    <description>What if finding your faith was like auditioning for the role of a lifetime? Meet Roman G., a curious twenty-something on a divine mission to figure out what religion really fits him best. Each week, Roman invites leaders, believers, and skeptics from all walks of faith to step into the spiritual spotlight and make their pitch — from ancient traditions to modern movements, incense to Instagram.

With humor, honesty, and zero lightning bolts (so far), God’s Casting Call explores what people believe, why they believe it, and what it means to search for purpose in a world full of options. Think of it as The Bachelor, but for your soul.
