## Resource

For years, a mass exodus of believers has been leaving the Church, particularly amongst young people. Although there are hopeful signs that this trend is shifting, it remains a significant challenge for the North American Church, as a generation grapples with important questions about faith, church, and culture. In this podcast, Chris sits down with pastor and author Nicholas McDonald to discuss and unpack his new book The Light in Our Eyes: Rediscovering the Love, Beauty, and Freedom of Jesus in an Age of Disillusionment . Nicholas spent years helping people work through serious questions about faith and church. He quickly realized that what these people needed—and what he really needed—was not merely apologetics answers but the good news that speaks to their deepest dreams: love, beauty, and freedom—the very things Jesus promises to those who follow Him. For the many who have felt disillusioned with certain aspects of church culture, this book is a lifeline for navigating the cynicism of both conservative and progressive beliefs to find real hope in the life and mission of Jesus.
