Where did reality come from, where is it heading, and does any of it have meaning? In this live Unbelievable X Theora Media event, Jack Symes hosts a major conversation between four strikingly different thinkers: Christian philosopher William Lane Craig, Hindu scholar Jessica Frazier, philosopher Philip Goff and agnostic thinker Joe Folley. Craig argues that God is the best explanation for the universe, morality and human purpose. Folley questions whether meaning needs to be objective. Frazier challenges Western assumptions about God, matter and consciousness, while Goff reflects on mystical experience, psychedelics, suffering and his unexpected journey towards a form of theism. A wide-ranging debate on God, atheism, morality, consciousness and the story of everything.Subscribe & Support👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡🎧 Never miss an episode!

What does Christianity really offer a world searching for God, meaning and moral clarity?
In this episode of Unbelievable? The Interview, Luke Martin speaks with Dr Brian Brock, Professor of Theology at the University of Aberdeen, about some of the most urgent questions facing Christians today: should Christians seek political power? Is the idea of a “Christian nation” faithful to the gospel, or does it risk confusing the church with the state? How should Christians think about war, violence, just war theory and political enemies?
Brock also brings the conversation into deeply personal territory, reflecting on his son Adam, who has Down syndrome and autism, and explaining why disability theology challenges our culture’s obsession with productivity, success and control. This is a powerful conversation about faith, politics, human dignity and the image of God in an age of spiritual hunger and public division.

Philip Pullman has called C.S. Lewis’s Narnia stories a “filthy lie” — but is that fair?
In this episode of Unbelievable, John Nelson is joined by Christian writer Caleb Woodbridge and science-fiction critic Damien Walter to explore Narnia, His Dark Materials, myth, imagination and the search for meaning in a secular age.
They discuss Pullman’s critique of Lewis, the “problem of Susan,” whether Christianity suppresses maturity or offers a deeper vision of reality, and why fantasy and science fiction continue to wrestle with God, goodness, suffering and hope.
Can stories reveal truth? Is Christianity simply one myth among many — or, as Lewis believed, the “true myth” behind them all?

Did Christianity build the modern West?From human rights and equality to science, secularism and democracy, many thinkers now argue that Christianity lies behind much of what modern Western societies value most. Popular historian Tom Holland helped revive this debate with his bestselling book Dominion, but how far can the argument really go?In this episode of Unbelievable?, John Nelson is joined by Mike Jones of Inspiring Philosophy and writer Matt Whitley to explore whether Christianity is truly the foundation of the modern West.Are ideas such as human rights, individual freedom and care for the vulnerable uniquely Christian? Did Christianity help create the conditions for modern science? And if Western values emerged from Christian roots, does that tell us anything about whether Christianity itself is true?This week we discuss slavery, secularism, the rise of modern identity politics, Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray, Tom Holland's influence, and whether a post-Christian society can retain the values it inherited from Christianity.Matt Whiteley writes a Substack https://thisisleisfullofnoises.substack.com/Mike Jones https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qDet6sa6rODi7t6wfpg8gSubscribe & Support👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡🎧 Never miss an episode!

In this wide-ranging episode of Unbelievable? The Interview, host Luke Martin speaks with Christian apologist, author and Islam specialist Dr Andy Bannister about the big questions shaping our cultural moment. Andy reflects on the renewed curiosity about Christianity among young people, why questions of meaning and beauty may now be more compelling than classic debates about God’s existence, and how Christians can speak into a culture marked by anxiety and uncertainty. He also explores the growth of Islam in the UK, religious freedom and free speech, and how Christians should respond with both clarity and compassion. Finally, Luke and Andy turn to artificial intelligence, asking what AI reveals about consciousness, the soul, human uniqueness and what it means to be made in the image of God.

What happens when a philosopher loses faith in God — and then unexpectedly finds it again?In this deeply personal and philosophical episode of Unbelievable?, host John Nelson sits down with philosophers Dr Shaun Stevenson and Dr Joshua Sijuwade to explore belief, doubt, suffering and the search for meaning.Shaun shares how he moved from Christianity into atheism after wrestling with judgmental church experiences, the problem of evil, and the terrifying possibility that loved ones might be eternally separated from God. Years later, however, he found himself drawn back toward Christianity through fatherhood, suffering, philosophy and a renewed understanding of grace.Joshua tells his own powerful story of dramatic Christian conversion after a profound spiritual experience at age 19, before explaining why philosophy still provides intellectual grounds for belief in God despite the reality of suffering.For Shaun Stevensonhttps://www.mmu.ac.uk/staff/profile/dr-shaun-stevensonFor Joshua Sijuwadehttps://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/philosophy/joshua-sijuwadeSubscribe & Support👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡🎧 Never miss an episode!

What does evolution mean for Christian faith? In this episode of Unbelievable?, John Nelson hosts a thoughtful dialogue between molecular biologist Dr Denis Alexander and returning guest Ed Atkinson on one of the deepest questions in science and theology. Can evolution be reconciled with the character of God, or do millions of years of suffering count against belief? Denis argues that evolution can fit within a Christian vision of creation, purpose and resurrection. At the same time, Ed presses the moral problem of suffering, questioning whether such a costly process is compatible with a loving God. Along the way, they discuss free will, the fall, the image of God, human uniqueness, morality, and whether meaning depends on ultimate purpose - a rich and honest conversation at the intersection of evolution, suffering, and faith.Subscribe & Support👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡🎧 Never miss an episode!

As Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist John Lennox prepares to appear on The Diary of a CEO, he joins Luke Martin on Unbelievable to reflect on his extraordinary life and the questions that have shaped a generation. From Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Peter Singer to Alex O’Connor, AI, social media, suffering, marriage and Christian hope, Lennox looks back on the rise and fall of New Atheism and the renewed cultural interest in Christianity. He explains why thinkers such as Tom Holland and Iain McGilchrist are helping people reconsider the Christian story, why he finally decided to write his autobiography, My Story, and why today’s deepest questions have shifted from “science versus faith” to meaning, purpose, identity and the sacred. In this wide-ranging conversation, Lennox reflects on a lifetime of engaging sceptics with truth and grace, and argues that Christianity still makes sense in 2026.

What happens when one of the world’s leading geneticists sits down with one of the world’s most influential Christian theologians?
In this special live episode of Unbelievable?, recorded at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History in partnership with the Oxford Pastorate and BioLogos, Dr Francis Collins and N. T. Wright explore some of life’s biggest questions: Can science and faith truly coexist? Has evolution disproved Christianity? What do truth, evidence, morality and human nature tell us about reality? And does scientific discovery point away from God, or deeper towards him?
Francis Collins, former Director of the National Institutes of Health and leader of the Human Genome Project, shares his journey from atheism to Christian faith and explains why his scientific work has never conflicted with belief in God. N. T. "Tom" Wright, host of the Ask NT Wright Anything podcast, brings his expertise as a world-renowned New Testament scholar to questions of Scripture, resurrection, truth, wisdom and the Christian vision of creation.
Together, in a conversation hosted by Rev. Bethan Willis, Oxford Pastorate Chaplain, they address the perceived conflict between evolution and Christianity, the crisis of trust in a post-truth culture, Adam and Eve, radical altruism, consciousness, the soul, and the search for wisdom. The evening concludes with audience Q&A and a surprise musical finale from Collins, Wright and BioLogos’ Jim Stump.

Do we truly have free will, or are our choices determined by biology, upbringing and brain chemistry? In this episode of Unbelievable?, John Nelson hosts a lively philosophical dialogue between Joe Folley, host of Unsolicited Advice, and Dr Nathan Hawkins, a Christian philosopher who teaches at Cambridge. Together they explore libertarian free will, compatibilism and determinism, asking whether neuroscience has disproved human freedom, whether our thoughts are “just brain states”, and whether moral responsibility survives if forces beyond our control shape our choices. Along the way, they discuss Sam Harris, Robert Sapolsky, Alex O’Connor, Libet experiments, Peter Tse, moral blame, racism, brain tumours, pragmatism, idealism and the mystery of human agency.

Dr Joshua Sijuwade, teaching fellow in philosophy at the University of Birmingham, joins Luke Martin for a wide-ranging conversation on God, evil, the Trinity and the atonement. Joshua begins by explaining why he thinks the existence of God is the best explanation for a contingent, non-fundamental universe, and why he favours a fundamentality argument over some popular versions of the Kalam cosmological argument.He also reflects on his own dramatic conversion experience, his journey into theology and philosophy, and why apologetics still matters in a secular age. Later, Luke and Joshua discuss the problem of evil, the doctrine of the Trinity, whether Jesus is God, Orthodox theology, mystery, language about God, and how Christ’s life, death and resurrection bring reconciliation between humanity and God.

Filmed before a packed live audience at London’s Royal Institution in May 2026, this Unbelievable? x Panpsycast x Theora co-production brings William Lane Craig face-to-face with Unbelievable? regular Alex O’Connor for a gripping conversation on God, cosmology and suffering.
Craig makes the case for Christian theism, drawing on the Kalam cosmological argument, fine-tuning, moral values and the resurrection of Jesus. O’Connor pushes back on whether the universe really had a beginning, pressing Craig on infinity, time, causation and the Big Bang.
The discussion then turns to one of atheism’s most powerful objections: animal suffering. Could a loving God allow millions of years of predation, pain and death?
Hosted by Jack Symes, stepping in for Jonny Thomson after illness.

In this timely classic edition of the Unbelievable podcast Billy Hallowell hosts theologians Tom Wright and Preston Sprinkle for a timely conversation on faith, politics and the church’s public witness. For more Tom Wright subscribe to the new YouTube Channel for the Ask NT Wright Anything podcast.
Drawing fromJesus and the Powers and Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire, they ask what it means to follow Jesus when political loyalties divide congregations, nations and families. Should Christians vote, protest, withdraw, or engage? How should the church respond to nationalism, race, abortion, immigration, war and empire? Wright and Sprinkle explore the Bible’s political vision, the danger of idolatrous allegiance, and the need for Christians to model a different kind of kingdom: one shaped by unity, holiness, wisdom and the Sermon on the Mount.

William Lane Craig and Alex Malpass debate the Kalam cosmological argument: everything that begins to exist has a cause; the universe began to exist; therefore, the universe has a cause. Hosted by John Nelson, the discussion explores whether causation applies to the universe, whether an actual infinite can exist, Hilbert’s Hotel, successive addition, the Grim Reaper paradox, and whether the universe’s cause must be timeless, spaceless, powerful and personal. Craig defends the argument’s metaphysical force and the plausibility of a divine creator, while Malpass challenges its premises with philosophical logic, set theory, and alternative accounts of time and causation. A rigorous and good-humoured exchange on one of philosophy of religion’s most famous arguments.Subscribe & Support👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡🎧 Never miss an episode!

What if much of what Christians think they know about the devil is wrong? In this fascinating conversation, Luke Martin speaks with author and filmmaker Jared Brock about his provocative book
A Devil Named Lucifer. Jared argues that “Lucifer” is not actually the devil’s proper name, explores what Scripture really says about Satan, demons and spiritual warfare, and challenges popular myths shaped more by culture than by the Bible. They discuss whether the devil is a literal being, how evil operates on both personal and systemic levels, and why Christians should keep their eyes fixed on Jesus rather than becoming obsessed with darkness. The episode also tackles deliverance, temptation, the problem of evil, and the growing interest in spirituality among younger generations. A bold, thought-provoking discussion on evil, freedom, fear and the supremacy of Christ.
Key Debate Topics:
"Is Satan a literal being or a symbol of human evil?""How do mistranslations and traditions shape religious beliefs?""Can God’s sovereignty coexist with Satan’s freedom to act?"For Luke Martin: follow on X https://x.com/luke_s_martin

Did Jesus really rise from the dead, or is the resurrection best explained another way? In this gripping debate, Alex O'Connor and Trent Horn go head-to-head on one of history’s most controversial claims.
Trent argues that the resurrection offers the best explanation for the historical evidence: the empty tomb, the transformation of the disciples, and early eyewitness testimony. Alex pushes back, questioning the reliability of the sources and offering alternative explanations from visionary experiences to parallels with other religious movements.
Along the way, they tackle group hallucinations, the martyrdom of the apostles, and even surprising comparisons with Mormonism.
Hosted by John Nelson, this is a thoughtful, fast-paced exchange that gets to the heart of whether the resurrection is fact, faith, or something else entirely.

Live from Sir Henry Floyd Grammar school in Aylesbury, Nigel Crook and Andy Bannister discuss the promise and peril of artificial intelligence and what it could mean for the future of humanity.
Hosted by biologist Sam McKee, and filmed in front of a live audience of teenagers in Aylesbury, UK, this conversation asks the big questions young people are already wrestling with. As AI systems grow more capable, are we heading towards unprecedented flourishing or an age of deepening dependence and control? Can machines genuinely understand, create, or even “think” and does that matter morally?
Should advanced AI ever be granted rights, and who is accountable when algorithms cause harm? What happens to work, education, relationships and truth in a world of synthetic media and accelerating automation? And where, if anywhere, do faith, meaning and human uniqueness fit in a rapidly mechanised future?
Nigel Crook is Professor of AI and Robotics at Oxford Brookes University and Founding Director (founder) of the Institute for Ethical AI, specialising in ethical/responsible AI and robotics
Andy Bannister is an author and apologist, and Director of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity, engaging contemporary culture on faith, ideas and technology.

What if the more we learn about the universe, the harder it is to explain without God? In this conversation, Dr Antony Latham, retired GP, former hospital doctor in East Africa, and Chair of the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, joins Luke Martin to discuss his new book, When I Consider Your Heavens: How Science and Philosophy Lead Us to God. We explore how a life in medicine led him into big questions of cosmology, ethics, and the philosophy of mind. From the fine-tuning of the universe (and “maybe we just got lucky” objections), to the moral argument (including evolutionary debunking and cultural disagreement), to the historical case for the resurrection, Latham makes the case that theism offers a better explanation than materialism.

Why do we suffer, and what, if anything, can make sense of it?
Live from John Colet School in Wendover, Unbelievable? hosts a compelling debate on one of the hardest questions in philosophy and faith: the problem of suffering.
Joining the conversation are Alonzo Paul, a philosopher of religion based in Oxford researching horrendous and seemingly meaningless suffering, and Harry Amos, an ex-Christian philosopher who sees suffering as one of the strongest objections to belief in God.
Together they explore both the intellectual problem of evil and the felt reality of pain. Is suffering evidence against an all-powerful, all-good God? Can free will, soul-making, or future hope really account for natural disasters, predation, disease, and grief? And if atheism offers a simpler explanation, does it offer enough comfort for the human experience of suffering?
