Guests
Pastor Mark Clark
Author | Founding Pastor - Village Church in Vancouver, Canada
Mark Clark is the founding pastor of Village Church in Vancouver, Canada, one of the fastest growing multi-site churches in North America. Mark combines frank and challenging biblical preaching with real-world application and apologetics to speak to both Christians and skeptics alike, confronting questions, doubts, and assumptions about Christianity. His sermons have millions of downloads per year from over 120 different countries.
The Problem of God: Answering a Skeptic’s Challenges to Christianity
The Problem of God is written by a skeptic who became a Christian and then a pastor, all while exploring answers to the most difficult questions raised against Christianity. Mark grew up in an atheistic home, and after his father's death, began a skeptical search for truth through exploring science, philosophy, and history, asking the big questions of life, and eventually finding answers in Christianity.

In a disarming, winsome, and persuasive way, The Problem of God responds to the top ten questions people raise against God, and Christianity, including, among others:

The Problem of Science
The Problem of God's Existence
The Problem of the Bible
The Problem of Evil and Suffering
The Problem of Hell
The Problem of Sex
The Problem of Hypocrisy

Each chapter answers the specific challenge using a mix of theology, philosophy, and science on the one hand, while also using stories, illustrations, and anecdotes. It's apologetics for the rest of us, focused on both convincing the skeptic, and informing the Christian.
No Enemies on the Left
The U.S. Civil Rights Commission refuses to condemn antifa violence.

One of the great gifts the British writer George Orwell gave us, in addition to his classics 1984 and Animal Farm, was a clear and uncompromising look at dangerous ideologies. In “Orwell and the British Left,” British writer Ian Williams recalls Orwell’s underlining of “the old, true and unpalatable conclusion that a Communist and a Fascist are somewhat nearer to one another than either is to a democrat.” Orwell’s well-observed conclusion nonetheless scandalized many on the left who rallied behind the Marxist phrase “no enemies on the left.”
Should Trump’s Evangelical Advisors Abandon Him?
In the aftermath of the President’s comments about Charlottesville, some Republican leaders have distanced themselves from him, while a number of major business leaders have stopped supporting him. Why are the evangelical leaders on his faith advisory council still standing with him?

As reported by NPR, “President Trump’s belated and halfhearted denunciation of the hate groups that marched in Charlottesville, Virginia., has cost him the support of numerous business leaders and fellow Republicans and prompted at least a half-dozen nonprofit organizations to cancel planned fundraising events at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

“By contrast, Trump’s religious advisers have been mostly silent” — with the notable exception of Pastor A. R. Bernard of New York City. This respected mega-church pastor said, “It became obvious that there was a deepening conflict in values between myself and the administration.”

Before Rev. Bernard announced his resignation, Matthew Dowd, a “proud independent” and the Chief Political Analyst for ABC News tweeted, “Not a single member of Trump’s Evangelical Council has resigned. We have learned corporate America has a greater moral compass. So so sad.” The tweet has since gone viral
