October 28 N.T. Wright: Have Christians Got Jesus Wrong?
What if Christians have misunderstood what Jesus really came to do?
Did Jesus come to take us to heaven—or to transform the world? Why would an all-powerful God reveal himself through suffering rather than strength?
In this special live edition of Unbelievable?, John Nelson joins leading New Testament scholar N.T. Wright to challenge familiar assumptions about Jesus, explore the surprising message of Isaiah and discuss Wright’s new book, Into the Heart of Isaiah.
A thought-provoking conversation about faith, power, suffering and hope.

October 27 Classic Unbelievable: Is Halloween harmless fun or a doorway to evil? Peter Laws vs Michael Cummins
Is Halloween harmless fun, or are Christians right to fear what lies behind it?
As Halloween approaches, we revisit one of Unbelievable?’s most chilling debates. Baptist minister and horror enthusiast Peter Laws, author of The Frighteners, goes head-to-head with Michael Cummins, a pastor with decades of experience in deliverance ministry.
Can horror films actually lead people towards Christianity? Are Ouija boards, ghost hunting and Halloween celebrations spiritually dangerous? And what should we make of extraordinary claims of demonic possession and exorcism?
With unsettling personal stories, sharply contrasting views and surprising common ground, Unbelievable explores our fascination with fear, death and the supernatural.
A Halloween Classic that might just change how you see the darkness.

October 21 What if hell isn't eternal torment? And what if Christians have misunderstood what Jesus actually taught?
What if hell isn't eternal torment? And what if Christians have misunderstood what Jesus actually taught?
Christian thinker and Questioning Christianity host Dan Paterson joins John Nelson for a searching conversation about three of Christianity's most difficult questions: hell, divine hiddenness and the problem of evil.
Dan explains why he changed his mind about eternal conscious punishment, explores whether everyone could ultimately be saved, and asks why a loving God sometimes seems absent from those who genuinely seek him.
From C.S. Lewis and the teachings of Jesus to the suffering of innocent children and animals, this conversation confronts the deepest objections to Christian faith without avoiding the difficult answers.
Can we still trust that God is good?

October 20 Can forgiveness become dangerous? And does Christianity sometimes get it wrong?
In a culture of outrage, division and cancel culture, Dr Amy Orr-Ewing believes forgiveness may be one of the most radical ideas we have. But what happens when forgiveness is used to silence victims, excuse abuse or avoid justice?
Joining Luke Martin on Unbelievable? The Interview, the bestselling author and public theologian discusses her new book, Forgiveness: Reclaiming Its Power in a Culture of Outrage and Fear.
From the extraordinary story of a mother who forgave her daughter's murderer to the hardest questions about suffering, biblical violence and whether we can really trust the Gospels, Amy makes a compelling case for taking Christianity seriously.
And as Gen Z rediscovers faith, could Christianity offer something our increasingly divided culture desperately needs?
In this conversation:
Can forgiveness be harmful?Should we forgive someone who never apologises?Does Christianity let abusers off the hook?Why does a loving God allow suffering?Did God command violence in the Old Testament?Can we trust the Bible and the eyewitness accounts of Jesus?Why are young people becoming interested in Christianity again?
Dr Amy Orr-Ewing's new book: Forgiveness: Reclaiming Its Power in a Culture of Outrage and Fear.

October 07 Are the Christmas stories history — or legend?
The birth narratives of Jesus contain some of the most famous stories in Christianity: the virgin birth, angels and shepherds, the Magi, the star of Bethlehem and Herod’s massacre of the innocents. But did Matthew and Luke actually intend their readers to believe these events happened?
Dr Caleb Friedeman joins John Nelson to challenge a widespread assumption in historical Jesus scholarship: that the infancy narratives can largely be sidelined because they belong more to the world of legend and theological storytelling than history.
Drawing on his new book, Gospel Birth Narratives and Historiography: Reopening a Closed Case, Friedeman compares Matthew and Luke with ancient biographers including Plutarch, Suetonius and Philo. He argues that supposedly “legendary” ancient birth stories often show clear signs of historical intent — including the use and evaluation of sources — and asks whether scholars have been applying the wrong assumptions to the Gospels.
But historical intent doesn’t automatically mean historical accuracy. So what about the difficult questions? Did Luke get the census of Quirinius wrong? Is there any evidence for Herod’s massacre of the innocents? Did Luke really get his information from Mary? And can the apparently different birth stories in Matthew and Luke actually be reconciled?
Can we take the Christmas story seriously as history?

September 22 Why Tyler Staton still believes in God after cancer, suffering and unanswered prayer
After cancer and intensive chemotherapy, Tyler Staton says he came to know Jesus in a way he never had before: not simply as the victorious Saviour, but as the suffering servant. In this deeply personal conversation with Ruth Jackson, the Bridgetown Church pastor explores unanswered prayer, miraculous healing, anxiety, doubt and why suffering did not destroy his faith. He also reflects on America’s culture wars, Britain’s apparent spiritual revival, the coming age of AI and why beauty and story may increasingly speak to people more powerfully than traditional apologetic arguments.
