If the evidence for Jesus is actually stronger than the evidence for the masters of Rome, what does that mean for your worldview? Key topics we explore: - 📉 The Failure of New Atheism: Why the logic of Richard Dawkins didn't provide the community we crave. - 📜 Jesus vs. Tiberius: The mind-blowing historical evidence discussed on Steven Bartlett’s platform. - 🧠 The Meaning Crisis: How modern individualism is fueling a global mental health crisis and how faith provides a solution. - 📱 Digital Isolation: Why Gen Z is trading infinite scrolling for ancient scripture to find a transcendent purpose.
