S3E1- Countercultural Christianity: Embracing Tradition, Mystery, and Martyrdom

Pastors James and John engaged in a discussion about the shift in cultural interest toward traditional forms of Christianity, particularly Orthodoxy. They emphasized the importance of understanding why individuals are drawn to these traditions, noting that many seek fulfillment outside of "capital C" Christianity. They highlighted the role of habitus, catechesis, and community worship in transforming lives and emphasizing that true faith requires both heart change and obedience. Ultimately, they pondered how to ensure that seekers are genuinely pursuing a relationship with Christ, rather than just the appealing aspects of the faith, reminding listeners that the Christian journey can be fraught with challenges but rooted in trust and grace.
