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’.

SINGLE: Holy Virginity
The pursuit of celibacy is seen as strange, taboo, and repressive in modern society. But that's what David Bennett, a gay man, decided, after becoming a Christian during a night out in Sydney's gay quarter.
Since then, he's become a scholar of "holy virginity", and the queerness of his Lord, Jesus. This is his story. -
SINGLE: Cancel Culture
At the heart of cancel culture is a desire to combat injustice, and expose flaws within society. This is a good thing ... but as recent history has shown, there is a lack of forgiveness at the heart of the movement. This is where Christianity can help.

French Atheism
For the final episode of season X, we're taking a deep dive into the global centre of Atheism - France. How did this once-Christian nation become such a lightning rod for the belief that there is no God? And how are the "French" ways of thinking drawing some people back to belief in Christianity?

Question Answer X
Aliens, more Old Testament violence, and ... The Devil.
Our tenth question-and-answer episode was one of the toughest yet for John.
Make sure you head to our website to ask a question yourself if you want to pick Johns brain on air! -
12 Objects
The story of Christianity is full of wonderful highs and terrible lows. It's truly an epic - and it takes an epic round-the-world adventure to tell its story properly. Thankfully, we have a man who's done just that. This is the story of Christianity, from the crucifixion to the modern day, told through 12 key objects.

Jewish Jesus
Christianity wasn't always its own religion - the first Christians were, in fact, Jewish ... because Jesus was Jewish! How do we then understand the Jewishness of Jesus? How was his movement different to other Jewish movements?
Customer Reviews
Fills a huge gap
Undeceptions tackles important and often difficult issues with thought, care and thoroughness. It has challenged my views and increased my understanding. More please.
Too Good to Miss!
John looks to life, faith, history, culture and ethics, and experts therein, in search of the truth (recognising Jesus to be The Truth).
A consummate communicator, he speaks equally to people of all faiths and none and leaves us with something to think about and reflect on.
John has shaped my understanding of the world and how my beliefs cause me to interact with it: he has challenged my understanding of myself, my senses and feelings, my faith, my motives, and my very purpose in life!
Sick of misinformation and disinformation? Come and be ‘Undeceived’!
Food for thought
How refreshing to have a podcast challenge my thought on life and spirituality. The session on growing older has given me a much needed fresh view on my mum’s dementia, and I am very very grateful for the challenges to look on aging in a new way.
