T.S. Eliot’s leap of faith sent ripples through his intellectual circle, and the resulting shock and disdain are still felt today in the stories of modern first-generation believers. Virginia Woolf's reaction to Eliot's conversion highlights the potential alienation that comes with embracing Christianity in a secular world. This episode investigates the emotional and social upheaval that often accompanies such a profound personal transformation, offering listeners a chance to reflect on their own spiritual journeys. From the reactions of those at Calvary to the ongoing impact on believers, we traverse the timeless and often challenging crossroads of faith and societal acceptance.

Journey with us as we unravel the poignant and contrasting responses to Christ’s crucifixion. Witness the regret in the crowd and the sorrow among His disciples, juxtaposed with the Roman centurion’s moment of revelation—a moment that transcends time and tradition. The courage of modern believers, mirrored in the steadfastness of a Roman soldier, serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith. Through stories of sacrifice, like that of a young Malaysian girl choosing her faith over familial acceptance, we celebrate the unwavering conviction that has inspired countless lives across generations.
