    Why The West Can't Escape Christianity
    Jan 29 2026
    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. Boreing addresses the seductions of influence, the “grift” economy, and the danger of Christianity being reduced to a tribal marker in the culture wars. The discussion ranges from Trump and evangelicalism to conspiracy thinking, antisemitism, and the rise of illiberal “Christ is King” rhetoric. Finally, Boreing explains why he stepped back from leadership and reveals his passion project: Rise of the Merlin an ambitious adaptation of Lawhead’s Pendragon Cycle SOCIAL LINKS Twitter: https://twitter.com/unbelievablefe Facebook: / https://facebook.com/premierunbelievable Instagram: / https://instagram.com/premierunbelievable Tik Tok: / https://tiktok.com/@premier.unbelievable 👉 Get bonus content, updates, fascinating articles, and early access to new episodes—absolutely free!

  • Katy Faust: Why Kids Need a Mum and Dad

    Katy Faust: Why Kids Need a Mum and Dad
    Jan 27 2026
    Katy Faust is the Founder and President of Them Before Us, a global movement advocating for the fundamental rights of children to be raised by their own mother and father. In this wide-ranging conversation with Luke Martin, Katy challenges some of the most contested assumptions of modern family life, asking what happens when adult fulfilment takes priority over child welfare. They discuss the differences between men and women, why mothers and fathers matter in distinct ways, and how ideas around feminism, marriage, divorce, and church leadership shape the lives of children. Katy also addresses gay marriage, surrogacy, IVF, sperm and egg donation, and the claim that “love makes a family.”Drawing on natural law, social science, and lived experience, Katy makes the case that marriage and family are first matters of justice for the young. Her book Them Before Us: Why We Need a Global Children’s Rights Movement (Post Hill Press, 2021), co-authored with Stacy Manning, expands this argument in depth.

  • Christian Apologetics Has a Problem

    Christian Apologetics Has a Problem
    Jan 22 2026
    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. Joining him are Northern Irish apologist and civil servant Gareth Black, OCCA speaker and war studies postgraduate Sara Stevenson, and US-based YouTuber Mike Jones (Inspiring Philosophy). Together they wrestle with expertise, overreach, and epistemic humility—alongside the promise of friendship, local church discipleship, and better science communication. Is the “conflict” narrative between science and faith finally fading? And what might a more relational, Bible-shaped apologetics look like in 2026? 0:00 – Apologetics After New Atheism 0:46 – Meet the Panel (Science + Faith) 4:06 – Science Problem in Christian Apologetics 5:12 – Genetics & Biology Revolution (CRISPR, AlphaFold) 7:43 – Creationism vs Science: Why It Hurts Faith 8:33 – Why Students Leave Church (Science vs Faith) 9:44 – Faraday Institute: Elite Christian Scientists 11:10 – Stop Platforming Non-Experts 13:16 – Genesis 1: Literalism vs Context 15:47 – Science vs Religion “War” Myth 18:45 – Social Media Apologetics: Pros & Cons 21:18 – Flat Earth Theology & Conspiracy Drift 28:02 – C.S.

  • Rod Dreher on Soft Totalitarianism and the Cost of Comfort

    Rod Dreher on Soft Totalitarianism and the Cost of Comfort
    Jan 15 2026
    Recorded in Premier’s new London studios, John Nelson welcomes Rod Dreher for a wide-ranging conversation about freedom, faith, and the West’s growing spiritual hunger. Drawing on his bestselling book Live Not By Lies, Dreher argues that today’s greatest threat is not Orwell-style tyranny but Huxley’s “soft totalitarianism” a culture that trades liberty for comfort, safety, and approval. Together, they explore the cost of discipleship, why suffering still matters (from Solzhenitsyn to Bonhoeffer), and how “therapeutic” Christianity leaves believers unprepared for pressure and loss. Dreher also reflects on meeting Nick Cave, the search for transcendence, and why many young adults are moving from scepticism to spirituality sometimes via the occult. He concludes by introducing themes from his new book Living in Wonder, calling Christians to recover beauty, liturgy, prayer, and a hopeful (not naïve) vision for the future.

  • The World Isn’t Disenchanted - We Are | Malcolm Guite

    The World Isn’t Disenchanted - We Are | Malcolm Guite
    Jan 13 2026
    Malcolm Guite joins Luke Martin for a wide-ranging Unbelievable: The Interview conversation on poetry, faith, and the power of imagination. Known as a poet, priest, and academic (and former chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge), Guite reflects on the writers who shaped him from Augustine to Coleridge, and especially C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. Why does imagination matter for truth, not just feelings? And what happens to a culture when “reason” becomes narrow, utilitarian, and disenchanted? Guite engages the modern hunger for beauty, tradition, and meaning, arguing we don’t need to “re-enchant” the world so much as un-disenchant ourselves. He also shares what he’s writing next: an epic poetic retelling of the Arthurian cycle Galahad and the Grail: Merlin’s Isle (Volume 1), out in March 2026 - a retelling restoring the Christian bedrock of the Arthurian legend and the Holy Grail, inspired by the Inklings.

  • Decoding the Cosmos: Atheist Philosopher vs Christian Scientist on Fine-Tuning, Time, Incarnation & Alien Life Emily Qureshi-Hurst vs Sam McKee hosted by Andy Kind

    Decoding the Cosmos: Atheist Philosopher vs Christian Scientist on Fine-Tuning, Time, Incarnation & Alien Life Emily Qureshi-Hurst vs Sam McKee hosted by Andy Kind
    Jan 8 2026
    Can Christian faith survive a scientific age—or even thrive in it? Andy Kind explores physics, faith, and meaning with Cambridge philosopher Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst and scientist Sam McKee. Drawing on Emily’s new book Decoding the Cosmos, the conversation tackles cosmic fine-tuning, design arguments, the multiverse, the limits of physics, and whether science could ever deliver a true “theory of everything”. Emily explains why she is an atheist who rejects New Atheism, while Sam reflects on why Christianity remains the most coherent model of reality for him as a scientist. The discussion then moves into deeper territory—time, salvation, incarnation, and even the theological implications of alien life—raising profound questions about human uniqueness, divine action, and cosmic hope. A thoughtful, warm, and often surprising conversation for anyone curious about science, philosophy, and faith.

    Classic: Professor John Lennox and Dr John Vervaeke debate the future of AI - Will the AI God's rule us? Is AI the Antichrist?
    Jan 6 2026
    Rewind to this hot debate! What does it mean to be truly human in an age of artificial intelligence, declining religious belief, and rising spiritual hunger? Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox and cognitive scientist Dr John Vervaeke of the University of Toronto explore whether AI threatens or reveals our uniqueness, if meaning can exist without God, and whether spiritual transformation is possible in a post-religious age. Along the way, they challenge one another on the logos, consciousness, and the enduring power of the Book of Revelation. Lennox draws from his new book, God, AI and the End of History, to argue for a Christian vision of wisdom and hope.
