THE INDOUBT SHOW

We have all experienced pain, trauma, and difficulties at some point in our lives. It is not always easy to leave these struggles behind in the past. How can we escape the bitter grip of a painful past? This week we are joined by Chris Brown, author, pastor, and speaker, to discuss his latest book Restored, where he walks readers through his own journey of moving through the trauma of a rocky childhood. Chris also reveals an important lesson on being stewards of our past, and how we can take the reins on our pain and use it to bring glory to God.

We’ve all had those moments when our Bible reading feels more like a chore rather than an opportunity to deepen our relationship with the Lord. This week Matt Smethurst, former lead editor of TGC and now lead pastor at River City Baptist Church in Virginia, joins us to discuss his book “Before You Open Your Bible: 9 heart postures for approaching God’s Word”. In this discussion of these 9 heart postures, we are reminded of just how privileged we are to have access to His word, and Matt gives us insight that helps us approach our Bible humbly and graciously.

Many of us have that one, go-to Bible verse we reflect on during hard times. But what about having a number of go-to verses for the different seasons we endure in life? This week Lee Brubacher, worship director at WestHighland Church and author of the article “Entering my Multiverse” joins us to talk about the multiple verses he has relied on for the different periods of difficulty in his life. In this discussion, we are reminded of the comfort and encouragement we receive when we seek counsel in God’s word.

In an increasingly secular society, it is not uncommon for the topic of faith as it pertains to Jesus to raise eyebrows. Why would anyone follow Jesus? This week we are joined by guest Ray Comfort to discuss just that as he walks us through his latest book entitled “Why Would Anyone Follow Jesus?”. Ray is the founder and CEO of Living Waters, and author of many books. He enlightens us to the core reasons why individuals doubt Jesus and His Word. He also equips us with powerful tools for evangelism and closes with insight on how to stay grounded in our faith when facing the inevitable challenges of this world.

The last two years amid the covid-19 pandemic have certainly left a huge impact on us all. But what does this impact look like for young adults? Vinh Doan, young adult pastor at Northview Church, joins us this week to discuss the long-term difficulties young adults are facing as we begin to move out of a two-year long pandemic. Issues of depression, anxiety, insecurity, and uncertainty are all discussed, and Vinh closes with a message of hope to inspire and encourage those who may be navigating these struggles. 

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is undoubtedly the most significant event in history for Christians. It is through faith that we believe in Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins and accept him as our Saviour. But did you know there also exists compelling objective evidence for the resurrection? This week, with Daniel Markin as our host, we are joined by George Sinclair, Rector of Church of the Messiah in Ottawa and Principal of Ryle Seminary, to discuss his article “10 Concise Pieces of Evidence for the Resurrection”. In their conversation they touch on the significance of the four eyewitness accounts, the empty grave, and more that will certainly leave you with a sense of strengthened faith.

We are all deeply troubled by the crisis currently taking place in Ukraine. As young adults, it can be difficult to know how to help, especially if we are unable to provide significant financial support. This week, our guest Jason Krul, international director of Hungry for Life, describes the humanitarian efforts made by this organization to provide both spiritual and physical relief for nations in need. In this discussion, Jason zeros in on what they are doing to help Ukraine specifically, how they establish a position in a foreign country to provide help, and also lists a number of ways young adults can contribute to the cause.

Isn’t it a little weird to think that the oldest Millennials are now approaching their forties? It’s true. The youngest generation is no longer the Millennials, but Gen-Z. Gen-Zers are born roughly between 1999 and 2015. Are they like Millennials? In some ways, yes. But in other ways, no. With us this week to help us know more about Gen-Zers, how they differ from Millennials, and how Millennials can best engage Gen-Zers with the gospel, is author and speaker Jonathan Morrow.

Guest Andrew Peterson, singer-songwriter and author, discusses the role of Christian artists and why they are necessary. The podcast explores the journey of faith through music, embracing creativity as a sub-creator, and the importance of understanding Scripture and nurturing personal creativity.

How’s faith in Canada? Some studies have come out in the past few years that look into some specifics when it comes to the general attitudes and beliefs in Canada. It’s a privilege to have Executive Director of The Gospel Coalition Canada, Wyatt Graham, with us this week to discuss some of those findings and how the church can best respond. For example, why are we seeing young people more interested in Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy today? Why are liberal/progressive churches shrinking? Join us for this week’s conversation.
