In this episode of the New South Christians podcast, I sit down with Christian, a young man navigating faith in today’s world. He shares how his time at a public college shaped his understanding of Christianity, and the value of engaging with people from different religious backgrounds. We also touch on some of the big challenges his generation faces, like the national debt and finding stable jobs, but Christian remains grounded in his faith, encouraging others to trust in God through it all.

Christian’s journey is both honest and inspiring. From setbacks in his career to the lessons he’s learned, he talks about the power of internships and why seeking God’s guidance is so important. His positive outlook and unwavering faith offer a sense of hope that’s both refreshing and real.

Join us as we dive into what it means to be a New South Christian in a rapidly changing world. Christian’s story will leave you feeling inspired and uplifted, reminding us all of the strength we find in our faith.
