Christianity is no longer in fashion. This means that being a Christian is counter-cultural. In this episode of Into the Truth, Rev Nicky Gumbel, the pioneer of the Alpha Course, explains that the challenge for the Church today is to bravely speak our counter-cultural message. "If we simply mouth the same platitudes as the culture," he says, "what is there that’s distinctive about our faith?"

The Alpha Course

HTB Church

In an era where nearly half of practising Catholics question the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, it's fair to be concerned about the vitality of the Catholic Church. In the first episode of Season 2 of our Into the Truth podcast, Professor Stephen Bullivant of St Mary's University, Twickenham, explores the decline of Christianity in Britain, examining factors such as the aftermath of Vatican II and the challenges posed by the pandemic, alongside the Church's response to these pressing issues.

Despite this seemingly pessimistic outlook, Bullivant sheds light on stories of hope and growth within the Church in Britain. Notably, the episode highlights the steadfast devotion of young Catholics, whose fervent embrace of Eucharistic Adoration and reverence for the Eucharist signal a promising future for the Church.Listen now to discover the profound significance of the Eucharist in contemporary Catholicism and to glean insights on navigating secularisation in today's world.

Less than half of people in the UK now identify as Christian, according to the most recent census. Did this decline begin with the age of New Atheism? In the latest episode of Into the Truth, we speak to Justin Brierley, author of "The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity". Brierley discusses the rise of New Atheism - why did it happen and why did it have such a wide effect? He also shares his optimism about people rethinking Christianity, the impact of secular cultural commentators, including Jordan Peterson and Tom Holland, and the meaning crisis.
