We tackle questions...

We all have our hygiene habits—but does God actually care if you're clean-shaven, showered, or wearing fresh socks? This week in our series The Bible Doesn’t Say That, we’re tackling the popular phrase “Cleanliness is next to godliness” and exploring what Jesus really said about purity, holiness, and the human heart.

Can you be Chinese and Christian? How does our culture and ethnicity impact our faith? Is Christianity just for the West? In this podcast we explore the challenges and blessings of living as kids of Chinese immigrants in the Canadian church. We dive into the roots of Christianity and bust the myth that following Jesus means giving up your culture and ethnicity. Jesse and Melissa share how their fa...

You’ve heard it said… but is money the root of all evil? This Sunday, we’ll bust one of the most misquoted verses in Scripture and explore what God actually says about money, contentment, and what it means to be truly rich. Bring your questions (and maybe your wallet). You might be surprised what’s under your seat.

Friendship, meaning and support are just a few of the gifts we get from volunteering. On this podcast we talk about how volunteers create safe spaces, extend hospitality, and make a lasting impact in people’s lives. Liz, Theo and Brigette share stories of finding a chosen family, wrestling with big questions, and discovering hope through volunteering. In honour of Volunteer Canada’s National Volun...

"God Helps Those Who Help Themselves.” It sounds biblical—but is it? Join us as we kick off our new series The Bible Doesn’t Say That by digging into one of the most quoted “verses” that isn’t actually in the Bible. We’ll explore what the Bible really says about help, grace, and what to do when you can’t help yourself.

Days of pain, days of doubt and days of joy. These are the moments that make up our lives, but they're also the moments that marked a long weekend 2,000 years ago that changed the world. Rob dives deep into the Fridays of pain, the Saturdays of doubt and uncovers how to get to the Sundays of joy. He shares some practical tips and spiritual wisdom to get us through our dark days and to live into th...

What really happened at the resurrection—and why does it still matter today? In this episode, Kylah and Bill talk with Justin, a professor of systematic theology, about the meaning of Jesus' resurrection and how it brings real hope and healing to our lives today. We explore big questions about faith, suffering, and what it means to say that Jesus rose from the dead. From the incarnation to the cru...

Feasting, Eating Competitions, Diet Trends, Cooking Shows, and Elaborate Snacks. It’s hard to escape the cultural conversation around food. In this podcast we talk about the importance of food for our bodies, our communities and our souls. We discuss the ways that modern western culture encourages overconsumption and food waste, diet culture and how we can counteract the unhealthy food patterns wi...

In the show Severance, lives are split in two. On Good Friday, we remember the One who was truly severed—cut off, cast out, and forsaken—so that we, fractured by fear and divided by sin, could be made whole. Join us as we reflect on the cross, the cost, and the healing it brings.

What if your stomach and your heart were more connected than you think? It might not show up on an MRI, but deep inside each of us is a mysterious link between our appetites and our affections, our stomachs and our hearts. On Maundy Thursday, we explore the final deadly sin—gluttony—not just as overeating, but as a disordered love that tries to satisfy spiritual hunger with physical food. And we d...

Anger can be so destructive, but it can also be the driving force for change. In this podcast we talk about when it’s okay to be angry, when anger is good, and when we need to cool off. We discuss what anger really is and compare it to words like wrath, contempt, passion, and rage. We also explore anger online, the connections between anger and abuse, and the spiritual tools that can help us break...

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey… and flipped tables in the temple the next day! Was He gentle or angry? What about us? Is there ever a place for anger in our lives? Join us as we explore the difference between righteous anger and sinful wrath — and discover a third way that just might save us all.

We don’t like to talk about lust, but not talking about is letting shame and misinformation grow. So, join us for a conversation that tries to bring it out in the open: exposing the truth about lust, the problems with a culture that sells sex, and the ways to encourage healthy and fulfilling sexuality. We talk about the ways that lust destroys our relationships and humanity and the way that purity...

Is it getting hot in here? This Sunday we’re diving into one of the most awkward—and oddly relevant—topics in our S Word series: lust. We promise it won’t be weird (okay, maybe a little). But it will be honest, biblical, and surprisingly hopeful. What does lust really look like? Why does it leave us feeling empty? And what does Jesus offer to those of us who’ve struggled—or been hurt—by it?

Money makes the world go round. But it also fuels cycles of overconsumption, environmental destruction, and depression. In this podcast we talk about the problem with greed, how to know when we have enough, and some tips to escape the endless shopping cycle. We discuss mindset shifts, questions to ask before making a purchase, and how greed isn’t just a problem for the rich. We also touch on the i...

They say “Greed makes the world go ‘round”—but at what cost? It’s so common we hardly notice it, yet it quietly shapes how we live, spend, and see others. This Sunday, we’re pulling back the curtain on greed: exposing its grip, examining its effects, and listening to what Jesus has to say about the one sin that no one thinks they have.

We’re all so busy, and yet some days it feels like we got nothing done, like nothing we do even matters anyway. In this podcast we use the framework of “sloth” as a way to understand what matters, we ask questions like “why are we so busy?”, “why isn’t social media making me feel fulfilled?”, and “what creates burnout?”. We talk honestly about what to do when it feels like nothing matters and how...

When we hear the word sloth, we think of slow-moving animals or binge-watching Netflix—hardly the stuff of deadly sins. But what if we’ve misunderstood it? Sloth isn’t just laziness—it’s indifference. It’s the countless distractions that fill our time with trivial things while ignoring what’s really important. It’s the quiet voice that whispers, “Nothing really matters.” Work doesn’t matter. Life...

What is envy? How is envy different from jealousy? And why does it even matter? These are some of the questions we wrestle with this week. We also talk about the influence of social media on our desires, the problem with consumer culture, and the importance of checking ourselves regularly. Although envy is something we all struggle with, there is a way forward through gratitude, compassion and hum...

"As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man." These ancient words by John Chrysostom are still true today. Envy is a joy thief—it fuels comparison, conflict, and discontent. Is there a better way? Today we'll see how godly wisdom, gratitude, and a heart at peace can help us break free from the green-eyed monster.

If you’ve been around Christians much you’ve probably heard the word “sin”, but has anybody ever explained what that actually means? As we enter this season of Lent (another Christian word that isn’t always explained), Bill, Kylah and Johanna take some time to wrestle with what sin actually is, how it works in our lives, and all of its messy complications and contradictions. Tune in for a conversa...

Pride—it’s sneaky, seductive, and at the root of every other sin. It puffs us up, blinds us to our need for grace, and, as Jesus warns us, it leads to a hard fall.

Is God still working today? What if the stories of the Bible aren’t literally true? What’s the relationship between faith and logic? These are just some of the big questions that we wrestle with in this week’s podcast. Join Kylah, Jordana and Rob as they explore the stories of heroes of faith in Scripture and what those stories reveal about their own journeys. From questioning blind faith to wrest...
