Have you ever felt overwhelmed with how much information is beamed on your devices? How do we discern what’s actually truth?

Our ministry friend Dr. John Neufeld from Back to the Bible Canada has a brand new book that we cannot wait to discuss! Who Speaks for God? helps readers understand how to ultimately discern truth by taking us straight to the source: God’s Word. It unpacks spiritual gifts, healings, tongues and ultimately how to discern truth in our n...
How do we lovingly journey with those who have trauma from sexual abuse? How do we respond when someone tells us that they are born gay? How do we biblically love those in the LGBTQ+ community? Marriage is a high calling, but what about singleness? What are healthy boundaries for dating? This week host Andrew Marcus joins the Union Movement for their conference to unpack many questions about sexuality, identity and relationships to help us navigate conversations with people who are open and closed-minded and how our tone and language matter.

There are lots of Christmas celebrations scheduled in the next few days, and for good reason! Jesus Christ was born, and that is perfect cause to celebrate! The question is, was He actually born on December 25th? Are the origins of our Christmas celebrations and traditions pagan or biblical? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Wesley Huff from Apologetics Canada to unpack the historical truths of Christmas and what it looks like to celebrate Christ’s birth in today’s culture.
Indoctrination is defined as “teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs UNCRITICALLY.” Culture refers to this methodology as “BRAINWASHING.” Is this how we want to win children to Christ?

Buckle up! This episode is quite the ride! 😅

Join us in conversation with host Andrew Marcus and guest Matt Smethurst as we walk through passages like Matthew 7:1, John 7:24, 1 Corinthians 5:12, and 1 Corinthians 6 to learn how to show grace and humility in our judgements amidst church feuds and false teachers.
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 do they do in today’s world? What are their responsibilities for the hardships we endure? What does the Bible say about the demonic world? Join host Andrew Marcus as he discusses the theology of demons with Dr. Chris Berg for our Spiritual Things series! We must always have the perspective through the lens of God’s power and the power and presence of The Holy Spirit. This is an important conversation for discer...
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...
In today’s culture, it is getting harder and harder for Christians to navigate healthy discipleship when it comes to the topics of sexuality, identity and our desires.

*Previously aired on June 19, 2023* (Interview Only)Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey as she unpacks her book The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. This is a big topic in today’s culture and so it is critical for us as believers to understand the truths of Scripture when it comes to masculinity and the significant role a man plays in his family and community. Men are created in the image of God and have value and worth so we need to reconcile this truth.
*Previously aired on March 27, 2023* (Interview Only)There has been a quote floating around for many years that says, “Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.” This quote has been shared by many Christians with good intentions, but there are some problems with it. The main problem is this: it’s just not biblical. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with author and pastor Matt Smethurst as they discuss 5 tools to help you become evangelism ready and how it is absolutely crucial to use words! Tune in and learn how we can better prepare ourselves to share our fait...
Context is everything. There are so many believers who naively take individual verses from Scripture and try to make it frame their theology. The reality is, we can make all sorts of passages mean all sorts of things depending on what we want to hear. Join host Andrew Marcus as he sits down with ministry friend Dr. John Neufeld from Back to the Bible Canada where they unpack the dangers of taking passages out of context, how to avoid it, and go through some of the most commonly misinterpreted Scriptures amongst Christians.
One of the most dangerous things we see in today’s culture is forgetfulness. A major event takes place, and it only takes a few days to forget and move on to the latest news. The same thing happens when it comes to our spiritual journeys. It is crucial for us as believers to remember. 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. We see preachers that are politically motivated delivering messages that are geared more towards social justices and culture rather than unpacking biblical truths. As we gear up for election season in America and all that is happening within Canada, we need to make sure we are rooted in God’s Word. How should Christians engage in politics? How far is too far? What if the government is coming against our views and beliefs? How do we respond and engage with that? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Senior Ambassador and Pr...
Join us this week on THE INDOUBT SHOW as we dive into the great christianity and culture debate recorded live from Manitoba, Winkler!

Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Back to the Bible Canada’s Bible teacher Dr. John Neufeld where they tackle these important questions.
Many people become hopeless when they are in the midst of an addiction. It feels like there is no way out, and that it’s not even worth trying to fight it. The stats don’t help. It is said that 100,000 people have died of drug overdoses last year in America. Addiction of all kinds are leaving people stuck in bondage with no sense of hope. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Student and Young Adults pastor of Village Church, Colin Lancelot, where they do a deep dive into the topic of addiction. You’ll be blessed to hear of God’s amazing grace in Colin’s life stepping away from a l...
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...
Our minds are factories of thoughts - some intentional, some not. Sometimes these thoughts are born of morbid curiosity, and other times these thoughts arise from our sinful hearts. Where do these thoughts come from? How do we deal with such thoughts? What about negative self-talk? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with pastor and author John Beeson where they discuss the root of these thoughts and practical tools to help navigate them when they spontaneously show up in your thought life!

You will be so inspired to live out your faith for Christ by these stories!
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. The importance of saving, the dangers of debt, and the temptation to worship it rather than use it for the glory of God. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author, investor and entrepreneur David Ash where they unpack 6 key principles for financial freedom. It is important t...
