During World Youth Day in Lisbon, Catholics and Evangelical Christians gathered for an event called “The Change.” Among the guests were a well-known actor and a musician. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser sat down with Matt Maher and Jonathan Roumie to discuss what the event was and what “the change” they are looking for is. They expand on their Catholic faith and finding common ground with other Christian denominations and how they have been able to reach all types of Christians. The artists share what they hope the youth that attended the event will get out of it.
