Why Gen Z is Converting to Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism with Redeemed Zoomer

Young men are walking out of megachurches and into cathedrals. Why? Michael Horton sits down with @redeemedzoomer6053 (Richard Ackerman), a former atheist turned Reformed Christian, to unpack why Gen Z is ditching modern evangelicalism for incense, icons, and ancient liturgies. Richard shares his own journey from secular leftism to faith—and why so many of his peers take the road to Rome or Constantinople instead of Geneva.
