“Not the God of the philosophers or the scholars, but the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.”

Blaise Pascal’s famous formula of return to more ancient forms of Christianity is coming true in our own times. I had been hearing too many reports from mainstream media decrying the Gen Z fleeing of faith at alarming rates. Meanwhile, at our local Orthodox Church, we are being inundated with mostly male inquirers who have just graduated or are about to graduate high school. How you might ask do they find us? They simply pull out their phones and ask for “Orthodox Church near me.”
