In each episode on the Apologetics Canada Podcast, the Apologetics Canada team casually discusses apologetics-related issues like theology, philosophy, current events, media, among other things.
Is Christian history the deepest explanation of the modern world? Today in the west, many consider the church to be dead or dying. Christianity is seen as outdated, bigoted and responsible for many of society’s problems. This leaves many believers embarrassed about their faith and many outsiders wary of religion. But what if the Christian message is not the enemy of our modern Western values, but the very thing that makes sense of them? In this episode Glen Scrivener engages in a conversation with Wesley Huff live at the AC Conference: "Can I Trust the Bible?" in Burlington Ontario. Glen shares how the story of how the teachings of Jesus not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think of life, worth, and meaning. Far from being a relic from the past, the distinctive ideas of Christianity, such as freedom, kindness, progress and equality, are a crucial part of the air that we breathe.

The now-famous Canadian Psychologist Jordan Peterson recently released a discussion he had with prominent atheist Richard Dawkins (moderated by YouTuber Alex O'Connor - aka Cosmic Skeptic). Titled "Memes and Archetypes: Dawkins vs. Peterson," a prominent portion of the discussion focused around whether Peterson actually believes supernatural events like the virgin birth and resurrection actually took place. Andy, Steve, and Wes sat down for this week's podcast to comment on their conversation, specifically addressing the question: does it matter if we actually believe these biblical events happened if their archetypal significance reigns supreme?

"Lights, camera, action—cue the egregious blood splatter!" Increasingly, films rely heavily on shockingly, and often grotesque, depictions of violence—ranging from mutilations to various forms of assault. What is equally shocking is how some Hollywood actors and filmmakers, who portray these graphic scenes, can be so hypocritical when they condemn real-world violence. On this week's episode, Troy and Andy are joined by filmmaker Sam McLoughlin, a friend of AC, to discuss the entertainment of violence and what it says about us.

You may have heard the gospel many times but can you put the good news of Jesus into your own words? How do you personally explain what salvation is? Some people are intimidated to share the gospel in fear that there's a right or wrong way. Yes, there is wrong doctrine but is there a right way to share the gospel? In the New Testament, the gospel is explained in many different ways. Jesus had a simple yet profound way of teaching what he offered. This week on the AC Podcast, "The Quad" discusses New Testament approaches and their own personal way of sharing the gospel.
