The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God
The Christian faith that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But what if this isn’t the whole story? Could we be witnessing a return to belief in God in this generation? Writer and broadcaster Justin Brierley is convinced that we are seeing a growing wave of faith among intellectuals and former atheists. Justin and Chris Brooks discuss why this is happening and how we can prepare for a fresh wave of former skeptics who are now seeking Jesus!
