The AC Podcast

In this episode, Troy and Trystan journey into The Odyssey, exploring its timeless themes of longing, temptation, sacrifice, and the desire to find our way home. Through a Christian lens, they uncover surprising connections between Homer’s ancient story, our modern culture, and the biblical story of humanity’s deepest desires.
What do the things we long for reveal about us? What makes a sacrifice truly costly? And beneath all our wandering, are we ultimately searching for home?

What if the greatest thing holding back your ministry isn’t your gifting, but the parts of yourself you’ve never surrendered? Troy sits down with Pastor Terrance Richmond, Founding and Lead Pastor of Love Quest International Church, for a conversation on sonship, discipleship, and becoming fully alive in Christ. Together they challenge modern ideas of church growth and reveal why God’s priority has always been forming people, not filling buildings. From Oakland to church planting, Terrance shares how every part of your story, personality, and gifting can be used for God’s Kingdom when fully surrendered.

​Alpha has introduced millions of people to Jesus, but what can it teach us about sharing our faith today? In this episode, Nicky Gumbel reflects on his journey from atheist to Christian, the story behind Alpha’s global impact, and why people are still searching for love, purpose, and belonging. Together, Andy, Wes and Nicky explore how evangelism has changed in a post Christian culture and why genuine friendship, not pressure, remains the most powerful way to introduce people to Jesus.

In this episode of the AC Podcast, Ben continues our “Denominations in Conversation” series with pastor Tim Woodcock. Pastor Woodcock, the lead pastor of Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, shares insights into Pentecostalism’s history, beliefs, and practices. He addresses common misconceptions within the charismatic movement and explores the experience of spiritual gifts, such as speaking in tongues.

While filming the next episode of Can I Trust the Bible? at Yarnton Manor in Oxford, Ben sits down with Wes and Andy to explore the story of Bible translation and the men who risked their lives to make Scripture accessible to ordinary people.
Were pioneers like John Wycliffe (1328–1384) and William Tyndale (1494–1536) courageous heroes of the faith, or dangerous heretics who challenged the authority of the Church? Join us as we examine their lives, their legacy, and why the translation of the Bible remains one of the most controversial chapters in Christian history.
