Impactus podcast

Where can a man turn in his darkest hours?
The Sunday School answer is "Jesus!" and that's not wrong—but how does a man do that?
What's more, how does a man do that when everything within him is pulling him in the opposite direction?
In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Chris is joined by Mark Soppitt, a former police officer, pastor, and current spiritual coach who uses his story of plunging into the depths of soul-crushing depression and debilitating bipolar disorder, and how God met him in that place and turned everything around.
Out of his own testimony of profound healing and transformation, Mark now lives his life to help others find the grace and strength that Jesus offers to all who need it.
Join us for Mark's inspiring story, and find fresh hope today.  https://www.impactus.org/podcast/ep-108-finding-hope-in-the-darkness-with-mark-soppitt

Lots of Canadians have access to a Bible.
Far fewer actually open it.
And even fewer experience what God wants to do through it.
In this compelling conversation, Father Matthew Francis, an Orthodox priest in Chilliwack, B.C., and a Regional Director with the Canadian Bible Society, shares with Dean why so many men struggle to engage with Scripture—and why it's never too late to start again.
Dean and Matthew dig into the power of simple, consistent habits that shape a man's faith and offer practical, encouraging wisdom for men who feel stuck, distracted, discouraged, or even disqualified from drawing near to God.
You'll also hear some fascinating insights from recent research on Bible engagement in Canada, discover why newcomers to this nation are often more engaged with Scripture than lifelong Canadians, and learn about the incredible work being done to translate the Bible into Indigenous languages in our land.
If you're a man who's ever struggled to maintain a daily time with God, wondered how to make Bible reading more meaningful, or just want to hear about what God is up to across Canada, this conversation will bless and encourage you!

Why are so many people suddenly talking about UFOs, UAPs, aliens, and the supernatural? And how should Christian men respond?
In this fascinating conversation, Jordan is joined by pastor and former private investigator Nathan Zieber, who has spent more than a decade ministering to people wrestling with unexplained phenomena in our world. Together, they explore why the current wave of interest in UFOs and the supernatural presents both challenges and opportunities for the Church.
Most importantly, this episode challenges the Church to engage spiritual seekers rather than avoid difficult conversations. As people in our time search for meaning, mystery, and transcendence, Christians have a unique opportunity to point them toward Jesus.
Join us as we explore the fascinating intersection of faith, unexplained phenomena, and the supernatural, and how Christian men can engage with these matters thoughtfully and biblically.

Let's honestly try to answer a very hard question:
What price are you actually willing to pay to follow Jesus?
While we in the West generally don't need to grapple with that question to the fullest, we have brothers and sisters all over the world for whom that question is a life-or-death daily reality.
In this powerful episode of the Impactus podcast, Chris sits down with Chris Chase of Open Doors Canada to confront what most Western men don't really want or need to face.
Through the remarkable legacy of Brother Andrew—"God's Smuggler" who risked everything to deliver Bibles behind enemy lines during the Cold War—Chris and Chris delve into the ongoing story of a global Church under intense pressure, yet also, amazingly, thriving and alive.
You'll hear firsthand insights into the lives of believers in places like North Korea, Nigeria, and Iran, where faith can mean imprisonment, violence, or death. Yet instead of fear, these fellow believers choose courage, joy, and unshakable conviction.
Their example powerfully challenges our comfort-driven faith that is so common in North America, and invites men to reconsider what trusting and following Jesus really looks like.
Don't miss it!

The future is coming for all of us.
It can be scary to think about—but does it need to be?
In this thought-provoking conversation, Dean talks with Dr. Joel Murphy of Acadia Divinity College, who invites us into the world of "futuring"—a disciplined, hope-filled way of discerning where culture is headed and how Christian men can respond with wisdom and intentionality.
Rather than simply reacting to change, Joel challenges men to recognize emerging trends, imagine possible futures, and step into their God-given calling to help shape what's next.
From the rise of AI and the "attention economy" to the growing influence of the online manosphere, Dean and Joel dive into some of the realities shaping modern masculinity.
But grounded in a deep confidence in Christ, Dr. Murphy holds the tension between realism and hope—reminding us that while the world is shifting rapidly, God is not.
The future is coming for all of us. The question is—what kind of men will face it?
