The 7 Best Christian Apologetics Podcasts in 2026

Updated June 2026 · by the Episode Club team

Sooner or later every Christian gets a question they can't answer on the spot — from a coworker, a college kid home for the summer, or the quiet voice in their own head at 2 a.m. Apologetics podcasts exist for exactly that moment, and the good ones treat hard questions as worth real answers rather than quick comebacks. The shows below are the ones we'd actually hand to a friend: a philosopher who has spent a career honing the arguments, a cold-case detective who treats the Gospels like evidence, a former CCM singer who walked through her own crisis of faith, and a British dialogue show that puts skeptics and Christians at the same table without shouting. Some are short and practical; some go deep. All of them were still releasing new episodes the week we checked in June 2026. And if you'd rather not chase seven feeds, Episode Club can send you what's new from all of them in one weekly email.

1
Unbelievable?
Premier Unbelievable?
The long-running Premier show that seats a Christian and a skeptic at the same table and lets them actually talk. Recent episodes pair John Lennox on Dawkins and AI with a Francis Collins–N.T. Wright conversation on science and faith.
2
Reasonable Faith Podcast
William Lane Craig
Philosopher William Lane Craig works through arguments for God, the resurrection, and listener objections with patient precision. His Question of the Week segment — now past #990 — is a standing lesson in answering honest doubt without dodging.
3
Stand to Reason Weekly Podcast
Greg Koukl
Greg Koukl, author of Tactics, has spent four decades teaching Christians to ask better questions. Each hour-long episode takes real listener calls on theology and ethics, modeling how to stay gracious when a conversation gets prickly.
4
The Cold-Case Christianity Podcast
J. Warner Wallace
J. Warner Wallace spent decades closing cold-case murders, then turned the same forensic method on the Gospels. Recent episodes test deconstruction claims and viral TikTok atheism against evidence, calmly and without rancor.
5
The Alisa Childers Podcast
Alisa Childers
A former ZOEgirl singer who weathered her own crisis of faith, Childers interviews authors and scholars on progressive Christianity, deconstruction, and hard cultural questions. Warm and direct — especially helpful if someone you love is drifting.
6
Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith & Culture
Talbot School of Theology at Biola University / Sean McDowell & Scott Rae
Sean McDowell and Scott Rae of Biola's Talbot School pair substantial scholar interviews — Carl Trueman was a recent guest — with a Friday cultural-update episode that reads the week's news through a careful Christian lens.
7
Mama Bear Apologetics
Hillary Morgan Ferrer & Amy Davison
Hillary Morgan Ferrer and Amy Davison equip parents for the questions kids actually bring home — miracles, the problem of evil, the moral argument — in friendly, jargon-free conversations that hold up just as well for grown-ups.
