    Ep 10 - Charisma 101: Talking To People Is Actually Easy

    You can't get away from talking to people. Especially as Christians. One of the most important calls for believers is to share their faith and to spread the gospel. This call doesn't mean talking is easy. In this episode, Hogan, Schubert, and guest student Judah discuss charisma and whether it is a gift or a learned skill. As this episode gets released, Schubert, a co-host and producer of the podcast, is fundraising to do high school ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Edmonton. The goal is to raise enough to increase his weekly hours from 10 hours to 20 hours by the end of October.

    Ep 9 - SEASON 2 PREMIER - Values to fight for in the era of AI

    AI is everywhere. Do we embrace it? Do we refuse to use it? Those are common questions that people often discuss when surveying the AI landscape. Today's discussion will include that and more. What does the Bible say about AI? What are the spiritual implications of offloading your work to something else? Which does God prefer: work that is done manually or work that is done efficiently? Join Schubert, Hogan, and Sam, today's guest student from NAIT, to talk about their perspectives on work, the effect of AI on students' lives, and the redemptive work that God does with technology. As this episode gets released, Schubert, a co-host and producer of the podcast, is fundraising to do high school ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Edmonton.

    Ep 8 - NEW YEAR'S SPECIAL - Hobbies and Rest are NOT Sins

    Hobbies and rest are NOT sins. It's obvious, but Christians can often feel guilt when they aren't working. It is easy to believe that following God is to sacrifice fun. But there is more to faithfulness than efficiency and productivity. Listen in to Hogan and Rebecca's conversation as they unpack what it means to prioritize non-work activities as citizens of the Kingdom of God.

    Ep 7 - CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - Earthly vs Heavenly Homes and Family

    It can be hard to pinpoint what a home is. Is it a house? Is a place where we feel settled? Perhaps it is family. But what about when family dynamics are complicated? Home can be hard to define because nothing we find on Earth can truly be our home. As Christians, we look forward to the establishment of the New Heaven and the New Earth, but still need to figure out how what it means to live in our temporary homes. Join Hogan and Rebecca as they dive into these questions.   To support the ministries that Hogan and Rebecca are a part of, go to ivcf.ca/donate and donate to "Alberta Conference and Events."

    Ep 5 - Identifying Your Identity

    Identity is a hot topic in evangelical churches—and for good reason. Everything we do and believe stems from our identities. It is also an increasingly debated topic. Who decides who you are? Is your identity found within you or external to you? Is it based on what you do? Join Hogan, Rebecca, and Schubert as they talk about these questions and how they have discovered what it means to lean into one’s identity in Christ.
