Off-duty police men in Bogota, Columbia shoot street children because they consider them to be “disposables”. Using stories such as this Mark Roques asks whether value in human life can be found anywhere other than our being made “In the image of God”.
Atheist Paul Thompson argues that we don’t need a supernatural explanation for the value we place on human beings.
They discuss the issue of where human value comes from and Mark’s “Subversive Questions and storytelling” method of apologetics.

Tim recently spent a few weeks researching AI misinformation in the church context for a newspaper article, and that serves as the jumping-off point for today’s conversation.
Recorded at Aylesbury High School, Sam McKee hosts a lively Unbelievable? Podcast schools debate on one of life’s biggest questions: are we really free?
Tim is away this week, so we’re dipping into the MOLAD archive for a classic episode from 2024. Culture is increasingly interested in psychedelic drugs.
Why isn’t God more obvious? In this episode of Premier Unbelievable, host John Nelson is joined by Dan Paterson(Questioning Christianity) and Joe Schmid (agnostic philosopher, Princeton doctoral researcher and YouTuber at Majesty of Reason) to tackle the argument from divine hiddenness.
Is Christian nationalism biblically sound - or dangerously divisive? In this episode, John Nelson hosts Doug Wilson and Dr Michael Bird for a high-stakes debate on what Christian politics should look like in a plural, polarised democracy. Should nations be explicitly Christian, or does that threaten freedom, minorities, and even faith itself? From pluralism and liberty to the risks of coercion, this conversation tackles the future of faith and politics.
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.
