Unsettled, with Martin Nyanzu
Discovering belief is part of the human experience. It is okay to have relentlessness in the journey of finding faith. It is okay to be unsettled.
This podcast bridges the gap between faith and doubt through non-judgemental apologetic encounters in the public square, by offering believable reasons and reasons to believe.

How did we end up with 66 books in the Bible? Who decided? Why are Catholic and Protestant Bibles different? And what about the “lost books” like Tobit, Maccabees, or the Gospel of Thomas?
In this episode, we trace the real story behind the formation of the Bible’s canon — Old Testament, New Testament, and the controversial Apocrypha. No conspiracy theories. Just history, theology, and the providence of God.You’ll discover:
- OT Canon: How Israel recognized Scripture before Jesus was born.
- NT Canon: Why the early church rejected some gospels and kept others.
- Apocrypha: What it is, why it’s in some Bibles, and how Protestants should view it.
- The Big Question: Is the canon closed? Can books still be added?
This isn’t just for scholars. If you read the Bible, you need to know why these 66 books — and not others — are in your hands. Because “the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life” only works if we know which letters God actually breathed out. 2 Tim 3:16
