Undone

Brendon Scott and Mike Bettig

What does it actually take to find faith? What does it take to keep it? Not the polished version. Not the version that skips the doubt and the resistance and the seasons where everything felt distant or hollow. The real version - with all the texture and struggle and unexpected grace that most people never talk about out loud. That's what UNDONE is all about. Each episode, a pastor and a curious skeptic sit across from someone willing to share their story honestly. Not a triumphant highlight reel, but the whole journey - who they were before faith entered the picture, what first cracked the door open, what it felt like to walk through it, and what it takes to keep renewing that decision in the middle of an ordinary, complicated life. Because salvation isn't just a moment. It's a journey that begins in a moment and continues every single day after it. And the people who understand that best are the ones willing to talk about both - the arrival and the ongoing road. The show is hosted by two people who, on the surface, appear to see the world differently. One is a pastor who has walked this road for years and still finds new terrain on it. The other is a skeptic - genuinely, not performatively - who is somewhere in the middle of their own search and hasn't resolved it yet. Their dynamic isn't a device. It's the most honest thing about the show. Because for every listener who already believes, there are many more who are still watching, still weighing, still trying to figure out if any of this is worth the leap. UNDONE is for all of them. The name comes from Isaiah 6:5. The prophet encounters God and his immediate, involuntary response is: "Woe is me, for I am undone." Not a quiet, dignified surrender - undone. Unraveled by the encounter. And then restored by it. That word captures something true about what it means to find faith - not that it destroys you, but that it gets to the places in you that nothing else can reach. It undoes the version of you that didn't know what you know now. Every guest on this show has experienced some version of that. They arrived at faith by different roads, at different speeds, carrying different questions. Some came early. Some came late. Some are still on the way. But all of them have something worth hearing - for the person who believes, for the person who isn't sure, and for everyone in between. Whatever road you're on, there's a seat for you here.

    Laurie's Story: Running From the One Who Never Left

    Episode Summary Some people walk away from faith because it was never tested. Laurie walked away because it was tested too early, and too hard. In this first episode of UNDONE, Laurie takes us into the parts of her story most people keep locked away - childhood abuse that planted a deep, understandable distrust of God, and years lost to drugs and alcohol as she tried to outrun questions she couldn't answer and pain she couldn't name. She had every reason to stay cynical. Plenty of people would have. Instead, through the patience of friends who stayed close and the counsel of people who spoke into her life at the right moments, Laurie found her way to something she never expected: a surrendered life, and a faith that isn't naive about suffering but has somehow made peace with it. This isn't a tidy redemption story. It's a real one. Wherever you land on the spectrum of belief - devout, doubtful, done with religion altogether - Laurie's story is a case against giving up on the possibility that things can still turn. In This Episode How childhood trauma shapes (and distorts) our earliest ideas of GodThe long, winding road through addiction — and what it was really running fromWhat it looked like when the right people showed up at the right timeThe difference between "getting fixed" and actually surrenderingLearn more about Undone To learn more about Undone, support our work, or share your story, visit us at undonepod.com.

    What is Undone?

    Every podcast has an origin story. Here's ours... Pastors carry deeply guarded stories of the people they serve; stories that are shared in confidence - in hospital rooms and kitchen tables and parking lot conversations that stretch past midnight. Stories of people at the end of themselves, finding something they didn't expect. Stories of faith found late, doubt carried long, and grace arriving in the last place anyone thought to look. For years, Mike Bettig - co-host of Undone - walked away from those conversations renewed. Filled. Reminded of why any of his work matters. And then one day, a question formed that he couldn't shake: What if people could be a fly on the wall for this? Not a sermon. Not a testimony service. Just the real conversation - the one that happens when someone finally feels safe enough to tell the truth about their life. The before and the after. The struggle and the surrender. The doubt that still creeps in and the faith that gets chosen again anyway. That question is the seed that has become this podcast. In this trailer episode, hosts Mike and Brendon sit down to explain everything. Where this idea came from and why it wouldn't let go. Who they are - a pastor renewed by these stories for years, and a reluctant seeker encountering them for the first time. What each episode will look like. And why they named it what they named it. If you've ever wished you could sit in the room for the kind of conversation that changes people - you're about to get that chance.
