    Christopher Hitchens vs Peter Hitchens: Two brothers debate God

    10/11/2026 | 1h 53 mins.
    Two brothers. One an outspoken atheist. The other a Christian convert. What happens when they debate God?
    In this Unbelievable? Classic, you will hear an extraordinary 2008 encounter between the late Christopher Hitchens, author of God Is Not Great, and his younger brother Peter Hitchens, who returned to Christianity after years as an atheist.
    Before an audience of 1,400 in Michigan, the brothers clash over the Iraq War, the existence of God, morality and whether religion makes the world better or worse. A fiery, personal and often entertaining exchange between two formidable thinkers.
    Want to hear more from Peter Hitchens?
    In a recent Unbelievable? The Interview, Peter joins Luke Martin to reflect candidly on his late brother Christopher, their complicated relationship, his own journey from atheism to Christianity and his concerns about Britain's future.

    Originally recorded in 2008 by the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies at Grand Valley State University.

    Can Giving 10% of Your Income Save Lives? Effective Altruism and Jesus

    04/11/2026 | 1h 14 mins.
    What if the money you give to charity could save far more lives simply by being spent differently?
    With household budgets under pressure, is giving away 10% of your income a moral obligation or an unreasonable demand?
    John Nelson is joined by Princeton philosopher Matthew Adelstein and JD Bauman, co-author of All the Lives You Can Change, to explore effective altruism, a movement committed to using evidence to do the most good.
    They tackle whether Jesus would endorse effective altruism, whether saving souls should take priority over saving lives, and why Matthew believes insect suffering may outweigh human suffering.
    An extraordinary conversation about money, morality, faith and what we owe to people we've never met.

    Can Christianity be trusted? Mark Meynell on depression, church scandals and doubt

    03/11/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    What happens to Christian faith when you experience depression, encounter abuse of power in the Church or find parts of the Bible deeply troubling?
    Mark Meynell joins Luke Martin for a wide-ranging and unusually candid conversation about Christianity in the real world. Mark discusses his experience of depression and ministry, the unexpected role of music and art in sustaining faith, and why beauty itself raises profound questions about God.
    He also explores the crisis of trust created by church scandals and spiritual abuse, arguing that many people now ask “Am I safe?” before they ever ask “Is Christianity true?”
    Finally, Luke presses Mark on one of Scripture’s hardest questions: slavery in the New Testament, Paul’s letter to Philemon and why the Bible does not simply say slavery is wrong.

    N.T. Wright: Have Christians Got Jesus Wrong?

    28/10/2026 | 52 mins.
    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.

    Classic Unbelievable: Is Halloween harmless fun or a doorway to evil?  Peter Laws vs Michael Cummins

    27/10/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    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.
