Why are so many young Christians becoming Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox?
Recent reports have highlighted growing numbers of young people, particularly young men, exploring historic Christian traditions. In this conversation, former Roman Catholic Mark Gilbert and Eastern Orthodox backgrounded John Diacos explore why this is happening, the six most common reasons people convert, and how Christians can thoughtfully and lovingly respond.
Rather than relying on stereotypes or internet debates, this discussion examines the deeper spiritual questions drawing people toward Catholicism and Orthodoxy, including truth, community, spiritual discipline, history and the search for certainty.
Whether you’re Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, or simply exploring Christianity, this conversation aims to help you better understand these movements and keep the focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
