In this episode, I sit down with Evan Raugust, a Gen Z YouTube creator whose journey from evangelical, non-denominational Christianity to the Catholic Church has sparked a lot of curiosity online. Evan shares how the pandemic years pushed him to take his faith seriously, investigate church history and the early Church Fathers, and explore nearly every major Christian denomination before ultimately becoming baptized and confirmed Catholic, with a renewed love for Jesus and a deep hunger for spiritual depth.
We talk about why Gen Z is moving toward Catholicism and other traditional churches, the role of communion and the Eucharist, and how to have honest Protestant vs Catholic conversations without cheap shots. Evan also opens up about being a Catholic digital missionary, creating Christian YouTube content, courage and adventure in faith, and why he believes God is calling believers toward greater unity while still recognizing real differences.
If you’ve been wondering what’s behind the “Catholic resurgence,” what young Christians are searching for right now, or how YouTube and digital evangelism are shaping the future of Christianity, this conversation will give you a thoughtful, respectful window into the story and the bigger movement happening in this generation.
