I love God. I have questions. And that’s okay. Unmending Faith is a space for faithful doubt and thoughtful belief. My name is Wanipa, and this podcast explores what it means to question deeply, hold tension, and revisit what we’ve always held about God, Scripture, and the church. Through honest conversations and thoughtful reflection, it makes room for complexity, curiosity, and growth. This is a journey without a guaranteed endpoint —but you’re welcome to come along. Whether your faith feels uncertain, in-between, or even out of reach, you’re welcome here.

    004 - Did God Change? Ft. Xoli Belgrave

    Can a truly loving God also be violent? In Episode 4 of Unmending Faith, I’m joined by Xoli Belgrave as we explore one of Christianity’s most difficult questions: whether the God of the Old Testament is truly consistent with the God revealed in Jesus. Together, we wrestle with judgement, mercy, and what it means to call God good in light of the passages we’d often rather avoid. Ignoring these questions won’t make them disappear. So what do we do when the version of God we’ve inherited no longer feels morally uncomplicated? This conversation is all about Scripture, tension, and the ongoing work of learning who God really is. Honestly.

    003 - Is Belief a Performance? ft. Curtis Powell

    Where does genuine conviction end, and social conditioning begin…? In Episode 3 of Unmending Faith, I’m joined by Curtis Powell to explore the tension between authentic belief and performed belief — and the ways conformity, expectation, and the desire to belong shape religious spaces. Together, we reflect on certainty, social conditioning, community, and what happens when appearing spiritually “okay” becomes safer than honesty. Not because people are fake. Not because faith isn’t real. But because human beings are undeniably influenced by the communities they exist in. This conversation is all about belonging, influence, tension, and the necessary work of unmending.

    002 - Who taught you God? Faith, Formation & Spiritual Inheritance ft. Shade

    Most of us don’t choose our first beliefs; we inherit them. In Episode 2 of Unmending Faith, I’m joined by my wonderful guest, Shade, to explore faith formation and spiritual inheritance — how our understanding of God is shaped by family, culture, community, and the environments we grow up in. Together, we reflect on inherited beliefs, personal faith, and what happens when we begin to question the things we’ve always known. This conversation is all about identity, influence, tension, and the ongoing work of unmending.

    001 - Doubt is Allowed: The Beginning of Unmending Faith

    In this first episode, I share a personal reflection on my journey so far and how I got to the place of starting this podcast. I explore what it felt like to start asking questions about my faith I thought were too big to ask, and the tension of holding on while everything felt uncertain. I’m beginning to realise that doubt doesn’t have to signal the end of faith, but the start of something more honest. There’s a beauty in the wrestling. If that resonates with you, you’re not alone.
