includes alcohol. Popular blogger and author Tim Challies joins us for a conversation on Christians and alcohol.

Assisted suicide is becoming increasingly accessible. Secular society views this as a humane act to put an end to individuals’ suffering. But what are we, as Christians, to make of it? This week our guest Ewan Goligher, physician and scientist at the University of Toronto, joins us to discuss just that. Ewan shares how intrinsically valuable human life is, as we are all beings created in the image of God. He also reminds us how there is always meaning and purpose in our pain, just as there was when Jesus suffered for our sins on the cross.
