Notes:
Russian Mennonite tradition, Descendants of Dutch Anabaptists
Russian evangelicals
Part of a Russian orthodox church in Kazakhstan
Moved to Germany at the age of 7
Father was the Volga Germany, recruited by Katherine the Great from Germany
They were culturally Catholics
Parents were both musicians, left in 1995 , suddenly didn't go to church anymore
Theologically aligned most to the Southern Baptist
Orthodox church doesn't talk the same way about God as the evangelicals do
Don't follow your friends became the foundation
Went to Australia doing missions, Found wife in the church
Deep psychological crisis around 2015
Caught the whole JBP thing right from the beginning
Plugged into the conservative commentary from the states, Klavan, Shapiro,
You could see that something was building up
It was at the same time a crisis in faith, struggle in nihilism
JBP happening after he got into apologetics, RAVI Zacharias and WLC, Zacharias had this way of combining theology and philosophy that he was missing
JBP started his Biblical series… there is a way of talking for an hour about the framework of Genesis
This guy is the biggest de-converted of atheists in the entire world.
Stopped with the law school, went into manufacturing, tried to be the best person you could be, the transformation was incredible…
It wasn't from the Bible, spiritual input, practical self help stuff…
Transformed him
Deep deep loss of tradition
Modernity coming to an end
The seeker movement wasn't built to last
Trying to reconcile his own history
Now 32
Famous cathedral in Cologne
Giving up that history because "we just have to believe in Jesus"
Trying to keep a post-reformation tradition a alive and struggling with the Reformation itself
