Over the years, A Christmas Story has become a bona-fide holiday classic. However, I would guess that most viewers don’t realize that much of the film was made right here in Toronto. Since we’re only four days away from Christmas Day, we decided to make a bonus episode about the different locations where film scenes were shot. Happy Holidays from M…

The Holidays can be a mixed bag emotionally. For some, it is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. For others, it's a time of stress, sadness, and anxiety. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, the coming of the promised Messiah offers real and lasting hope that goes above and beyond anything we could think of imagine. Join Brad Kafer and Micha…

Garrison Creek used to run through western Toronto before flowing into the harbour. Over the years, it would be covered and filled in, but its ghost lingers on. If you know where to look, you can still find traces of it throughout the city. Learn more about Toronto's forgotten river on Muddy York, Toronto's #1 history podcast. You can follow Muddy …

Aren't the Creeds just dusty old antiques that have long been surpassed by our modern interpretations? Join us this week on the Reclamation as we talk with Pastor Bradley Gray, and Pastor Timothy Baird, about the Chalcedonian definition.

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is the largest and most-visited museum in Canada. But who built the ROM?

Learn more about Toronto's most distinguished museum on this episode of Muddy York, Toronto's #1 history pod…

One of our all time favorite podcasts and the online community that we're involved in is in turmoil right now. The Reclamation exists because of Theocast, so we have skin in the game so to speak. Our hearts are heavy to the point of brokenness, and we see the confusion that's taking hold around this split. Join Brad Kafer, Michael Lewis, and our sp…

There are two ditches we can fall in when it comes to scripture. One is the view that we are either saved or sanctified by the thoroughness of our understanding of doctrine. The other is that doctrine is just divisive, so let's just love everyone and not worry about it. Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis on this week's episode, as we attempt to help…

All of us were raised in some kind of tradition. For those of us raised in the American Evangelical church, we are protestants by default. Why though? What are the roots of Protestantism, and what are the distinctives? Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis this week as we talk with Austin Suggs of the Gospel Simplicity YouTube channel, about why we thi…

Okay, so we're saved. Now what? Move to a far away land and become a missionary? Sell all of our possessions and live in a commune? Stand on the street corner and scream for people to repent? Transform our culture through missional living? Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis as we explore what we believe the function of the church is in the world on …

Kit Coleman was a woman; she was also a journalist. When she began her career in 1889, this made her a trailblazer and even a subversive figure. For some people, female journalists were only slightly higher than streetwalkers in the Victorian social hierarchy. For 22 years, she wrote for The Mail and The Mail and Empire newspapers. Then, she struck…

What is the role of the church in establishing God's Kingdom on earth? Is that even the duty of the church? Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis with our special guest, Pastor Tony Phelps, as we discuss Christian Nationalism, the role of the church in society, and our role as citizens of two kingdoms on this week's episode.…

The Christian life is hard enough when we have hope in Christ, but for some reason, we want it to be harder. We just can't believe that righteousness isn't our personal duty. Jesus becomes a law giver, coach, or drill instructor, and we are left scrambling to keep all the plates spinning. Is this what Jesus meant when he said he would give us rest …

The Zoo is a Scarborough institution. But it raises the question: what is a zoo in Toronto’s eyes? Is it an animal sanctuary? A school field trip factory? A conservation lab? On this episode of Muddy York, we'll look at the history of the high-minded, ethically ambitious and chaotically managed mega-zoo that we know today as well as the Riverdale Z…

How do we reconcile our sufferings in life with the promise of being transformed from "Glory to Glory"? What should we expect from our lives as followers of Jesus this side of eternity?

Come to Jesus. He'll take away all your worries and troubles and give you success in every area of life, take away all your addictions, give you all of the good feelings and outcomes and none of the bad ones...if you will surrender, believe, obey, and love him enough. For many of us, this is how we view, or at least, have viewed Christianity on som…

In our last episode, we covered the history of Yonge Street up to 1867. This episode will focus on the last 150 years. We’ll talk about how it became the city’s main shopping street, how streetcars and urban development moved north, and how the Yonge Street Strip was left to decay before a massive shopping mall helped to kickstart a recovery. You c…

How often do we hear the idea of being "fallen from grace" used in pop culture to describe someone who has committed a heinous sin? Not only do we hear that in pop culture, but sometimes even from well meaning brothers and sisters. Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis this week as we explore what Paul was actually getting at when he says this in Galat…

We are offered so many false hopes in this world, and many of them have come through bad doctrine. Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis as we explore what our actual hope is in Christ; eternal, incorruptible, undefiled, life in the Savior for ever, with no chance of sin or death, in resurrected bodies. The news is so good, that it's hard to believe.…

Is Yonge Street the longest street in the world? Hard to say. But it is the most important street in Toronto. On this episode of Muddy York, learn more about the history of this thoroughfare, including how it was built in the middle of winter, what it was like to travel during the 19th century and the corrupt businessman who managed to steal it. Yo…

Join us on this midweek, shorter episode as we explore some passages that have been weaponized against the saints. This week, we focus on 2 Corinthians 13:5, and how self examination has been turned into a law of morbid introspection, and ultimately harms the faith of many. What did Paul actually mean when he said this though?…

If you went to the Ex from the 70s to the 90s, you may remember seeing a clown’s head logo with red hair, a black hat and plus signs over his eyes. The clown was named Conko and he was the logo for Conklin Shows, the company that managed the CNE midway alongside a host of other fairs across Canada and the U.S. John Thurston, author of Carnie King, …

Today is the first day of the CNE. If you’re one of the millions of people who will plan to visit the Ex, you might want to take the opportunity to check out the oldest building in Toronto. Built in 1794, it’s called the Scadding Cabin and it’s located on the Exhibition Grounds, just west of the Bandshell and next to the large wind turbine. For the…

Caribana is about artistry, community and joy. It began in Canada's Centennial year of 1967 as a gift from the Caribbean community to the people of Toronto. Since then, it's grown into the largest cultural festival in North America - we're talking about more than a million people, a $400 million economic impact and more feather than a Vegas revue. …
