Speaker: Bryce Crawford, with Tristan Tate
June 1, 2026 · 1 hr 53 min
Summary
Tristan Tate, a former atheist turned Orthodox Christian, discusses his faith journey, the centrality of Christ's resurrection to Christian identity, and his perspective on discipleship, marriage, and cultural Christianity. He emphasizes that true Christianity requires belief in Jesus's bodily resurrection and calls modern Western Christians to greater spiritual conviction and cultural engagement.
Highlights
I don't think you can consider yourself a Christian unless you believe that he was actually dead for three days and rose again from the grave. That is the core of Christianity.
I don't think you can ever feel more lonely than when you're in bed with a woman who you just don't care about at all.
Going to jail and having everything taken away from me was like a hard reset in my mind, where even now it's been years since I was inside a prison cell, I appreciate everything so much more.
