Life is always moving quickly! As Christians, sometimes it’s important for us to take a moment, stop and remind ourselves of some basic definitions. We hear the terms missions, missionary and evangelism often in gospel conversations, but what do they mean and how do we live them out? Going on a missions trip could be somewhere far away in some remo…

The Book of Psalms is filled with amazing songs that teach us so much about who God is and what He has done for us!

There is a big distinction that we need to address in the area of kindness. Kindness is far more than being nice. Christians are called to show kindness in a world that often promotes meanness. But what is true kindness? How do we define it? What does it look like in everyday life? Join guest host Daniel Markin as he spends time with Nate Pickowicz…

Often times we hear people grumbling and complaining about immigration, how our country and the cities that make it up are becoming over populated and causing all sorts of headaches.

There are many people in today’s society and throughout history who believed that Jesus was a real person. They believe he was a good person, a teacher, and that he helped many people. But when it comes to the resurrection, this is where they begin to doubt. In a compelling episode on THE INDOUBT SHOW, host Andrew Marcus sits down with George Sincl…

Why did the angel of the Lord come down to kill Moses and how did Gershom's circumcision save his life? Why does God tell Balaam to go to Balak and then get angry at him for actually going? You may have experienced a time in your daily devotionals where you’ve come across strange passages like these that just don't make any sense to you. You read t…

If you don’t know this, there are no real references to people dating in the Bible. With that being said, there are many biblical principles we can apply to make sure we have a godly view of dating. But how do we put those into practice? Is there a certain age to start dating? How long is too long when dating someone? How do you know when you are r…

Have you heard the term “respectable sins?” You know, the little white lie, cheating on a test, gossiping about your friend at church. The sins we don’t take too seriously because they are “small” or “insignificant.” Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Author Jen Oshman where they discuss the concept of respectable sins and the importanc…

As artificial intelligence continues to develop, we continue to revisit the conversation to ensure we are one step ahead as believers. With Neurolink’s latest brain chip implanted in the first human, and Sweden’s micro chips becoming more and more popular, allowing people to purchase goods and unlock their car with their hands, how far is too far? …

You don’t have to look far to see that many people are struggling as we head into 2024.

Join INDOUBT’s host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Luke Friesen, …

Prayer is such a crucial part of a believer’s life. When we study the Word and hear testimonies from believers, it doesn’t take long to realize how foundational prayer ought to be in our lives. Often times prayer is a shopping list of all the things we want God to do for us. Is there a wrong way to pray? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time wi…

We’ve heard debates about whether it is biblical to have a large mega church or a small house church. Now more than ever we need to put our preferences aside and join together with doctrinally sound communities as one Church, cheering each other on rather than trying to compete for who’s the best or the biggest. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends…

Over the past few years we’ve been hearing people talk about their own personal truths. If their truths differ from another’s, well that’s okay, because everyone is allowed to have their own truth right? But this begs the question: if that’s the case, then what actually is truth? Can everything be true? Do all paths lead to truth? Join host Andrew …

Sexuality, identity and relationships are some major topics of discussion amongst many young adults. It is a growing concern to see what the world is saying yes and amen to.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s that time of year where we sit down, reflect on 2023 and start making some New Year’s resolutions for 2024! Let’s be honest with ourselves though. When is the last time you followed through on your resolutions? What does it look like to set Godly goals for yourself for 2024? How do we incorporate spiritual disciplines? How do w…

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Today looks a bit different! We are all at home with our families, friends and loved ones this Christmas celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus! So with that being said, we don’t have a full episode today! We pray you take this holiday season to rest, dwell, observe and intentionally slow down to make room for Christ this Christma…

The Advent calendar is more than just a chocolate countdown, but a beautiful opportunity to slowly reflect on the Christmas story. The Advent season is filled with such rich tradition that helps us remind ourselves the significance of the season. But what do the candles during Advent mean? Was Jesus really born in December? Join our friend and prev…

Christmas is far greater than the cultural celebration that we’ve made it throughout the years. It is a time for us to pause, slow down and intentionally rest in the promises and hope we have in Christ. When we do this, we are blessed! When we don’t take the time to reflect on the theological reality of the season, we truly miss the Good News! Join…

Every Christmas, we seem to revisit the conversation of how the season has become over commercialized. We are bombarded with ads to buy the next thing as we’ve failed to focus our attention on Christ. Well here’s the reality: God wired us to be people who consume. And if that is the case, not all consumption is bad. But like anything, boundaries ar…

You have heard people say before, “I am not into theology, I just love Jesus.” There is often this battle within us as we journey with Christ to see which is more important between theology and experience. The head and the heart. But should they be at war against each other? Or do they work together? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time Scott …

The New Testament is flooded with the language that once we confess our sins and declare that Jesus is Lord, we are now “in Christ.” What does it actually mean to be in Christ? This is an earth shattering reality that will change your life forever if you truly understand and live out this truth! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with lead p…

It is becoming increasingly popular to hear the word “bigot” in today’s culture, especially one who tries to live in a way that honours the Lord. The reality is, the more Christians stand on the truths of Scripture, the more we are going to look like we are coming against the ways of the world. How can Christians balance the need to address bigotry…

We often hear people use the term “karma.” The idea that good things happen when you do good, and bad things happen to you in response to your negative actions. Karma is very closely connected to Buddhism, but in the western world, we view karma (and Buddhism for that matter) with different lenses than those devoted to the religion in other parts o…

There has been a long history between Roman Catholics and Protestants when it comes to theology and interpreting the Scriptures. There are similarities between both Roman Catholics and Protestants, but here’s the question: Are there differences? And if there are differences, are they major or minor ones? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time wi…

Over the past decades, Christians have developed various approaches to counselling.

If you are a pastor, you probably have already fielded questions about the war between Israel and Hamas. Few of us our political experts. Yet Israel has a special place in our theological outlook of the world. And many Christians are asking questions about this conflict. How can we as pastors and Christian leaders talk about the war in wise and god…

We have heard it said before that Mormonism is a denomination within the Christian faith. Is this truly the reality? If so, why are they on a mission to convert other Christians? In our new series “World Religions Unraveled”, we do a deep dive into the history of Mormonism and study their core beliefs. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with…

Often times on our journeys, we get distracted by ditches that hinder us from living out a life of faith and obedience. Legalism and license are two of the easiest pitfalls that we are tempted to fall into as believers. What are these ditches and what can we do to avoid them? Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Pastor Lee Francois from C…

We’ve all been hearing about increasing rates of burnout amongst pastors, we’ve been hearing about high rates of anxiety and depression, and we’ve also been hearing about this “Great Resignation” – the data seems to indicate that it was and is worse in the States than hear, but it does seem to be happening here at some significant level, and then w…

The book of Proverbs is known to be filled with wisdom to help its readers engage with their culture, avoid pitfalls and traps from the enemy, and live in peace and godliness amongst one's community. Fun fact: Did you know that the book of Proverbs was mainly written for young people? If that is the case (which it is), then as a young adults' podca…

Raising kids can be a terrifying thought for some of us. Nothing worthwhile in life comes easy! It’s okay to be scared! The reality is, children are a blessing from God and bring so much joy to our homes. That being said, they are a huge responsibility.

We’ve often heard it said that it is important to be evenly yoked. That Christians should marry other Christians - but why? Is this a recommendation from worried parents, or a biblical mandate that we should follow? What about dating a non believer? What about living with your significant other before marriage? Join host Andrew Marcus as he connect…

It is very difficult to read through your Bible and not hold to the reality that God is meticulously sovereign over all things. When we truly grasp this truth, our lives are forever changed! We begin to see God in the big things as well as all the little details. Randomly bumping into someone at the mall ends up being clearly orchestrated by God an…

A lot of people today assume old things are unnecessary. Outdated technologies become obsolete, but the same is not true for church history! Some Christians only read the “New” Testament and say the “Old” Testament is irrelevant to them. This is false for so many reasons! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with author Simonetta Car and Emma …

“Deconstruction” is another buzz word that is becoming more and more popular amongst Christians. The reality is, this is not a new concept, it has been happening for a long time. Once we grow up, start living on our own, getting married and start making our own decisions, we begin to question all we’ve already based our lives on from our upbringing…

A.I. continues to take the world by storm. Chat GPT and other technologies continue to bring connectivity to our world and resources to help with our day to day lives.

Often times when we hear the word “persecution” we automatically think of places where Christians are being stoned, tortured, imprisoned and even put to death.

Alright so it’s summer. The sun’s out and it’s hot! The temptation to wear “breathable” clothes to stay cool continues to be on the forefront of all of our minds - so there’s no better time than now to unpack biblical modesty!

Yoga is a discipline that many have incorporated into their routines, focusing on its physical benefits while overlooking its spiritual risks.

The new age movement can sometimes look obvious, and sometimes it subtly creeps into our lives and church communities undetected.

There are many similarities betwe…

Manifesting is becoming a more and more popular spiritual practice that many people are dabbling with these days. The reality is, it’s unbiblical. We can’t manifest our lives. What is manifesting?

We don’t have to look far to realize that Christians today are exiles in a hostile culture. What’s right is declared wrong and what’s wrong is not only good, but celebrated and encouraged. Every day, we see opportunities to compromise and put the truths of Scripture aside. Whether it is earthly wealth and health, temptations to give in to sin, our …
