188. The Pagans

October 25, 2026 · 1 hr 21 min

The modern world was supposed to leave magic behind. But a new generation is searching for enchantment in paganism, folklore, and the supernatural. What’s driving this spiritual interest? Is it a doorway to darker practices, or could it…
187. On Slavery

September 13, 2026 · 1 hr 24 min

What in the world do we do about slavery in the Bible? We shouldn’t rush to William Wilberforce and the Christian abolitionists so quickly that we gloss over an uncomfortable fact: Christians really did use the Bible to keep slaves in…
186. Question Answer XVII

September 6, 2026 · 45 min

What do we do when we discover our so-called ‘Christian heroes’ did abhorrent things? What’s the difference between the soul and the spirit? Where does the idea of being a ‘missionary’ come from? Is the God of the Old Testament just a…
185: Dis / Ability

August 30, 2026 · 1 hr 17 min

We have a troubled relationship with disability. Even the term ‘disability’ is contested. Perhaps disability is something to inspire us. Or something that calls for our compassion. Or simply something to accept and let be. How should we…
184. Forgive Us

August 23, 2026 · 1 hr 19 min

Christianity has a bit to say about ‘forgiveness’, both on a theological and a sociological level. In short, God forgives us, and Christians are therefore called to extend this forgiveness to those who’ve wronged them. But this raises a…

183. With Lennox

August 17, 2026 · 1 hr 14 min

John Lennox is one of Christianity’s greatest living “Undeceivers”. His Irish charm, kindness, and general approachability defuse even the most intense debates - and he’s had many intense debates in his lifetime (Dawkins!…
182. Tough Texts

August 9, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min

The Bible is full of tough texts that can be off-putting to the curious sceptic. But at its best, Christianity stands smiling in the ring of history, science, culture, ethics, and all the rest, and invites anyone to take a swing. Don’t let…
181. Beautiful Maths

August 2, 2026 · 60 min

Almost everyone can remember the exact moment they gave up on mathematics. But for those who persist, many don’t just find maths useful; they find it beautiful. Some even go so far as to claim that mathematics is the ‘language of God’. FOR…
180. On Hildegard

July 26, 2026 · 1 hr 13 min

It’s high time for an episode on the fabulous Hildegard of Bingen. This remarkable 12th-century nun’s work covered a vast amount of ground: she wrote about ecclesiastical history, science, medicine, botany, mineralogy and petrology…
179. Spiritual ≠ Religious

July 19, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min

The West might be becoming less ‘religious’, but according to many it’s becoming a lot more ’spiritual’. In fact, “spiritual but not religious” is described as a “rapidly growing faith group” in America, with as many as 20 per cent of…
178. Against Ambition

July 13, 2026 · 58 min

High performers - athletes, business professionals, artists, and the like - inspire and motivate us. They give us benchmarks to strive for and show us what sort of life we might lead if we were the “greatest of all time” in a given…
SINGLE: Good Missionary?

June 25, 2026 · 31 min

Africa is home to over 1.5 billion people and some of the fastest-growing economies in the world, but it still faces vast challenges. Thousands of missionaries have moved to Africa and made it their life’s work to help bring about…

About the show

Every week on Undeceptions we’ll explore some aspect of life, faith, history, culture, or ethics that is either much misunderstood or mostly forgotten. With the help of people who know what they’re talking about, we’ll be trying to ‘undeceive ourselves’ and let the truth ‘out’.
