Praying to a Higher Power?
Is Science encouraging people to pray? Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman recently opened up about God, faith, and prayer on The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett—and he’s not the only public figure doing so. Are skeptics genuinely rediscovering faith, or just finding another good way to reduce stress? This week, Wes, Ben, and Andy break down what’s encouraging in this conversation and discuss the dangers of turning prayer into deistic therapy. Are God and the universe interchangeable titles? What happens when we pray to a God who calms our nerves but never asks anything of us in return? Join us for the conversation on this response episode of the AC podcast.

Reclaiming Beauty and Reverence in Christian Art | with Joshua Leventhal
What happens when Scripture becomes more than something you study and becomes something you step into?Juno nominated artist Joshua Leventhal joins us to talk about the road from the flatlands to the stage, and how biblical studies, music, and growing up with a professional illusionist for a father shaped the way he sees truth and tells stories.At the heart of the conversation is Tapisieri, his ambitious three volume, 25 song project that journeys from Genesis to Revelation through intimate, first person perspectives. We unpack the process behind the project, the relationship between art and the Church, and Joshua’s hope that Tapisieri might become more than an album, serving as a discipleship tool that helps reignite wonder, imagination, and a love for Scripture.

Would Society Collapse Without Christianity?
Whether you like it or not, living alongside other people is inevitable. So, the question is, what’s the best way to do it? What values should shape our life together? Sociologist, David M. Haskell, unapologetically argues that it is the Christian norms and values that lead to the maximum freedom and flourishing of a society and that our governance should be based on them. This bold claim is highlighted in the title of his book—even bolder—Christ or Collapse. How does he sustain such a bold claim? Is there any empirical evidence to support that? Hasn’t Christianity done more harm than good? What about Japan which is not a Christian country? Shouldn’t governance be neutral in value? Does he want theocracy? Steve sat down with him in this week’s edition of the AC Podcast to delve into these questions and more.
