    Can We Trust the New Testament? | Grey Matter with Dr. Ben Shaw

    Did Jesus Christ really rise from the dead—and can the New Testament be trusted as a reliable historical source? In this episode of Grey Matter, Leighton Grey welcomes theologian, author and Core Apologetics president Dr. Ben Shaw for a compelling conversation about evidence, doubt, discipleship and the historical foundation of Christianity. After arriving at Liberty University to play hockey, Ben encountered the work of renowned Resurrection scholar Dr. Gary Habermas. He eventually became Habermas’s research assistant, working alongside him for more than a decade while studying the historical evidence surrounding Jesus and the Resurrection. Ben explains the “minimal facts” approach, which begins with facts supported by multiple lines of historical evidence and accepted across a broad spectrum of scholars. These include Jesus’s death, the disciples’ belief that they encountered the risen Christ, the early proclamation of the Resurrection and the transformations of James and Paul. The conversation also examines: • Why factual, emotional and volitional doubts require different responses • The early Christian creeds preserved in the New Testament • Why scholars recognize the Gospels as ancient biographies • Archaeology, authorship and non-Christian sources • How apologetics strengthens everyday Christian living • Why churches must create space for honest questions • Gen Z’s openness to learning more about Jesus • The importance of living as a disciple in every profession Ben also introduces his book, Trustworthy: Thirteen Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament, and explains how Core Apologetics is making rigorous theological education accessible to ordinary Christians, families and churches. Christianity does not ask believers to abandon reason. Its central claim is rooted in history: Jesus died, was buried and rose again. Watch now and examine the evidence for yourself.

    Defender of the Faith: What Happens When Our King No Longer Serves the King of Kings? | Grey Matter

    Can a monarch protect every faith without ceasing to defend the Faith? In this Grey Matter commentary, Leighton Grey examines the growing tension between King Charles III’s constitutional Christian office and his public embrace of religious pluralism. The King bears the historic title Defender of the Faith and serves as Supreme Governor of the Church of England. At his coronation, he swore to uphold the established Protestant faith. Yet his interfaith language, longstanding engagement with Islam and vision of Britain as a “community of communities” raise a deeper question: has religious tolerance gradually become theological relativism? Leighton explores the meaning of Christian kingship, the spiritual responsibilities of the Crown and what happens when a sacred office becomes detached from the convictions that gave it meaning. The commentary also examines Charles’s Terra Carta and Astra Carta initiatives, the growing influence of environmental and global investment priorities within religious institutions, and the Church of England’s movement from biblical doctrine toward political activism. Leighton then considers the General Synod, Archbishop Sarah Mullally, the Church’s treatment of Israel and Zionism, and whether ideological causes are displacing the proclamation of Christ, personal repentance and the formation of faithful disciples. This is not an argument against freedom of conscience or the civil rights of people belonging to other religions. It is a challenge to a Christian institution: can it surrender its claim to theological truth and still remain meaningfully Christian? Britain does not need a monarch who merely reflects its spiritual confusion. It needs one who remembers what the Crown was established to defend.

    AI, Prophecy and the Coming Tsunami | Grey Matter with Guy Morris

    Is artificial intelligence simply another technological revolution—or a transformational wave for which humanity is dangerously unprepared? In this episode of Grey Matter, Leighton Grey speaks with award-winning author, former Fortune 100 executive and AI researcher Guy Morris about his new nonfiction book, *The AI Tsunami: A Survival Guide for Humanity*. Drawing upon a four-decade career that included work with IBM, Oracle, Microsoft and Oxy Petroleum, Guy brings together technological experience, economic analysis, Christian faith and years of research into artificial intelligence. The conversation explores the opportunities and dangers AI presents for individuals, businesses and governments. What happens to employment, privacy, crime, human relationships and political accountability when increasingly powerful systems become embedded throughout society? Leighton and Guy also examine the moral problem of AI-generated art. Can a machine imitate the work of deceased musicians and painters without possessing the inspiration, experience or spirit that made their work human? Is artificial intelligence truly creative—or merely producing increasingly convincing impressions of creativity? The discussion then turns toward biblical prophecy and Guy’s attempt to apply statistical analysis to prophetic patterns, global systems and modern technological developments. They consider the relationship between AI, power, belief and the timeless teachings of Jesus. Guy also shares the extraordinary experiences behind his fiction, including the real-world technological inspiration for SLVIA, the rogue AI appearing throughout *The SNO Chronicles*. His thrillers *Swarm*, *The Last Ark* and *The Image* combine artificial intelligence, geopolitical intrigue, ancient mysteries and Christian prophecy. The AI wave is already rising. The important question is whether humanity will understand it before it reaches the shore. Learn more about Guy Morris and his books: https://www.guymorrisbooks.com/

    Where Do We Go Next? Alberta, Independence & Discipleship | Grey Matter with Leighton Grey

    Political independence can change borders, governments and constitutions. But can it change the human heart? In this special Grey Matter guest commentary, Leighton Grey presents a message written by Pastor Allan Hunsperger, cohost of Talk Truth, entitled “Where Do We Go Next?” In the aftermath of a major Alberta vote and amid continuing debate over the province’s future, Allan asks a deeper question: Are Albertans becoming the kind of people capable of carrying freedom faithfully? A new government cannot perform the spiritual work of repentance. Political reform cannot replace discipleship, restore broken families or produce the moral character necessary to sustain a free society. Drawing upon the Great Commission and the often-quoted promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14, this commentary examines what it truly means for God’s people to humble themselves, pray, seek His face and turn from their own sins. That work begins close to home: telling the truth, honouring marriage, forgiving others, accepting correction, caring for neighbours and obeying Christ when obedience is costly. The rule of law requires more than better leaders. It requires citizens who believe rulers and citizens alike are accountable to a standard above political power. A healthy society must protect human dignity, administer justice impartially and respect even those who do not share the Christian faith. Alberta’s future will not be determined only by who holds office or what constitutional arrangement eventually emerges. It will also be shaped in churches, households and relationships by people willing to pursue truth, repentance and faithful discipleship. Written by Pastor Allan Hunsperger, cohost of Talk Truth, and presented by Leighton Grey on Grey Matter.

    The Globalist Zeitgeist: Freemasons and the City of London | Grey Matter with Leighton Grey

    Did modern globalism begin long before organizations such as the United Nations, the World Economic Forum or the European Union? In this Grey Matter commentary, Leighton Grey investigates the historical relationship between Freemasonry, the City of London and the financial networks that helped shape the modern international order. Beginning with England’s medieval guilds and London’s powerful livery companies, Leighton traces the growth of merchant influence through the reign of Elizabeth I, the Glorious Revolution, the creation of the Bank of England and the emergence of organized speculative Freemasonry. He examines the roles attributed to figures such as Francis Bacon and Elias Ashmole, the rapid international expansion of Masonic lodges and the relationship between Enlightenment ideals, representative government and concentrated financial power. Can an organization promote liberty, tolerance and constitutional government while also providing private networks through which influential people advance shared interests? Were these developments independent historical forces, or parts of a deeper transformation in how Western societies were governed?

    The City of London and the Hidden Architecture of Global Power | Grey Matter with Leighton Grey

    What if one of the most influential cities in the world is hidden inside another city? In this Grey Matter commentary, Leighton Grey examines the City of London—the ancient “Square Mile” that operates with its own local government, police force, electoral system, private funds and parliamentary representative. Leighton traces its history from medieval charters and Magna Carta to the rise of international banking, commodity exchanges, maritime insurance and modern global finance. He examines the City’s business vote, its centuries-old private wealth and the office of the Remembrancer, which continues to scrutinize legislation affecting the Corporation’s interests. But the discussion does not end with Britain. Leighton advances a provocative theory about the City’s influence upon the wider global order and asks how financial power, debt and international institutions may affect Canadian sovereignty. He connects these questions to Mark Carney, Canada’s deteriorating relationship with the United States, renewed military dialogue with China and proposals for a closer alliance with the European Union. Is Donald Trump attempting to dismantle an old financial order—or merely fighting to control it? Is Canada an independent country making its own choices, or has its future become caught between competing international power blocs? This is the first instalment of a larger investigation into the City of London, globalism and the spiritual forces Leighton believes are shaping the struggle for national sovereignty. This episode presents political and historical commentary. Viewers are encouraged to examine the primary sources and distinguish documented institutions from contested interpretations of their influence.

    What Should an Independent Alberta Be Built On? | Grey Matter with Grant Abraham

    What should an independent Alberta be built upon? After his widely watched debate with Bruce Pardy attracted nearly 50,000 views on YouTube, lawyer, author and Reforge Party leader Grant Abraham returns to Grey Matter to revisit the questions they left unresolved. Grant and Bruce agreed that Canada’s political system is failing, but differed sharply over what should replace it. Is limited government enough to preserve a free society? Or must liberty rest upon a deeper moral foundation grounded in the supremacy of God and the rule of law? In this conversation, Leighton Grey and Grant examine the “DNA” of a potential new Alberta nation. They discuss the source of individual rights, the myth that secular government is morally neutral, the relationship between liberty and personal responsibility and why a society that cannot govern itself internally will eventually be governed by an expanding state. Grant also outlines his understanding of servant leadership and explains what he believes Alberta’s next premier must be prepared to confront. The conversation turns to federalism, Western alienation, Alberta’s relationship with Ottawa and the October 19 referendum—including the option asking whether Alberta should begin the legal process leading toward a future binding vote on separation. Could an independent Alberta become the beginning of a renewed Canada? Or would a nation without a shared moral foundation repeat the failures of the system it escaped?

    The End of Liberalism and the Rise of Christian Nationalism | Grey Matter with Leighton Grey

    Is Western liberalism approaching its end—and if so, what will replace it? In this Grey Matter commentary, Leighton Grey examines the liberal consensus that emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the political, cultural and social consequences he believes followed. Leighton argues that mass immigration, multiculturalism, censorship, declining national sovereignty and the refusal of political elites to acknowledge public opposition have steadily eroded liberalism’s legitimacy. From Brexit and Donald Trump’s electoral victories to growing discontent across Canada and Europe, voters are increasingly rebelling against institutions that appear unwilling to listen. But the collapse of liberalism creates a more difficult question: what comes next? Leighton considers the growing debate surrounding Christian nationalism and draws upon David Haskell’s book Christ or Collapse to examine whether Christian norms and convictions must once again shape Western public life. However, this is not an argument that Christians can renew Canada simply by capturing political institutions or imposing a Christian appearance from above. Governments can restrain wrongdoing and administer justice, but they cannot produce repentance, faith or spiritual regeneration. A genuinely Christian Canada must begin with Christian people: individuals converted to Christ, discipled according to Scripture, gathered into faithful churches and carrying their convictions into their households, vocations, communities and public institutions. The state is the fruit, not the root. Political victories matter. Just laws matter. Righteous rulers matter. But none can accomplish what Christ entrusted to His church through the Gospel and the making of disciples.
