Do spiritual gifts still exist today? Gifts like tongues or healing? What’s the difference between spiritual gifts and natural talents and abilities? Understanding these things is an important part of the Christian walk. If we don’t know how God has wired us and the talents and gifts He’s given, how are we to live them out? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with pastor Fredy Orozco and pastor Luke Friesen for THE INDOUBT SHOW LIVE at Northview Church in Abbotsford where they unpack what the Bible says about gifts and talents.
Often times we hear people say that the Bible is filled with contradictions, or that there is not enough evidence to confirm any credibility for the Gospel writings. Other people ask, “what about all the other books that did not make it into the Bible, like the Gospel of Thomas? Or what about all the different translations? How do we determine which one is an accurate copy of the earliest manuscripts?” Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time Wes Huff from Apologetics Canada to discuss all kinds of evidence that is sure to encourage you in your faith
Many people claim that the law of attraction is a way of life that works. That you can manifest positive things in your life by attracting them to yourself. This spiritual practice has leaked into the church community, in particular the prosperity movement. But what do you tell someone who believes in this teaching and feels it has worked for them? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author and influencer Jon Clash where they unpack his latest book on the Law of Attraction and his testimony of being immersed in its lies.
Many people wrestle with doubts. What is doubt? The Oxford Dictionary defines doubt as a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction.

Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with local youth pastor Payton Koop where they discuss the root of doubt, and how to navigate it in a way that honours God.
The demonic world is often times misunderstood, causing unnecessary fear. Demons do exist, but are not always responsible for everything negative that happens in your life. This week we dive into part 2 of our conversation with host Andrew Marcus and Dr. Chris Berg as they unpack casting out demons, possession, oppression, God’s sovereignty in it all and our responsibility as believers.
Sometimes we give credit to Satan and the demonic world more than they deserve. It is important to discuss angels and demons to be aware of how they operate. So what are demons?

What are angels? What do they do today? When people claim to have heard from an angel, how do we know if it’s real? Modern Christians often fall into two traps: disregarding the spiritual realm, or too easily believing claims about encounters with spiritual beings. Angels are real, made by God for a purpose, but we have to be on guard because the devil masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). Join host Andrew Marcus as we discuss more Spiritual Things with Dr. Chris Berg! This time, we’re breaking down what angels DO and DON’T do according to the Bible, and why God operates t...

We must fix our eyes on all that God has done through His Word, and throughout church history with those who have gone before us. When we remember God’s character, we are filled with peace, hope, and a confidence in who God is and His goodness towards us. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with his dear...
We are living in an interesting time to say the very least.

As culture continues to change, it seems that many Christians continue to adapt to the changes. Many people are saying yes and amen to things that should be avoided rather than encouraged and celebrated. What about swearing? The use of profanity in today’s culture is something that most people do not even think twice about. Is profanity something that Christians should use in their day-to-day conversations, or is it something that we ought to avoid? Does the Bible say anything about the use of swear words, crude language, crude joking? What about using the Lord’s name in vain, is that worse...

A lot of people quote the passage incorrectly and say that money is the root of all kinds of evil. They are missing one key word. Love. It is, in fact, the love of money that is the root of all kinds of evil. Money in itself is not evil. It can be used for good and for God! The Bible talks a lot about money.
