When the Church Breaks Your Heart

If you’ve been a part of a church community for any length of time, you’ve likely experienced moments of hurt, disappointment, or even betrayal.

What would it take for us to go from, the Church breaking our hearts, to our hearts breaking for the Church? Join us on this week’s episode as we explore the power of empathy, forgiveness, and restoration within the body of Christ.

Reacting to Mark Driscoll: How to Blow Up a Conference

In the realm of Christian figures, few have stirred as much controversy in recent years as Mark Driscoll. Amid the echoes of the podcast “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill,” the rock-and-roll preacher once again finds himself at the epicenter of Christian discourse. Recently, as a guest speaker at one of the nation’s largest Christian men’s conferences, Driscoll sparked uproar by beginning his talk with a rebuke for opening the men’s conference with a chest baring, male acrobat. This public disagreement led to a remarkable moment as Driscoll was escorted off stage by the event’s host pastor, John Lindell. The fallout has left the Christian community divided, with opinions split on whether Driscoll or Pastor Lindell handled this correctly. Join us in this week’s episode as Troy, Andy, and Wes delve into their perspectives on the incident.

Richard Dawkins Converts to Cultural Christianity?

Once known as the leading figure of the Four Horsemen of New Atheism, Richard Dawkins made a name for himself for his vitriol against religion in general and Christianity in particular. So, then, it surprised many people to hear him self-identify as a cultural Christian. While he rejects the truth claims of Christianity, he still seems to see value in the impact of Christianity, at least in comparison to some other worldviews. Is this new from Dawkins? What should we make of the comment itself? Steve and Wes sat down to discuss them in this week’s edition of the AC Podcast.

Jesus is Coming, Look Busy? A Theology of Rest

Rest: an event that often eludes the entrepreneur, parents, and ministry leaders, among many others. As we observe the remainder of the Holy Week on Good Friday and Easter, a person should naturally be reflecting on the finished work of the cross. However, the scriptures outline that there is still much work to be done for the sake of the gospel, while also instructing us to find rest in God. So what is the true sabbath, and how should it be observed? Join Troy and Steve on this week’s episode of the AC Podcast to hear their thoughts.

Divinity of Jesus? Prove It. Part 2

Didn’t Jesus say that the Father is greater than he is? Didn’t he call the Father his God? Isn’t he called the “firstborn” of God’s creation? One of the core teachings of Christianity is the claim that Jesus is God. Yet, some verses seem to contradict this very claim. Andy, Steve, and Wes continue their discussion on the deity of Jesus this week by addressing some verses commonly brought up by those who reject this essential teaching of Christianity.
