30% Say There’s No God, But She Prayed Anyway. Then This Happened… | EP42

30% of Canadians don't believe in God!
This podcast episode with Kiri Jane Erb from apologetics Canada, we discuss her journey from atheism to Christianity; a unique Christian conversion story in a post-Christian culture. A story of faith and doubt, a spiritual journey through Canada's secularism, where an atheist prays and find God. We discuss the reasons why 30% of Canadians say there's no God, the connection from atheism to Christianity, in a post-Christian world with Gen Z faith crisis. Kiri's story proves  prayer works and God hears a heart wrestling with doubt.

Kiri Jane Erb joins Fola on the Revaluate Podcast to share her real life testimony of wrestling with doubt, depression, and the question: does God exist? This isn't just an atheist to Christian story—it's a compelling case for hope, a modern-day easter story woven with resurrection hope.

We touch on themes like faith after depression, atheism vs faith, a journey from despair to a living faith, what it means to encounter Jesus in a post-Christian culture like Canada, and decline Christianity in Canada. Whether you're curious about God and suffering, facing an existential crisis, or simply want to hear a Christian testimony that doesn’t sound like a cliché, this episode is for you.

We also reflect on the Holy Week, the resurrection of Jesus -- resurrection story, deconstruction to faith, rise of Islam in Canada, and the broader atheism vs Christianity debate. This conversation might just shift your view on faith, purpose, and what it means to truly live.
