In this episode, Jonathon has a conversation with Justin Brierley, a UK broadcaster, writer, and speaker, about his book 'The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God.’ Brierley shares his insights on the intellectual and cultural shifts he observes, including a growing interest in Christianity among secular intellectuals disillusioned by atheism.
He explores themes such as the collapse of New Atheism, the potential for a Christian revival, and how the digital age, the sexual revolution, and the resulting meaning crisis affect this transformation in both intellectuals and Gen Z.
