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.read more ❯

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.

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.read more ❯
