Faith in the Modern Age & Overcoming the 'Irrelevance' Barrier

Stewart can explore the intriguing paradox of modern spirituality, where many young people today aren’t actively rejecting faith but often see it as less relevant in their fast-paced, tech-driven lives. Stewart can demonstrate how shifting the focus to deeper existential questions-like 'What were we made for?'-can spark curiosity and foster a sense of connection. This talking point encourages listeners to re-examine the role of faith in a world that sometimes feels spiritually distant, making it especially engaging for podcasts exploring contemporary spirituality, cultural trends, or the intersection of belief and daily life.
