socialbugI listened to only one episode….….and it was very helpful to turn the cogs and wheels. I will plan to listen to more. Thank you for this ministry.
-
Mordrake livesTo echo a few other reviews…I used to love this podcast/show, always excited to get to Friday and see what is next. Pre 2022 seemed to have much more substance and discussion with opposing views and very engaging; now it appears to be (almost exclusively) for spiritual listeners and often with guests that are not there to challenge and debate. I wish the best for the show and new host, but cannot recommend the show in its current form.
-
RodgerDodgersExcellentExcellent way to hear some the brightest minds discussing the topics we as humans truly desire to understand.
-
64SquishyOrangesGreat way to understand both sides of pretty much any topic!Justin was such an amazing host, with an incredible ability to listen to and understand both sides of an enormous range of challenging topics. His voice will be missed but I’m confident Unbelievable will continue to be an important source of difficult conversations
-
Tim_MNGreat listeningJust discovered this fabulous podcast. Excellent guests who debate and disagree with mutual respect.
-
ZinniapowerKrause and John LennoxMr Lawrence Krause is a difficult person to listen to because he seems hostile from the very beginning. He constantly interrupts and then when he does speak his responses are incoherent and full of hubris. His issue is not about science but is more about disproving God and his atheism is really his religion. He is obnoxious but mr Lennox did a remarkable job keeping his cool against this obnoxious and nonsensical human. I’m not sure why he gets a repeat invitation… ??

jkb211top rate analysesfascinating discussions–spiritually and intellectually illuminating
-
saperloLosing its wayThis show has been very helpful and challenging over the years (and I’ve listened to almost all of them). Now it seems that the dreaded “woke” culture is here too, telling us why all we believe is wrong and emphasizing leftist culture wars narratives. That is the new and false religion. The Tim Keller podcast is just awful because of this I’ve unsubscribed and gone to pastures new
-
CSH46Bad EvangelicalsLet’s praise Tim Keller for helping us see how bad evangelicals behave, while we have it right. If you were trying not to be political you failed. It was hard not to think that you have just trashed a large part of the church with no evidence or thoughtful suggestions. Your guests literally jabbed at part of the body without a hearing from another point of view. I think you have done a disservice to Mr. Keller. Yet the host just gushed that it was so amazing.
-
PazzocazzoNice DESIGNLet’s see? 6 million people were exterminated during WWII. In 2004, 277000 plus thousand people died from a tsunami. NICE DESIGN! Atheists 1 Christians 0
-
Dubbz1Click bait titles….I listened to a classic replay of Greg Koukl getting “grilled” by skeptics. These skeptics sounded like they had no idea what they were talking about and the questions were shallow and hard as cotton candy.
-
Twhit126758One of the bestWithout a doubt one of the best podcasts that gets Christians and non-Christians together in helpful discussion. Great for skeptics, thinkers, and believers (and everyone in between) alike!
-
GrantmertMore ContentPlease more content and less ads and prep talk etc
-
kplspInteresting and balancedSome really interesting information, and both sides of an issue are very carefully allowed to speak and address the topics! I really love this podcast.
-
AnnieFocusdSo grateful!!Just amazing and I’m wildly grateful for these resources.
-
@AWVA Steady Diet!If you crave meaningful dialogue and friendly debate on all matters concerning Christian apologetics, add and bookmark this podcast. What Justin Brierley delivers is content that will make you a wiser, more conscious, and hopefully more compassionate Christian. What he does not offer is an echo chamber for any of the myriad theological camps. Personally, what’s been most helpful is truly hearing from so many perspectives — no propaganda, just pure, authentic and fair dialogue on topics of science, faith, religion, and culture. Just skim a few episodes to hear what you’ve been missing.
-
DMLaRockRefreshing!I’ve been listening to this show for about 5 years now. Look forward to it every week. This is the kind of discourse our world needs more than ever. Difficult subjects. Patient & intelligent guests. Superior host. Kudos to Brierley and team!
-
uk health employeeGood contentA lot of thought provoking, and uncomfortable conversations. Some episodes I enjoy far more than others, but ultimate need more spaces like this to discuss tough conversations respectfully. Love what this show is about, and the kinds of conversations it hosts
-
cole LinscheidDo not listen to this if you are looking for a podcast that teaches the Bible.Derwin Gray was the guest that made me realize this shouldn’t be called a Christian podcast in the sense of being based off scripture
-
eyeconoclasticHas become just another Christian propaganda showThis used to be a great show that featured vigorous discussions between Christians and non-Christians. That changed a couple of years ago and the show is now almost all Christian apologetics and propaganda. It’s unfortunate because it used to be unique and thought-provoking.
-
Curiousagain22Dawkins is basically saying…if you’re a fish you can only look in the ocean for all the answers to your life questions. You can’t consider the sky or land at all, cause you as a fish, can’t perceive of sky or land.
-
Michael from LeedsUghDefense of superstitious nonsense. I guess believing is easy but thinking is hard for religious morons.
-
Monkeyhater10000Episode 327Living in the USA, it freaks me out how much control the governments in other countries want over people’s religious life. Jayne seems to have a problem with the term, ‘discussion’. Anyone else want to shove a pair of socks in her mouth? (Sorry) anyway I generally like the show, it usually gives me good info to think about.
-
CMac2834Confessions of an “Unbelievable?” AddictListened to hundreds of episodes to this point. Wonderful stuff
-
KsschwarzkopfExcellent PodcastI love a good debate between folks with opposing views, and this podcast does not disappoint. I appreciate the professionalism and friendliness with which most guests approach their “opponents” and Justin does a stellar job of guiding the discussion when things start to go awry. Lots of good information for Christians, agnostics, atheists and other adherents of different religious views. This podcast has strengthened my faith in Christ, while helping to see the perspectives of those with differing views.
-
interestingstephenUnbelievably ExcellentI have listened to this show for about 10 years now. It is only getting better! Justin does a great job of moderating conversations surrounding important questions. Keep up the good work!
-
Deetyxzs657This Podcast Is An InspirationJustin is awesome! I love all the topics and the way he leads the conversations. Such an encouraging and impactful ministry. May God continue to bless and keep you.
-
Ross in New HartfordInsight and GrowthDear Justin, Thank you for the civil conversations that provide great insight as well as challenge assumptions. Thank you!! Great podcast! Ross
-
nohramblAs it should beJustin’s approach is the personification of the gentleness and respect we are called to show when talking with every person and addressing every subject. It takes real humility to do that. Like Truth is not afraid. Hats off!
-
Hanover-5Valuable podcast!Love listening to this podcast! My husband and I found it during the pandemic and the rich discussions have been such a blessing in our lives. Thank you!
-
eLow4In AbortionTo the pro-choice lady, where is God in the whole “my body, my choice” stance that you are taking? Seriously.... you’re unbelievable! Shame!
-
ttttpadtoleAppreciate the respectful dialogueI so appreciate the gracious and respectful approach to complex issues that believers face daily. Rare and so helpful.
-
Mt.6:24Jesus’ most neglected teachings...More people & podcasts are talking these days about the things Jesus taught (in the 4 gospels), but there are a few of his teachings that almost never get serious coverage. Several references (EXCLUDING the “rich young ruler”) are made in Luke about selling all of one’s possessions & giving to the poor and then this teaching is shown to be taken seriously by the time we get to the book of Acts (end of chapters 2 & 4). Another powerful & often neglected paradigm-changing (IF taken at face value) teaching of Jesus is found in Mt. 6:24; Lk. 16:13-14). This has been called the “Two Masters teaching”, one being God/Love and the other/opposite one being money. Take a leap of faith and dive deep into these teachings! ✌🏼
-
Baxter141DisappointingListen to the Mark Driscoll classic and the host was exposed on all levels and ignores what the Bible says based on his pop culture feelings. He can’t name a single young British teacher, but doesn’t see the issue there. Even with his own wife’s church converting a “couple” young men Imagine a football team with a man scoring 2000 goals a season and the other team that has female captain who’s scored 2 goals for her entire career and still thinking they are equally valid and effective.
-
Glenney11Adam & eveI have listened for a long time. Your pendulum has tilted in the direction off of scripture and been enticed by weak philosophy. Your continued platforming of big names shows your man centered bias over clear Scripture. Your show is now lifts man’s intellect in opposition over God’s direct revelation. Your latest episode has lost my viewership. Sad
-
Tx078459Excellent Topics, Moderator and GuestsI am not a believer and yet I love this podcast. Each episode rewards the listener with a healthy serving of intelligent, civil discourse. Justin is a terrific moderator and his guests offer well reasoned and clearly articulated arguments for their position, while maintaining respect for their opponent. They may disagree, sometimes vigorously, but are almost never disagreeable. This is a true gem of a podcast for believers and non-believers alike.
-
Chaim K.More from Meyer and Keating please !Great episodes every week. Keep up the great work Justin!
-
xuxycyxyxyxtxttxIncredibleThe host is warm, the content is Rigorous. Amazing
-
Sherebiah TisbiSuch a great showI really deeply admire the work you are doing Justin - opening a platform for healthy scholarly discussions like this. I am a Bible believing follower of Christ myself and believe in inerrancy of Bible with all my heart. But I would like to agree with Adnan that White did not present case in a compelling way.
-
JessMakesAMessDependably great conversationsFor the most part, these conversations bring up great points from both sides of an argument. I’ve learned a ton. I often feel that I could share these discussions with anyone. I’ve read many books that have been brought up in the episodes. (Just listened to the replay of the sex outside of marriage debate and it was probably the worst one- on both sides- and the discussion wasn’t focused, there seemed to be a lack of mutual respect, and I walked away with very little compelling points rattling in my head.)
-
Planet weinersLove this show!Almost each time I’m talking to someone and they say, “oh that’s interesting.. how did you come to that conclusion?” I can point back to this show as the genesis for my further study. I so appreciate Justin’s work in this and wish there were more Christians doing the same— initiating conversations with non-Christians instead of speaking ill of them. I love how humble Justin is to nod his head at a good argument.
-
NP2016userThought-provoking podcast!The moderator does a terrific job of bringing people together from opposing viewpoints to discuss their views in a calm way. This is unfortunately rare but it’s so needed in our world. We need to learn that people who we disagree with are not our enemies.
-
legitJGGreat Show!!!Great moderator, great topics, and great outlook!!! Check it out. It speaks for itself
-
Samuel the WiseJesus isn't wokeUsed to listen to this podcast as often as possible. Now all it is propagandist and heretics jabbering on how evil whites people are.
-
@DanDDouglasListened To AllI have gone back and listened to every episode through my travels and while exercising. There are occasional slips, but Justin is overwhelmingly a tremendous interviewer allowing his guests to have deep and meaningful discussions and debates on the questions that really matter around faith and philosophy.
-
Nashville BerkLove the podcastI’m hooked on the podcast and the forum. I first heard of you on the Bible Answer Man show. Thanks!
-
JaneswtJeff Durbin and Andy StanleyConcerning this debate, Justin you usually stay neutral in these discussion. But unfortunately you seem to take Stanley’s side even to the point of debating and arguing with Durbin. Little disappointing.
-
Goodapp77398124622I’m hooked!Fantastic debates! It’s so nice to see people with legitimately different views get together for intense discussion and debate. Incredibly helpful as I think through and wrestle with different issues. One note: The Ken Ham vs. Jeff Zweerink debate is hilariously ridiculous. After listening to so many academics, to hear Ken Ham felt like more of a comedic podcast than an intellectual one! Would love to hear him debate an actual Hebrew scholar like John Walton.
-
Ph908Very very good.Really facinating discussions orientatet around life's big questions.
-
s19concreteCombines Civil Debate and ChristianityI have been listening to Unbelievable? for about a year now and I am amazed at the civility and substance that these debates have. Justin does an excellent job, of being impartial yet also being challenging and articulate. Also, I’m really glad this is coming out of the UK which has such a reputation for secularism and not caring that much about faith or Christianity. This podcast really helps to get to the essence of questions that can matter for an eternity and have to do with our very being. Which I would argue are more important than any debates politicians have today. I cannot recommend this podcast enough.
