Coming to Faith through Dawkins Part 1: Has New Atheism Failed? | Alister McGrath & Alex OConnor Premier Unbelievable? 2023-09-01 | 🌟 Unbelievable? 🌟Prepare for a captivating journey through history as Unbelievable? delves deep into the question: "Did New Atheism Fail?" Two intellectual titans, Alister McGrath, one of the world's foremost theologians, and Alex O’Connor, the Oxford-educated philosopher and celebrated YouTuber, engage in a thought-provoking debate that transcends time.📚 Exploring "Coming to Faith Through Dawkins" 📚This discussion is ignited by the release of the groundbreaking book "Coming to Faith Through Dawkins," edited by Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath, hitting shelves on August 29, 2023. In its pages, the world's sharpest minds from Australia, South Africa, Egypt, the USA, and the UK come together to share a remarkable commonality: Richard Dawkins and the New Atheists played a pivotal role in their conversion to Christianity.🌎 A Global Perspective on Faith and Reason 🌍Despite diverse backgrounds and cultural influences, these individuals once ardently championed the ideas of the New Atheists, only to become disillusioned by Dawkins' arguments and conclusions. Their journeys led them to scrutinise religious faith with newfound objectivity, revealing that the fallacies Dawkins warned of simply do not exist.🧠 Meet the Debaters: 🧠Alister McGrath: A former atheist turned theologian, McGrath's journey to Christianity began during his studies in the natural sciences at Oxford University. With a storied career that includes roles such as Professor of Historical Theology at Oxford and President of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, McGrath is renowned for his intellectual prowess. His internationally acclaimed textbook, "Christian Theology: An Introduction," translated into twenty languages, is just one testament to his impact. Stay tuned for his upcoming release, "Christian Apologetics: An Introduction."Alex O’Connor: As a YouTuber and host of the Within Reason Podcast, O’Connor's mission is to make philosophy accessible to all. A graduate of philosophy and theology from St. John’s College, Oxford University, he has fearlessly defended his philosophical convictions against experts worldwide. His online content has garnered over seventy million views, and he's a sought-after international public speaker and debater.🔔 Join the Conversation! 🔔Don't miss this intellectual clash of the titans as they reexamine the legacy of New Atheism and its impact on faith and reason.

Should we deconstruct or reconstruct? with Olivia Jackson, Preston Ulmer and Vince Vitale Premier Unbelievable? 2023-07-21 | Unbelievable takes on the often-misunderstood topic of deconstruction in the sense of deconstructing Christian faith or becoming exvangelical is another phrase you might have come across.It refers to a process, some would say a movement, where individuals critically examine their beliefs, doctrines, and assumptions about Christianity. It often involves re-evaluating traditional interpretations of scripture, exploring different theological perspectives, and grappling with doubts and uncertainties.Many proponents of deconstruction argue that it can lead to a deeper and more authentic faith by shedding outdated or harmful beliefs and embracing a more personal and nuanced understanding of spirituality. Critics, on the other hand, express concerns that deconstruction can result in a crisis of one's most foundational beliefs crumble beneath them.But is this at all surprising? With failures of the church to reflect Jesus, with abuse by Christian leaders in the news daily, where is one to turn? Will deconstruction take you deeper? Or will it destroy your belief altogether? Vince Vitale hosts this week, and his guests are Olivia Jackson author of (un) Certain A Collective Memoir of Deconstructing Faith and Preston Ulmer, founder of The Doubters Club and author of Deconstruct Faith Discover Jesus - how questioning your religion can lead you to a healthy and holy God.Olivia's book: amazon.co.uk/Certain-Collective-Memoir-Deconstructing-Faith/dp/0334063639Preston's book: amazon.co.uk/Preston-Ulmer/e/B098F92CQY/ref=aufs_dp_mata_dsk,instagram.com/ptulmer/,thedoubtersclub.com/startyourowndc• Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101• More shows, free eBook & newsletter: premierunbelievable.com• For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live• For online learning: premierunbelievable.com/training• Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow• Support us in the rest of the world: premierunbelievable.com/donate

Is violence ever justified? The dilemma of Nigeria’s Christians with Hassan John and Roger Bolton Premier Unbelievable? 2023-07-14 | More Christians are killed in Nigeria than in any other country in the world. According to the charity Open Doors almost nine in ten of the more than 5,600 Christians murdered worldwide during 2022 were in Nigeria. A report by the British Parliament, Nigeria: Unfolding Genocide? Three Years On, was released this week, and highlights the massacres. ‘When will the world wake up to the persecution of Nigerian Christians?’, asked a lone headline in the The Spectator magazine. Few other news outlets paid attention. This week, Unbelievable host Roger Bolton speaks to Archdeacon Hassan John, an Anglican minister from Jos in northern Nigeria who has lived through much of the violence. A former journalist, he is now a church leader and campaigner for religious liberty, who tries to bring reconciliation between Christians and Muslims in the region. Hassan recalls harrowing tales of near-miss encounters with Islamic extremists and on-going anti-Christian violence which continues to tear apart communities. He also discusses how he and other Christians attempt to work with Muslim in their communities to prevent the violence. The Unbelievable conversation will help listeners understand the complexity of the situation of Nigeria and beyond, as well as asking some of the bigger questions facing Christians being persecuted for their faith worldwide. Is it ever acceptable for Christians to respond to persecution with violence? How can Christians ever practice forgiveness and love for enemies who have killed or harmed their family and friends? And, more broadly, why does the Western media ignore the story in places like Nigeria? • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101• More shows, free eBook & newsletter: premierunbelievable.com• For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live• For online learning: premierunbelievable.com/training• Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow• Support us in the rest of the world: premierunbelievable.com/donate

Premier Unbelievable? 2023-07-07 | The Big Conversation - Episode 3 | Season 5It’s a widely held view that science and religion are in conflict, including and perhaps especially over how they approach one of life's most fundamental questions: what does it mean to be human?

Transgender to Transformed | Laura Perry Smalts shares her life-changing story with Billy Hallowell Premier Unbelievable? 2023-06-30 | Even in a time of culture wars and controversy about everything, there are few subjects as difficult to discuss as transgender rights. In less than a decade the number of young people identifying as trans has exploded, and with it the number of arguments about the subject. In British schools nearly 80% of teachers report trans-identified or non-binary students in their classroom. Supporters say being trans is innate, like being gay, and that this is like the gay-rights movement of 30 years ago, with lots of trans kids coming out of the closet to be themselves. Critics say being trans is not innate and that many kids are identifying as the opposite sex because it is cool, and because they are being indoctrinated by a new ideology, fed to them on social media and by activist teachers. The debates have become most heated when it comes to actual medical transitioning. In all of the disagreement, what frequently gets lost is the need for compassion for anyone struggling with dysphoria. But how far should compassion go? Should it allow any teenager who says they are trans to medically transition? What about the increasing number of studies showing that many such kids have other serious mental-health issues? Laura Perry Smalts who was born female, and lived as a young man for almost 9 years. She took cross-sex hormones for years and had two major surgeries. She now regrets ever having done it, has detransitioned, and wants to warn others of the dangers. She is here to tell her story. amazon.co.uk/Transgender-Transformed-Story-Transition-Truly/dp/1933591307This is a helpful article on the Living Out website on how to parent a child who is questioning their gender identity livingout.org/resources/articles/111/parenting-a-child-questioning-their-gender-identityThe Bayswater Support group helps parents whose children have some form of transgender of nonbinary identity https://www.bayswatersupport.org.ukA quick guide to the issue written for the Christian Medical Fellowship cmf.org.uk/resources/publications/content/?context=article&id=27357The Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine https://segm.orgTransgender Trend campaign against medical interventions for gender-questioning children https://www.transgendertrend.comGenspect is an international coalition of professionals and others critical of transgender treatment for gender dysphoria https://genspect.orgThe Clinical Advisory Network on Sex and Gender can-sg.org• Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101• More shows, free eBook & newsletter: premierunbelievable.com• For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live• For online learning: premierunbelievable.com/training• Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow• Support us in the rest of the world: premierunbelievable.com/donate

From Porn Star to Pastor: Joshua Broomes Journey of Redemption with Billy Hallowell Premier Unbelievable? 2023-06-23 | This week Premier Unbelievable delves into the extraordinary life transformation of Joshua Broome. In this gripping interview we unravel the tale of a man who reached the pinnacle of fame and fortune in the adult film industry, only to be left empty, broken, and yearning for something more. The interview has much to say to those struggling with addiction to porn, those caught up in creating it and those wondering what to do about its growing influence on our society. “I was one of the most successful adult film stars in the world," says Broome. "I obtained fame, wealth, and travelled the world all to find out that none of those would fill the emptiness in my heart. Then, I found Jesus." Billy Hallowell, host of Unbelievable?, peels back the layers of Joshua's remarkable journey, from his meteoric rise to be one of the top five male porn stars, with over 1,000 movies under his belt and numerous accolades, to his haunting realisation that success alone couldn't fill the void within his soul. Joshua describes 2012, the year he won male porn performer of the year, as the worst year of his life. Discover how Joshua found redemption in Jesus which led him eventually to become a pastor. Through his own experiences, he shares profound insights on how we can confront our past actions, and any shame attached to them, to embrace forgiveness and find true fulfilment. It’s a transformative personal narrative, which offers hope to those wanting to escape the grip of pornography, as well as a warning about the broader dangers of porn within society. joshuabroome.meInstagram instagram.com/iamjoshuabroome/?hl=enIf you would like someone to talk to about anything that has affected you by this show, please call Premier Lifeline our confidential helpline offering a listening ear, and emotional and spiritual support.

Occult & Demons: Is modern-day exorcism biblical? Ex-Psychic Jenn Nizza & Pastor Mike Signorelli Premier Unbelievable? 2023-06-16 | Is the occult just harmless fun? Or are there hidden dangers to alternative spirituality, satanism, and even new-age practices? Increasingly the debate is not about good vs evil but my truth vs your truth. Ex-psychic Jenn Nizza tells the story of her escape from the occult to Christianity to host Billy Hallowell journalist and author of 'Playing with Fire'. Joining the conversation is deliverance minister Mike Signorelli, lead pastor and founder of V1 Church based in New York City. So is popular culture capitalising on our interest in all things satanic and demonic, or leading us to it? Pauline follows the story of Pauline, an 18-year-old who has school stress, the climate crisis, and the general downfall of society weighing on her mind. This becomes even more complicated when she becomes pregnant from a one-night stand with Lukas, who turns out to be the devil. What's even more surprising is that this German original show has been green-lit by Disney+, the home of Pixar movies, Mickey Mouse, and National Geographic. So what’s going on here? Should we be pushing back against this obsession with evil, or just chilling out? And are we in danger of creating a future that no-one wants to live in?Jenn NizzaTiktok- @ExpsychichsavedYoutube- Jenn ex psychic, Facebook Page- ExpsychicsavedInstagram @expsychicsavedexpsychicsaved.comMike Signarellimikesignorelli.comamazon.com/Chaos-Clarity-No-Turning-Back/dp/1952602696• Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101• More shows, free eBook & newsletter: premierunbelievable.com• For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live• For online learning: premierunbelievable.com/training• Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow• Support us in the rest of the world: premierunbelievable.com/donate

Tim Keller: Life, Death, and Legacy with Lecrae, Pete Wehner, Krish Kandiah Premier Unbelievable? 2023-06-02 | Join us on Unbelievable presented by Ruth Jackson as we delve into the extraordinary life and work of the late Dr. Timothy J. Keller, a humble yet ambitious church leader who shaped faith in the modern world. Tim Keller's impact extends far beyond his time, as he fearlessly explored the intricate relationship between faith and culture. With City to City, and other nonprofit organisations he spearheaded, and as the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan alongside his wife Kathy, Keller seamlessly integrated ancient wisdom into the fabric of the modern city. With his quiet confidence and lack of defensiveness, he made faith thrilling and relevant, captivating hearts with timeless truths. As he neared the end of his journey, Keller taught us about death and dying well. He also shared invaluable advice from the book of Jeremiah: to live on the razor's edge, embrace audacious faith; invest rather than simply consume, leaving a lasting impact on others; and let go of the pursuit of reputation, recognising the fleeting nature of worldly acclaim. Unbelievable? discusses the life of Tim Keller, his style and impact, the question of suffering, how he refused to be drawn in but navigated the culture wars, and the wisdom he leaves through his many books. Unbelievable? show host Ruth Jackson is joined by three guests who knew and worked with Keller. Lecrae, Grammy award-winning hip-hop artist and actor; Dr. Krish Kandiah, author and social activist; and Pete Wehner, journalist and senior fellow at Trinity Forum all offer candid insights into the profound ways Keller impacted their lives both personally and through his extensive body of work. As always let us know what you think! We love to hear from you so get in touch if you have stories to share. And enjoy this edition of Unbelievable as we honour Tim Keller life and legacy and the far-reaching influence of his ministry. • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101• More shows, free eBook & newsletter: premierunbelievable.com• For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live• For online learning: premierunbelievable.com/training• Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow• Support us in the rest of the world: premierunbelievable.com/donate

Life, Equality, and Choice: The Abortion Debate | Ann Furedi & Dr. Calum Miller Premier Unbelievable? 2023-05-26 | Get ready for a riveting episode of Unbelievable? part of our ongoing series Rights of Life and Death. Today in The Abortion Debate: Life, Equality, and Choice, we're diving headfirst into the contentious and thought-provoking topic of abortion. What does it mean to say that life begins? What would it take for the fetus or the child to have a right to life, and for this to outweigh the mother’s right to choice? How do we determine moral value? It's a debate that strikes at the very core of life, equality, and personal choice. Brace yourselves as we navigate the delicate balance between the rights of the child and the rights of the mother.Joining us on this electrifying debate led by moderator Roger Bolton are two extraordinary guests. First, we have Ann Furedi, a leading global pro-choice advocate for almost 40 years, who worked for 17 years as CEO of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service. She has written extensively on the ethics of abortion and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences by the University of Kent. Her groundbreaking book, 'The Moral Case for Abortion: A Defense of Reproductive Choice,' lays out the moral arguments empowering women to make decisions about their pregnancies. But that's not all. Presenting the Christian worldview and opposing abortion on demand is Dr. Calum Miller, an NHS doctor and an unwavering pro-life advocate. With a medical degree from the prestigious University of Oxford and a deep understanding of philosophy and biblical studies, Dr. Miller brings a unique insight into the intricacies of abortion policy in practice. He's here to challenge our assumptions and shed light on the moral value of the unborn.In this high-voltage discussion, we'll explore the burning questions that lie at the heart of the abortion debate. When does life truly begin? Is there ever a justifiable reason to take another life? How do we assign moral value to the unborn? And are there conditions that would tip the scales in favour of granting the fetus a right to life that supersedes a mother's right to choice?Hold on tight as we unpack the very definitions of 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice' and their profound implications for the beginning of life, human equality, and personal autonomy. We won't shy away from the tough questions, including the role of women's choice and the intersection of abortion with women's equality. And for those wondering if men should have a voice in this conversation, we'll address that too.Prepare for an exhilarating, thought-provoking, and mind-expanding discussion. Tune in to this week's episode of Unbelievable as we embark on a quest to unravel the intricate threads of the abortion debate. Don't miss out on this explosive episode.As always we want to hear what you think, perhaps you have a story or a testimony to share?

The Assisted Dying Debate | Roger Bolton with Dr. Ellen Wiebe and Dr. Mark Pickering Premier Unbelievable? 2023-05-19 | Should anyone be eligible for medical assistance in dying? "Choosing Death: Assisted Dying, Assisted Suicide, Murder – Who Decides?"Should the power to decide be granted to everyone when it comes to medical assistance in dying? A recent Canadian survey sheds light on the attitudes towards euthanasia and assisted dying, revealing startling statistics. Poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and disability – these factors, according to the Canadian survey, justify access to euthanasia for a significant portion of the population. Shocking, but perhaps not surprising is that the younger generation, in particular, supports these views, with percentages reaching as high as 41% for reason of poverty, and 60% for being disabled. Death and dying have always been subjects that people tend to avoid discussing, but they demand our attention. Assisted dying, in particular, is a challenging and highly emotional topic that cannot be ignored. Each culture holds its own beliefs and attitudes towards the inevitable. Often, we are thrust into this discussion by circumstances – a close friend, a family member, or a beloved person falling severely ill, either gradually or suddenly. As Christians, it is crucial for us to engage in conversations about death. When is the right time to die?Some argue that doctors should have the authority to provide medical assistance in dying. In Canada, laws surrounding assisted dying are expanding to include various situations where individuals have the right to choose death, even without a terminal illness. However, should doctors, who are meant to heal, be asked to take lives? And what does Christianity have to say about this contentious issue? Is it our prerogative to determine the timing of our own death?Join Roger Bolton as he hosts this vital discussion, featuring UK-based Dr. Mark Pickering from the Christian Medical Fellowship and Canadian doctor Ellen Wiebe.Dr Mark Pickering is the Chief Executive of CMF (UK/Ireland). He is based in London where he also works as a secure environment GP (in prisons and similar institutions). He has a long term interest in bioethics and often speaks on behalf of the Care Not Killing Alliance. He has previously worked as a hospice junior doctor.Links:www.ourdutyofcare.org.uk; www.carenotkilling.org.uk; www.dyingwell.co.uk; www.cmf.org.uk Articles:cmfblog.org.uk/2022/11/25/canadas-home-maid-disasterCanada’s home MAiD disaster? | CMF Blogs – by Dr Trevor StammersPeople facing 'unjust' conditions have right to euthanasia: ethicists | National Post – recent Canadian article highlighting the issues of poverty and mental health that we discussed.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canada-medical-aid-in-dyingDr. Ellen Wiebe is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Family Practice at the University of British Columbia.

Coronation Controversy: The Disestablishment Debate | Dr. Jonathan Chaplin & Catherine Pepinster Premier Unbelievable? 2023-05-05 | This week on Unbelievable’s Coronation special Roger Bolton asks how important is the established Church of England to the fabric of life in the United Kingdom and beyond? Does King Charles as Supreme Governor of the Church of England have divine purpose? Academic and author Dr. Jonathan Chaplin of Wesley House, Cambridge suggests we should ditch the religious aspects of the Coronation to better reflect multicultural Britain. Catherine Pepinster author and broadcaster argues the sacral aspects of the Coronation act as a enduring symbol of the country's heritage. Will King Charles III embrace Christianity as a guiding force in his reign? Should he forge a new path for a changing nation? And what is the role of the established church in public life? Catherine Pepinster is an author and expert on the history of coronations, and was editor of the Catholic Tablet journal for over 13 year. She is the author of Defenders of the Faith - The British Monarchy, Religion and the Next Coronation and explains the significance of the deeply sacred Christian event and the unifying role it can play in the nation and beyond. Dr. Jonathan Chaplin wrote Beyond Establishment - Resetting Church-State relations in England and - as a committed Christian and Anglican - proposes a radical rethinking, of the relationship between the Church and the state.
