Unbelievable?

Rahil Patel spent 20 years as a Hindu monk, pursuing God through prayer, fasting, pilgrimage and strict spiritual discipline. But beneath his success as a respected teacher, troubling questions remained. Then, after a series of unexpected encounters with Christianity, Rahil walked into a London church and experienced the moment that changed his life.
He joins Luke Martin on the Unbelievable podcast to share his remarkable journey from Hindu monasticism to faith in Jesus, and why moving from karma and striving to grace proved so difficult. They also explore what Christians misunderstand about Hinduism, whether all religions are different paths to the same God, and Rahil’s provocative perspective on Christianity, British colonialism and modern India.
A fascinating conversation about spiritual longing, religious pluralism, grace, history and the search for God.

Artificial intelligence is changing far more than the way we work. Is it quietly changing what it means to be human?
As AI becomes our therapist, our teacher, our creative partner, even our romantic companion, are we handing over something uniquely human?
Professor Nigel Crook, one of the UK's leading AI researchers, and theologian Brian Brock go head-to-head over the biggest questions surrounding artificial intelligence.
In this conversation:
Could AI ever become conscious? Are AI girlfriends replacing real relationships? Is Silicon Valley creating a new religion? Why are Christians uniquely equipped to resist the attention economy? Will AI make us wiser... or slowly erode what makes us human?

Where did reality come from, where is it heading, and does any of it have meaning? In this live Unbelievable X Theora Media event, Jack Symes hosts a major conversation between four strikingly different thinkers: Christian philosopher William Lane Craig, Hindu scholar Jessica Frazier, philosopher Philip Goff and agnostic thinker Joe Folley. Craig argues that God is the best explanation for the universe, morality and human purpose. Folley questions whether meaning needs to be objective. Frazier challenges Western assumptions about God, matter and consciousness, while Goff reflects on mystical experience, psychedelics, suffering and his unexpected journey towards a form of theism. A wide-ranging debate on God, atheism, morality, consciousness and the story of everything.

What does Christianity really offer a world searching for God, meaning and moral clarity?
In this episode of Unbelievable? The Interview, Luke Martin speaks with Dr Brian Brock, Professor of Theology at the University of Aberdeen, about some of the most urgent questions facing Christians today: should Christians seek political power? Is the idea of a “Christian nation” faithful to the gospel, or does it risk confusing the church with the state? How should Christians think about war, violence, just war theory and political enemies?
Brock also brings the conversation into deeply personal territory, reflecting on his son Adam, who has Down syndrome and autism, and explaining why disability theology challenges our culture’s obsession with productivity, success and control. This is a powerful conversation about faith, politics, human dignity and the image of God in an age of spiritual hunger and public division.

Philip Pullman has called C.S. Lewis’s Narnia stories a “filthy lie” — but is that fair?
In this episode of Unbelievable, John Nelson is joined by Christian writer Caleb Woodbridge and science-fiction critic Damien Walter to explore Narnia, His Dark Materials, myth, imagination and the search for meaning in a secular age.
They discuss Pullman’s critique of Lewis, the “problem of Susan,” whether Christianity suppresses maturity or offers a deeper vision of reality, and why fantasy and science fiction continue to wrestle with God, goodness, suffering and hope.
Can stories reveal truth? Is Christianity simply one myth among many — or, as Lewis believed, the “true myth” behind them all?
