Christianity is making a comeback—but why are young people returning to faith and the ancient Church?
Archbishop Angaelos joins George Iskander and Simon Thomas for an honest conversation about Christianity’s “quiet revival,” the growing interest in Orthodox Christianity, faith and doubt, suffering, church hurt, artificial intelligence, pornography and raising Christian children in a fearful world.
Archbishop Angaelos also explains why God does not remove every doubt, how Christians should respond when church leaders make difficult decisions, and what he wants every atheist, parent and young person to know about Jesus Christ.
