York Moore: From Angry Atheist to TikTok Evangelist

Why this InterVarsity leader would rather laugh on TikTok than rant on Twitter.

In this episode Heather and York discuss his own testimony as well as his incredible story of his own conversion into Christianity. York grew up an atheist and remained so into adulthood, but he had an incredible experience of being called by God, and then surrendering his life to not just faith, but also evangelism while in College.

York shares with us what he believes the next generation is looking for, how we can be more effective in reaching them, as well as what the voice of God sounds like.
