Send us Fan Mail We wrestle with whether church is truly a safe space for honest conversations and why it can feel welcoming at first but unsafe once your business leaves the building.

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever tried to live a life of abstinence and felt your body arguing back, you’re not alone and you’re not crazy. We sit down for one of our most unfiltered conversations yet as Shay shares her real celibacy journey, including the years of doing “seven months strong” then breaking, the nightly urges, and the quiet triggers that don’t look sinful until they pull you into te...

Send us Fan Mail When you look around church and mostly see women, it raises a bigger question than dating: what happened to the men, and what does church feel like from their side? We get real about why the gender gap shows up so strongly in many UK churches, from the way boys and girls are raised around faith to the subtle messages churches send about who belongs and who leads. We dig into the h...

Send us Fan Mail Dee’s story starts with a request: record the conversation, then hold it until later. We did and now we’re sharing it with heavy hearts, because Dee has since passed away. What you’re about to hear is a moving testimony about stroke survival, faith under pressure, and the kind of resilience you don’t learn until life forces you to. Please note there’s a trigger warning for health...

We read key Bible texts about food offered to idols, talk honestly about conviction, and share practical ways to respond without fear or judgement. Support the show 🎙️ Enjoying the podcast?

Send us Fan Mail Fish on Good Friday shows up like clockwork, but most of us were never told why. This conversation uncovers the real origin: it’s not rooted in Scripture or early faith, but in Roman Catholic tradition, which spread globally through colonisation, including into ethnic households. What started as a church-imposed practice of abstaining from meat on Fridays, with fish as a substitut...

Send us Fan Mail We respond to a listener question about disability and the church, and we get honest about the gap between “access” and true belonging. We share personal stories from visual impairment and hearing loss to challenge churches to plan weekly for inclusion, not once a year.  • wheelchair access as a good start but not the finish  • visual impairment challenges with glare and unreadabl...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Unfiltered Christian Podcast, Cece addresses the complex issue of salvation in the context of marriage, particularly when one spouse is a believer, and the other is not.

Send us Fan Mail In this conversation, Cece and Shay explore the complexities of sexual desires, particularly in the context of Christian beliefs and societal influences. They discuss whether men and women have similar needs to 'get it out of their system' before marriage, the cultural pressures surrounding sexual behaviour, and the importance of celibacy and prayer in navigating these c...

Send us Fan Mail The news cycle is loud, but fear doesn’t get the final word. We dive into Jesus’ warnings about “wars and rumours of wars” and ask a sharper question: how do we stay watchful without being consumed by worry? From UK emergency alerts to rising global tension, we trace how scripture interprets our moment and why “do not be troubled” is an invitation into practised peace, not passive...

Send us Fan Mail Temptation doesn’t usually kick the door down; it whispers. We start with the everyday mind battles—chocolate on the table, a scroll that turns into an hour, the urge to clap back—and trace how a moment of pressure becomes a pattern. From there, we zoom out to the bigger map: the difference between the devil’s nudge and our decision, why responsibility is not shame but power, and...

Send us Fan Mail A quiet ask at the supermarket entrance turned into a hard look at my own heart. A woman stopped me and asked for knickers—not cash, not sympathy, just a basic need met with dignity. I did the mental maths, offered the cheapest option, and then walked away when she chose the pair that would actually serve her. Minutes later I still had money in my hand, conviction in my chest, and...

Send us Fan Mail What if the most powerful youth ministry in London doesn’t start on a stage, but on a sofa? We dive into a hard truth: while many Christian communities are giving young people room to lead, London’s Adventist churches often lose teens right when they need belonging most. Rather than staying stuck in complaint mode, we unpack why this gap exists—migration out of the city, ageing le...

Send us Fan Mail Grief has a way of exposing what we’ve carefully hidden—especially when a funeral puts estranged family at the same table. I share how a long goodbye stretched my emotions thin, how a simple act of kindness from my sister disarmed my defences, and why the hug I thought I wanted felt impossibly heavy. This isn’t a tidy redemption arc; it’s the slow, honest work of naming pain, owni...

Send us Fan Mail Send us a text The controversial practice of speaking in tongues creates division among believers, with some embracing it as divine connection and others questioning its biblical basis. Shay and Cece fearlessly tackle this topic, sharing their personal journeys of discomfort and discovery. Shay recounts her first encounter with tongue-speaking at a youth Bible study. "I assum...

Send us Fan Mail Send us a text We tackle the challenging question of why a good God allows evil and suffering in the world, exploring the tension between divine goodness and human freedom. • Free will is essential for genuine love to exist—God gives us the freedom to choose good or evil • Sin is sin in God's eyes—we shouldn't measure some sins as worse than others while minimizing our o...
