Honest conversations connecting theology with everyday life, church leadership, discipleship, and the questions Christians face in the public square.
Unfiltered & Unapologetic Podcast brings Christian theology into conversation with everyday life and the questions shaping the church today. With a focus on public theology, the show connects Christian convictions with personal choices, congregational life, and engagement in the wider world.
Episodes explore discipleship, healthy church leadership, spiritual accountability, and the relationship between pastors and their congregations. Conversations also address legalism, faith deconstruction, racial divisions in churches, political convictions, and the influence of social media on Christian belief. Discussions of Church of Christ issues examine doctrinal questions, cultural tensions, and experiences within that tradition.
The conversational format includes guest perspectives and direct questions about subjects listeners may find difficult to raise in church. For Christians wrestling with doubt, evaluating spiritual influences, or seeking deeper connections between belief and practice, Unfiltered & Unapologetic offers candid discussions that encourage reflection, spiritual maturity, and meaningful dialogue.
