Unbelievable?

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.

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?

In recent years, numerous high-profile Christian leaders have resigned following revelations of moral failure, including Carl Lentz, Jerry Falwell Jr., and Bill Hybels. Others have posthumously been subject to allegations of sexual misconduct, including Jean Vanier and Ravi Zacharias (an independent investigation is ongoing).

Karen Swallow Prior, who resigned her position at Liberty University over the Falwell affair, and RC Sproul Jr, who has written about his own moral failures, discuss what’s gone wrong in evangelical leadership and whether we are forgetting the female victims in many cases.

In this Unbelievable conversation, host John Nelson tackles the “meaning crisis” that’s been bubbling up across the internet: the rise in loneliness, anxiety, addiction and a sense of cultural fragmentation and the growing hunger for depth, belonging and transcendence.

John Vervaeke (University of Toronto) argues that modern life suffers from a “propositional tyranny”, over-privileging facts and analysis while neglecting other ways of knowing procedural, perspectival and participatory that bind us to reality, one another, and ourselves.

Poet and priest Malcolm Guite agrees, tracing the crisis to modernity’s split between mind and world, and making a passionate case for imagination, myth and poetry as truth-bearing, meaning-making faculties. Together they explore logos, “religio” as binding, the limits of “spiritual but not religious”, and why practices, community and pilgrimage may be part of the way back.

Luke Martin is joined by neurosurgeon, war veteran and author Dr Lee Warren for a powerful and deeply personal conversation on trauma, grief, the brain, and whether we can truly change how we think and live.

After performing over 200 brain surgeries in a warzone in Iraq, Lee returned home carrying the unseen wounds of PTSD. Years later, following the devastating loss of his son, he found himself confronting not just suffering, but the limits of a purely material understanding of the mind.

In this wide-ranging discussion, Lee explores the difference between brain and mind, why neuroscience alone may not explain consciousness, and how our thoughts can literally reshape our brains. Drawing on cutting-edge research, clinical experience and his Christian faith, he makes the case for what he calls “self brain surgery” — the idea that we can intentionally rewire our thinking to change our lives.

They discuss PTSD, grief, near-automatic thoughts, anxiety, ADHD, neuroplasticity, and the role of faith in recovery. Lee also reflects on suffering, the reliability of our emotions, and why learning to question our thoughts might be one of the most important skills we can develop.

A profound and practical conversation at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology and faith — and a hopeful vision for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed or defined by their past.

In this conversation, we’re exploring one of the central claims of Christianity: the resurrection of Jesus. Joining us are two of the world’s leading New Testament scholars who approach the evidence from different angles. Dale Allison, former Richard J. Dearborn Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, is widely respected for his historical work on Jesus and early Christian belief, and is known for his careful, often cautious assessment of what historians can and cannot conclude about the resurrection. Read Dale's book here

Dr Michael Licona, Professor of Biblical Studies at Houston Christian University, is a leading defender of the historical case for Jesus’ bodily resurrection, arguing that the best explanation of the early eyewitness testimony and explosive growth of the Christian movement is that the resurrection really occurred. While both scholars agree on much of the historical data — including Jesus’ crucifixion and the early proclamation that he was raised — they differ on how confidently historians can infer a bodily resurrection, the role of supernatural explanations in historical reasoning, and how we should weigh experiences, visions, and empty-tomb traditions in reaching our conclusions.
