Unbelievable?' engages in fundamental questions on Christianity with the intention to openly discuss different opinions between Christians and non-believers.
This podcast has the major benefit of bringing together opposing views. Unlike many other shows you get to hear excellent quality interactions between (often) thoughtful people of opposing views grappling with truth.

Fantastic podcast. As a Christian this podcast has helped me understand the views of many other believers and non believers as they discuss and debate various topics to do with their world view. The host, Justin Breiley has a natural knack of being a fair and gifted mediator. Keep up the good work unbelievable.

Something Everyone Should Listen To
Listen to the debate
Derren Brown and Richard Coles discuss whether Christianity or atheism is the path to happiness
A great example of two people having a respectful conversation and discussing the big issues.

People using their brains!
Great debates from knowledgeable people. Good to know Christian faith still consistent with being a scientist or having an active mind!

It Changed My Mind
A fantastic podcast where a variety of guests discuss/debate a range of subjects. Personally I found that my views on certain subjects have been changed due to the debates on the show . Any of episodes that feature Bart Ehrman are must listen to episodes.

Needs a different description!
I arrived at this podcast after searching for ‘Hume and miracles’, on seeing the title: did Hume debunk Miracles. I was hoping to find a genuine scholastic and rational analysis of the argument and possible shortcomings or incorrect assumptions (think ‘In our time’). However this is not an academics debate, it is full of personal testimony, with little to no analysis of the argument. This is not to try and undermine what the podcast is doing, which I’m sure is great - it simply shouldn’t be labelled ‘Did Hume debunk Miracles?’

A masterclass in nuanced debate
Justin has won over atheist and theist alike with his clear non-partisan approach to intelligent discussion and thoughtful engagement. When mainstream media gets a justifiably bad rep for fake news and hysterical reporting and Christian media is sickly sweet and unreal this is a stand-out gem that all can learn from.

Awful
His treatment of Mark Driscoll was appalling and showed to me too much of his character to be taken serious.

Good, balanced and informative
The Unbelievable? podcast is usually high quality, robust debate on matters of Christian belief that gets beyond the tedious 'sky fairy' jibes and 'it takes a lot of faith to be an atheist' clichés. The range of subjects is quite wide. The contributors are usually engaging and courteous. And the discussions are well moderated by Justin Brierley.

A great show
For anyone open-minded (christian or non-christian) this is a really worthwhile podcast to listen to. Justin does a great job presenting a really great show.

Always so interesting
This Pod cast has helped me greatly stretch and challenge my faith. Any sceptic or believer with an interest in Christianity, Christian Theology or apologetics should give this a listen.

Just Fab !
Really love this podcast
It covers a wide range of philosophy and Theology
What's good is when those with opposing view points talk to each other with respect and decency. Although at times it doesn't go that way and can get heated but it adds to the excitement!

Thank you
Very good.

Meat not Milk
Justin Brierly and his guests have some really thought-provoking discussions about almost every area of Christianity. An excellent podcast...
2016-03-21
Interesting, but can get confusing at times!
Great to hear two sides to every argument and I'm glad it's kept dignified. So many 'arguments' descend into name calling and eye rolling; this show goes against the grain.

Excellent Discussions
Justin is an amazing host, and this provides an excellent, grace-filled platform for discussion and dialogue, and building relationships that will transform lives for the future!

Best podcast
Fantastic - the best podcast I've ever subscribed to. Really makes you think!

I took a punt on these podcasts as they sounded as if they offered some good debates for the intrigued atheist (and any one else interested in matters concerned within). I have since subscribed and love the debates. Balanced and interesting, the debates are thought provoking and varied throughout. Keep going as you now have a new non-religious fan!

One of my favourite podcasts
Have been listening to this show for years now. It's a great podcast. Consistently interesting topics with good balanced debate. As an atheist I just wish there was the equivalent for unbelievers.
2014-10-24
Wonderful
A great podcast. Fantastic topics and guests. Well worth a listen whatever you believe

So Healthy
These issues need healthy informed discussion. Justin does well at keeping the discussion civil and informative. Excellent.

Keep up the good work!
Amazing show

Debate is alive and kicking!
It's said religion is one of the topics you should never raise at dinner parties. Rubbish! Too many Christians dock their brains in at the church door on a Sunday. Listen to Justin's excellent and fair chairing of discussions on many different aspects of faith and scepticism and learn what a rational basis for both looks like. You may even start a good discussion yourself!

Excellent debate show.
Okay so there was this guy called Frodo Baggins, he took the One Ring and cast it into the fires of Mount Doom. I mean it's in a book so it must be true, right? All you doubters will be sorry when the King returns.
But seriously, a very interesting podcast and I listen every week. Naturally the religious apologetic fantasies are as absurd as ever but this show is never short of entertaining.
2012-03-10
Brilliant!
Great topics and guests for debate. Excellent hosting/chairmanship. Definitely worth checking out for a very informative and interesting listen.

A Real Eye-opener
I've only listened to three of these podcasts and have found them informative. The content of the podcasts give real food for thought on different views apart from Christians and broadens ones mind

Unique and brilliant show
Unbelievable is a fantastic program which receives thousands of downloads every week. I'm so glad that there is a context in the UK, where there is some healthy debate about Christianity, rather than just blind scepticism or blind faith. Bravo Justin!

Unique debate show
Justin does a wonderful job as host of 'Unbelievable'. He is as balanced as he can be - given that we're all biased to some extent . A rewarding listen and not as self-righteous as the critics are. I always enjoy David Robertson's contributions when he's a guest. 'Intelligent Design the future' is also worth a listen.
2010-08-26
Great.
A refreshing and balanced look at a wide range of religious questions and beliefs, with all schools of thought given equal opportunity to air their views.
2010-01-12
Worth listening to, likes to balance both sides
Leans on the Christian side, but the moderator is very fair and allows both sides of the argument to be heard without judgement.

A wonderful insight into the minds of the religious
I started listening to this podcast after hearing about a few atheist v christian debates that they held. However, I've found the debates where they get different religious folk into the room together to be by far the most entertaining. The episode regarding interfaith week was fascinating. The different brands (and occasionally sub-brands) of religion loathe and despise each other more than they hate the atheists. That these people can get so furiously worked up against each other by their blind devotion to their own brand of dogma is profoundly sad.

Of course you are aware that your comment could be reversed? I could easily say that the show reveals the mindset of atheism and that it makes me glad I'm a Christian. But this has nothing to do with whether it's true or not. But still a nice quip.

Unbelievable? - yes
A very informative insight into the Christian mindset, that makes me so glad that I am an atheist
