In today’s world, loving your neighbour seems impossible since no one can actually afford a home. What does it mean to love our neighbours well? Does it go beyond the person next door? What does it look like to be hospitable and create a welcoming environment when we live in a tiny dorm room? Join host Andrew Marcus with Liberty University student Santiago Frank as they discuss the reality that loving our neighbours and being hospitable have nothing to do with owning a home or having a place to welcome people in as they walk through his latest article on The Gospal Coalition called, “Young ...
Ok, so what is transhumanism? I mean every time we type it out we see the red squiggly lines underneath the word like we’ve made a typo. Well, transhumanism is a real thing, and its ideology is growing fast. Artificial Intelligence? ChatGPT? Brain chips? Gene modification? Are these things actually happening? This is not a science fiction book. It’s only a matter of time before those red squiggly lines will be removed from the term and it will be the new normal. But what is transhumanism? Is there a danger for believers to engage with it? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with ...
Cancel Culture is all the rage these days. And we don’t use the term rage lightly. People have lost the sense of patience and grace with one another. It’s evident that if you say something against culture, you will immediately be excommunicated. The Bible talks about something similar as believers are called to avoid certain people. Join host Andrew Marcus as he connects with David Schuman, pastor at Exilic Church in Manhattan as they unpack the reality that 2023 will be a challenging year for believers, and how believers are called to stand firm on the truth and possibly avoid certain peop...
If you haven’t heard of the food pyramid, google it. In essence, it is a diagram that helps identify the healthy foods we should be eating and the unhealthy foods that we should be eating in moderation. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Brett McCracken from The Gospel Coalition as they discuss his latest book The Wisdom Pyramid. No it’s not a pyramid scheme. Enjoy the interview as they discuss the dangers of the social media world and also some of it’s benefits as we try to tackle what a healthy spiritual diet looks like in today’s technologically advanced world where we are bo...
In today’s culture, many young people are terrified of commitment. Marriage is too overwhelming. And don’t even mention the idea of kids. Young married couples have many fears in the thought of having children. Aren’t they too expensive? What if we simply can’t afford it? What if I fail as a parent? The reality is, many of us have had challenging upbringings or genuine reasons to be concerned, but we believe God is bigger than your biggest fears. Join host Andrew Marcus with founders of The Union Movement Bryan and Bonnie Pue as they unpack all things marriage and children!
In the Western world, we celebrate Christmas far more than we celebrate Easter. Did you know that less than 5% of the Gospel accounts talk about the birth and 1/3 talks about Passion week? It seems like we’ve got it all backwards. Join host Andrew Marcus as he sits with Dr. John Neufeld from Back To The Bible Canada as they walk through all that took place during passion week and listen in as they unpack the dangers of western culture’s diminishing emphasis on the most life-changing moment that has ever taken place in history.
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 faith boldly and confidently!
LOL! In case you don’t know what that means, it stands for “Laugh Out Loud!” Join Andrew Marcus as he sits with Phil Callaway from Laugh Again to talk about the importance of laughter, and how true joy in Christ changes everything in your life! Just because Phil is a humorist doesn’t mean his life has always been easy. We sit with Phil and talk about some of the challenges he’s gone through and how having an attitude of gratitude is essential to getting through those challenges!
A big debate about the Bible is that it is just a story. That it is basically writings that only contain symbolism or allegorical writings. Were Adam and Eve real people? Or are they just a symbol of humanity? What about Noah and the ark? Did Jonah really live in the belly of a fish for three days before God made the fish puke him out? Don’t even get started on the book of Revelation!! Join Andrew Marcus with pastor Brent Smith from Riverside Calvary Chapel as they unpack how the Scriptures can be trusted as absolute truth.
Influential? Who? Me? Yes! Gen Z’s are on a mission for mentors and answers to life’s big questions. Guess who they are more likely going to turn to for it? YOU! No matter how old you are there is always someone younger that you can connect with on a deeper level. For their sake and yours! If you are a young adult, whether you like it or not, they are looking to you for wisdom, encouragement and someone to journey through life with. So to sum it all up: if you are a young adult, you are an influencer.
Have you heard of the hit series THE CHOSEN? Maybe you are one of the millions of people who have engaged with it. Maybe not. Either way, we dive into the show with the co-creator Amanda Jenkins to talk about how it was birthed from a really challenging season, how God used their brokenness to reveal His grace on their lives, and how it’s impacting viewers around the world. But is it biblically accurate? Is it something that substitutes our daily Bible reading? We dive in to all that and more!
Many people have become too comfortable with their new reality of church: alone in the comfort of their own home, wearing their PJ’s with a stack of pancakes and a fresh coffee. The question is: is that actually church? Join our host Andrew Marcus as he spends some time with Kamloops Alliance Church’s lead pastor Chris Throness as they unpack what biblical community ought to look like. Spoiler alert: neither online church nor the heavy emphasis on our Sunday morning experience might be the right answer.
Happy 11th birthday to INDOUBT! Although THE INDOUBT SHOW is new, we’ve had an incredible history of resourcing young people over the past 11 years. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with the founder of INDOUBT Mike Cumiskey, as well as other hosts in the past including Isaac Dagneau, Ryan McCurdy and Daniel Markin as they talk about what’s new in their lives, their passion for INDOUBT, and how important it is for us to be grounded on truth!
If you haven’t been aware of this reality, it might be shocking. People are leaving the Church and their faith altogether at an alarming rate. Why is it happening and what can we do to not be a part of the statistic? It’s been said that, “what you win them with is what you win them to.” Dr. John Neufeld from Back to the Bible Canada joins host Andrew Marcus to talk about the greatest reset that needs to take place in the Church. Now more than ever, we need to be grounded on absolute truth found only in the Word of God.
Join Isaac and pastor, author, and podcaster Tim Elmore as they sit down and talk about doubt. Often, we see doubt, especially in regard to faith, as a bad thing. But Tim and Isaac discuss why doubt isn’t always bad, and can actually be a healthy thing! When we go through periods of doubt in our faith in God, is that just highlighting our lack of faith? This is a great conversation that is beneficial to any follower of Christ- whether you’ve been a Christian for 50 years or 5 days- doubt always seems to creep into our lives- so how do we manage it?
Why is it that so many people today get offended easily, even going out of their way to find something to be offended about? At times, it feels like you can’t share even the mildest opinion for fear that someone around you will get upset. This week, Isaac is going to be speaking with pastor and author Scott Sauls about just that, the prevalence of outrage culture in our society today. Whether it was a tweet or Facebook post from 10 seconds or 10 years ago, we as a society seem to take pleasure in tearing down anyone who says anything we disagree with, even if that means taking things out of...
Singleness is a calling. Singleness is a gift. But how often do we actually think of it like that and not the opposite? Jon Tyson joins us this week on indoubt to break down the stigma surrounding singleness in today’s culture. Looking at the different examples of singleness and marriage in our culture, in our churches, and in our own lives, Jon and Daniel talk through some of the ideas surrounding our relationship statuses and discuss how we can embrace our season of singleness, or the single people around us. Jon offers a healthy, biblical perspective on your season of singleness, and how...
Canada’s political culture seems to be changing. Where it was once a place where all could freely express their faith, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to do so. What has changed about Canada’s political culture that is making it difficult for people of faith? This week we are joined by Bruce Clemenger, author and president of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, to walk us through his new book, The New Orthodoxy: Canada’s Emerging Civil Religion. Bruce gives us a brief overview of the history of Canada’s statecraft, and also expands upon the biases in our current government that ...
It’s not just unbelievers and agnostics who have questions about Christianity. Even those of us who have been believers for years may find ourselves pondering and reflecting on the core elements of Christianity. This week we’re joined by a guest who is no stranger to the podcast, Andy Steiger, President and Founder of Apologetics Canada, to walk us through an open forum he recently held entitled Questioning Christianity.

For most of us, the Christmas season brings about stress, comparison, and, generally, a lack of time and/or money. But is that how we should be approaching it? Should we really be experiencing Christmas this way? On this week’s episode of indoubt, Alexandra Kuykendall joins us to discuss what it means to love Christmas in the context of our actual lives. So often we immediately expect to be stressed out during the holidays because that what we’ve learned to expect. But Isaac and Alexandra encourage us to step outside of our expectations and learn to love our Christmas season, no matter what...
Have you ever wondered why young adults are leaving the church in record numbers? On this episode of indoubt, join our host Isaac as he talks with researcher Rick Hiemstra to discuss this reality, and what we can do to prevent it. With so many young people abandoning their faith, it’s important to understand why it’s happening, and how to combat it, since, if we’re not careful, we will soon be in a world where Christianity is no longer relatable to a younger generation, and generations after us will miss out on hearing and experiencing the truth of Jesus in their lives.
The Bible is one of the most famous books in history. It has been translated into nearly every language in the world, placed in most countries, and most people have some understanding of what is written inside. But with the long history and widespread popularity of the Bible, we need to ask the question: can we actually trust the Bible? Join this week’s guest Wesley Huff as he breaks down what the Bible is, why we can trust it, and how unchanged it has remained since its creation thousands of years ago!

We have all struggled in the battle with sexual sin. We may find ourselves stuck in a vicious cycle between self-righteousness when we are managing our temptations well, and then shame when we are not. But how can we escape the grip of sexual sin? This week we are joined by Garrett Kell, pastor and author, to discuss his book Pure in Heart: Sexual Sin and the Promises of God. Garrett reminds us that sexual purity begins in the heart, when we orient our focus on seeking Jesus and desire to be like Him. He also encourages anyone who is struggling with temptations to lean into the grace of God...
Is it more important to be politically correct or to be biblically correct? As Christians, our answer should be simple/automatic but, in a culture that’s easily swayed, offended, or outraged, oftentimes, we get stuck too. On this week’s episode of indoubt, Mark Sayers joins Daniel to discuss what’s going on in our cultural moment. How do we balance what’s relevant with our faith and still remain faithful? What can we do to make a difference? Is there still hope for the future of Christianity, young adults and the local church? You’ll hear all those questions and more talked through on this ...
Yes, our lives are sacred. Yes, we should do our absolute best to preserve our life on earth. But what happens when medical technologies, or medicine, are simply prolonging death instead of preserving life? On this week’s episode of indoubt, we’re joined by author and trauma surgeon, Kathryn Butler, who shares her unique perspective on end-of-life medical care. Isaac and Kathryn discuss how easy it is to blur the lines between life and death with today’s technological advancements and the effects that has on each one of us. Talking through questions like: What is too much suffering? How doe...
It's easy for us living in North America to take for granted what a privilege it is to have the freedom to read our Bibles, attend church services, and practice our Christian beliefs. However, there are millions of Christians around the world who don’t have those rights, and even live under the constant threat of persecution. This week we are joined by Gary Stagg, Executive Director of Open Doors Canada. He walks us through the extent and severity of persecution that many Christians in other nations are facing, as well as the various ways in which Open Doors responds to those in need. Gary ...
Decoding the symbolism and imagery that make up the book of Revelation is challenging. What does it all mean? What is God telling us in this book? This week we are joined by Nancy Guthrie, author and Bible teacher, to discuss her book Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation. Nancy walks us through some of the common mistakes we tend to make when reading scripture, and the importance of understanding the Bible as a complete story. She also unveils the message we are to take away from the book of Revelation and emphasizes its importance and relevance to young adults today.
In the midst of ordinary people, places, sights, and sounds, how do you worship? Can we still worship in the everyday moments of life? On this week’s episode of indoubt, Ruth Chou Simons joins us to discuss the art of everyday worship. It’s so easy for us to take for granted the things that we see around us each day, but Ruth and Daniel encourage us to linger longer on the beauty that surrounds us. Whether you’re cooking, decorating your home, working, or creating, you can use those things to ultimately glorify God. The question is how will we direct our eyes, hearts, minds, and hands in th...
