truth be told…
As the world becomes more chaotic, spiritual seekers are looking for answers. Where is God in all this? Why does Christianity look so different from one place to the next? Why is there not a single Christianity, but "Christianities"—a divided faith, split by politics, cultural beliefs, and more? What exactly IS a Christian?
Join our host, John Heers, as he travels the world to ask these profound questions—not as an academic or a sociologist, but a storyteller and keen student of history—navigating the diverse landscapes of faith with curiosity and humor. As it explores the historical, intellectual, and spiritual continuity of Christianity today (or lack thereof), Christianities? will take you on a wild journey through it all by interviewing spiritual and intellectual leaders from
around the world to present a
cohesive understanding of the
faith that appeals to both
the heart and the mind.
