This week on the AC podcast Ben sits down with apologist and theologian, Dr. Michael Horton. They unpack the growing trend of people embracing “spirituality” while rejecting organized religion. Today, many Christians even dabble in astrology, reincarnation, or just get drawn toward New Age practices. How can the church respond in truth and grace?Join us for a theological deep dive into how New Age philosophy has seeped into Christian thinking, and how followers of Jesus can engage a culture hungry for meaning but hesitant about the Gospel.

Why Should I Honour my Parents?
At first glance, the command to "honour your father and mother" seems simple—something we associate with childhood obedience and following the rules. But is that all it means?In this episode, we explore the deeper implications of this biblical command through the lens of apologetics. What does it mean to honour our parents as we grow into adulthood? How do we reconcile this command with moments like Jesus’ interaction with Mary in the temple—or again at the wedding in Cana? Was His honour expressed through obedience, or was it something richer and more complex?Join us as we unpack the layers of this commandment, moving beyond mere compliance to discover a fuller picture of love, respect, and honour that endures across all seasons of life.

There's a Right Way to Grieve
If there’s one thing we all share, it’s the reality that one day we’ll say goodbye to someone we love. Loss touches each of us in some form—but how do we walk through it? Grief often leaves us at our most vulnerable, flooded with emotion. Even the most emotionally grounded individuals can find themselves reacting in ways that feel out of character—pushing people away or retreating into isolation.But what if there’s a better way? What if the gospel offers a more communal, redemptive path through grief?Join us for this week’s episode as we explore how faith can shape our experience of loss, and what it means to grieve together rather than alone.
The Apologetics Canada Podcast helps churches understand and speak the language of our culture and address questions being asked with intellectual honesty, gentleness and respect.
