The shocking death of Charlie Kirk has left a void in the public square. However you felt about his politics or style, he was a figure unafraid to step into hostile spaces, defend his Christian faith, and face opponents head-on. From the Oxford Union to U.S. campuses, Kirk embodied a willingness to disagree openly at a time when many retreat to echo chambers.
In this week's show Premier Unbelievable?'s Billy Hallowell is joined by Os Guinness and Krish Kandiah to reflect on Kirk’s legacy, the controversies, and the reckoning his loss demands. How do we preserve free speech without fear? How do we turn down the temperature in our debates? And can we recover the art of disagreeing agreeably in a polarised age? To keep bringing you conversations like this — with a wide range of voices and remarkable guests — why not consider supporting the production of more Unbelievable? podcasts

In this episode Pastor Chris Gordon and guest Pastor Mike Abendroth discuss the critical distinction between the Law and Gospel. They explore why conversations about Christ can be less popular than discussions of the Law, and how a proper understanding of both is essential for a healthy Christian life. The discussion covers topics such as the motivation for obedience, the importance of a pastor's self-awareness of their own fallen nature, and the importance of preaching God's grace. They also discuss how the Law-Gospel distinction helps us interpret Scripture, from the books being opened in Revelation to Jesus turning water into wine in John 2. The conversation touches on practical applications for parenting and avoiding the self-righteous pitfalls of modern church culture, emphasizing that true biblical strength is found in many ways the world considers weak. They conclude by reflecting on what is most important to hear on one's deathbed: the good news of Christ.
