Is AI making us dumber—or actually making us more capable? In this episode, Josh Daws examines two competing narratives about artificial intelligence.

Matt Plett examines one of the most misunderstood aspects of biblical prophecy: literalism.

In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing tackles one of Jesus’ hardest commands in Matthew 5:44 and addresses a tension many Christians feel today: how do you stand firm in sound doctrine while still loving those who oppose you? Drawing from passages like Romans 12, 2 Timothy 2, and 1 Corinthians 13, this episode...

Did Matthew 24 already happen? And if so, what does that mean for Revelation?

We explore how modern globalism and individualism have distorted Christian love—and how Scripture teaches a hierarchy of love: God, the Church, neighbor, nation, and the nations. What does the Bible actually say about lovin...

War in the Middle East has many Christians asking if we are living in the end times. In this episode of The Worldview, Alex Kocman explains why current events are often a poor guide for interpreting biblical eschatology and how the Christian idea of ordered loves should shape our response to global conflict.

Recently, during a widely viewed conversation between Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee, a striking claim was made — that Israel holds a biblical right to take over much of the Middle East. But, does Scripture actually teach this? In this episode, we carefully examine the biblical texts often invoked in these discussions, the theological assumptions behind modern Christian Zionism, and how believer...

Who determines what is right and wrong? Modern culture speaks constantly about rights, justice, equality, and human dignity — but rarely asks the prior question: By what authority? In this episode of The World View, we examine three revealing tensions shaping the modern world: • Are Christians actually disappearing from the Middle East — or are we misunderstanding the data? • What does Canada’s Me...

When was Revelation written? The answer isn't as obvious as we've been led to believe.
