Hand Out vs Hand Up: Processing Malawi’s Hungry Season
We've all heard the old proverb about giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish and its long-term effects. But we encountered another perspective during our time filming in Malawi.

This annual period of drought leads to widespread starvation across the country. Tune in as they share their insights and challenge Western notions of technology, resources, and stewardship.

The Rwandan Genocide
It's been 30 years since the Rwandan genocide, and like other tragedies, it continues to impact generations, as documented in films like Hotel Rwanda.

In this week's episode of the AC Podcast, Andy sits down with local pastor Jean Michel for an insightful conversation about the effects of evil and how the person of Jesus leads us to hope and reconciliation.

Biblical Contradictions Part 1
“The Bible is the word of God.” So say Christians. One implication of this is that the Bible cannot contradict itself. But what do we do with the differences between, say, the four Gospels? Why are Jesus’ genealogies different between Matthew and Luke? What were Jesus’ last words on the cross? Many skeptics quickly cry, “Contradiction!” Is that what we actually have? Wes and Steve sat down to hash out some alleged Bible contradictions in this two-part episode of the AC Podcast.

The Surprising Demise of Atheism
The Four Horsemen of the New Atheists: Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett, have faded from the cultural spotlight they once attracted. The New Atheists are now the Old Atheists. In fact, only two of the four are still alive. The questions they once raised still linger faintly but cultural conversations have shifted dramatically. Instead of asking, "Does God exist?" there are now an array of books and personalities asking and answering questions of sex, gender, and race, to name but a few. We have new questions and new influencers that now dominate the conversation in the academy and households. Yet, as it turns out, the Old Atheists are not as irrelevant as one might think. On the AC podcast this week Andy, Steve, and Wes discuss how this current cultural moment is, in part, a product of their making and what we can learn from it moving forward.
