Is This Thing On?: Prayer and the Practice of Communing with God

Our Father, who art in Heaven, are these prayers worth my time? This week on the AC Podcast, we delve into the practice and privilege of communing with God through prayer. This episode is inspired by a listener’s email asking: “Do our prayers affect things? Should we pray for specific outcomes? Does praying for someone’s healing make a difference? If prayer influences events, what are the qualifiers? If God answers ‘small’ prayers, shouldn’t He also answer the ‘big’ ones?”

This week on our podcast, join Troy, Steve, and special guest Max Chadwick, AC’s talented filmmaker, as they delve into the art of navigating opportunity, voice, and platform with the gentleness and timing exemplified by Jesus.

So what is the true sabbath, and how should it be observed? Join Troy and Steve on this week’s episode of the AC Podcast to hear their thoughts.

The Miracle of Birth

Christmas is just around the corner. ’Tis the time of the year when we take the time to reflect on God coming in the flesh. Our thinking often starts with the typical nativity scene, with Baby Jesus already lying in the manger in swaddling clothes. We rarely think about the pregnancy and the actual birthing process. Since we believe that Jesus is truly human as well as truly God, reflecting on the miracle of the human birth will help us appreciate the miracle of the divine birth. Troy and Steve sat down with our friend, Dr. Raphael Samuel, to delve into Part One of a two-part series titled “The Miracle of Birth.

Welcome to the Wilderness: Discussing Troy’s New Album “Scribe & the Wildlings”

The books of the bible that highlight the journey through the wilderness for the Israelites and Jesus have enough drama in them to make a movie.

On this week’s episode Steve chats with AC’s own Troy aka Scribe Music about his new album, Scribe & the Wildlings and how the contrast of Jesus and the Israelites time in the wilderness directly influenced his new project.
