Undeceptions with John Dickson
Undeceptions LtdEvery 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’.

Almost everyone can remember the exact moment they gave up on mathematics.
But for those who persist, many don’t just find maths useful; they find it beautiful.
Some even go so far as to claim that mathematics is the ‘language of God’.

- Volume levels
Hi guys. Love the podcast. I have been listening in the car to the latest Wes episode and the volume has been super loud when John talks and then super quiet in others. It’s been frustrating having to adjust volume all the time. Is this something that can be changed in the future. I listen to lots of podcasts and don’t have this issue. Cheers and keep up the great work. Matt

Australia3 months ago - Best Christian Podcast
Podcast is very well produced. I have subscribed and unsubscribed to many Christian podcasts, as when I listened I couldn’t keep engaged for very long. This podcast is different. It’s almost always very interesting and makes me think and take action in my life. I want to get through all the past episodes.

Just listened to the episode on friendship this afternoon. I’m not a stranger to the seriousness of the subject matter, the tone and challenging content than John and team present each episode, but this one blindsided me! I have been profoundly moved by your message here and I am so grateful for that. Genuinely, thank you 🙏🏻
Apple Podcasts5SlanderousOwlAustralia6 months ago - Intellectual + Spiritual
I love how JD and the crew can make any topic interesting! I never would’ve thought I’d enjoy an episode titled “History of Chemistry” or “Jane Austen”. American politics make it seem like reason and faith can’t be reconciled, and these guys regularly show how false of a dichotomy that is. If we really believe that God created “all that is seen and unseen”, then studying his beautiful world isn’t simply a nice add-on, but a mandate and an act of worship. This podcast shows us how to be a 21st ce... more
Apple Podcasts5Zr2000United States6 months ago - Right up my spiritual and intellectual alley!
I’ve been diving into John Dickson‘s podcasts and videos and I am finding them to be “right up my intellectual an spiritual alley.” Too many Christian writers start from an assumed foundation of faith…not John, he builds faith from the ground up… which is just what people like me need when we have been trying hard almost all our lives to build a home base of faith, not founded on a faith rooted in one’s earlier years (which I didn’t have). Keep on pursuing absolute truth as the foundation of wha... more
