The Faith Debate is an open an honest forum for faith leaders to participate in forthright discussions of the truth, always with an attitude of neighborliness – even (especially!) when there is sharp disagreement. The show seriously wrestles over important ideas, with all participants willing to vigorously challenge one another. The hope is that, through hearing the panelists’ verbal jousting, the listener will be equipped to better understand biblical truth, especially as it relates to the most important issues facing the world.

The range of guests on the program have included religious leaders from most of the world’s continents, representing nearly all major and minor faith traditions. Topic selection for The Faith Debate highlights both contemporary "hot topics" and timeless metaphysical questions. Sometimes the discussions are intermural, pitting Christian views against other religious views. Sometimes the discussions are intramural, pitting various Christian doctrinal positions against one another.

The Faith Debate has been hosted by Troy Skinner since its founding in 2004. He earned his Master of Divinity Degree from Reformed Theological Seminary, and entered vocational ministry in the early 2000's. Since 2020 he has served as pastor for Household of Faith in Christ.
