The Next Generation

With so many in Gen Z now choosing church, I question Justin Brierley on why this is happening, what Christianity offers, and (most importantly) whether it’s true.For decades, Justin Brierley has been hosting dialogues between the world’s most famous atheists and Christians. His new book 'The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God' examines the phenomenon of the current shift back towards Christianity. It can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1496466772/The book has also been launched as a podcast.

Sean Ramiz is a content creator who converted to Islam in 2023. It was so interesting to hear about his journey to faith, as well as his take on Islam's compatibility with the West.
