In this video, I'm joined by Dr. Chris Castaldo, a Protestant convert from Roman Catholicism, author, scholar and pastor. We discuss his recent book Why Do Protestants Convert? exploring the phenomenon of Protestants becoming Catholic, diving into the history, psychology, sociology and more.

Chris Castaldo (PhD, London School of Theology) was raised on Long Island, New York. Since November 2014, he has served as Lead Pastor of New Covenant Church, Naperville. A fellow at the Center for Pastor Theologians, he has authored and contributed to several books and has written articles for publications such as Religion News Service, Christianity Today, Touchstone Journal, Credo Magazine, Themelios, The Gospel Coalition, and First Things.

About Gospel Simplicity:
Gospel Simplicity began as a YouTube channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.
