Christian Nationalism: Biblical or Dangerous? Doug Wilson vs Mike Bird
Is Christian nationalism biblically sound - or dangerously divisive? In this episode, John Nelson hosts Doug Wilson and Dr Michael Bird for a high-stakes debate on what Christian politics should look like in a plural, polarised democracy. Should nations be explicitly Christian, or does that threaten freedom, minorities, and even faith itself? From pluralism and liberty to the risks of coercion, this conversation tackles the future of faith and politics.
Why The West Can’t Escape Christianity
Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing joins John Nelson for a wide-ranging conversation about media, power and faith in a post-Christian West. Boreing describes how Hollywood sharpened his convictions and why The Daily Wire was designed as a digital counterweight to legacy media. They unpack how culture shapes belief beneath the level of argument, and why entertainment can move public morality faster than politics.
Christian Apologetics Has a Problem – And It’s Not Atheism
Premier Unbelievable host John Nelson gathers a lively roundtable to ask a timely question: what’s the current state of Christian apologetics—and where should it go next? Scientist and historian of science Sam McKee (University of Reading / Manchester Metropolitan) argues that apologetics often lags decades behind today’s life sciences, too easily dominated by creationist “marketing machines”, and too quick to platform non-experts as authorities.

Why CS Lewis and Leadership Is Exactly the Conversation We Need
He never sought authority, avoided institutions, and disliked administration, yet CS Lewis has led millions into faith. What does his influence tell us about leadership, persuasion, and belief today?
Can an atheist “decode the cosmos” without God?
An atheist philosopher and a Christian scientist ask whether the universe looks “designed” or whether we’re reading meaning into the maths. From fine-tuning and multiverses to time, salvation and aliens, this conversation goes to the edge of science and faith.

Q&A: Were we unfair on the House of Lords over its assisted dying scrutiny? And the Church of England prepares to welcome its first nurse-Archbishop
In this episode, we revisit our discussion on the House of Lords’ handling of the assisted dying bill, responding to listener feedback and exploring the complexities behind the debate. Plus, we look ahead to Sarah Mullally’s historic appointment as the first nurse-Archbishop of Canterbury, reflecting on how her unique background could shape both the Church of England and its relationship with the NHS.
Do the ends justify the means? The dubious campaign by unelected lawmakers to destroy the assisted dying bill
Last year, the democratically-elected MPs of Britain’s House of Commons passed by a margin of 23 votes a bill to introduce assisted suicide for the first time. Before it can come into force, the bill has to also be approved by the UK’s unelected upper chamber of parliament, the House of Lords. Here it has started to founder, as opposition grows and the parliamentary procedure is gummed up by a thousand separate amendments.
What makes the church vulnerable to abusers?
This episode tackles the uncomfortable question of why the church—and especially the evangelical tradition—can be so vulnerable to abuse. Psychologist Elly Hanson joins us to explore the cultural and psychological weaknesses that abusers exploit, drawing on her work for the Church of England’s investigation into John Smyth.
