Family, Faith, and Future (Brad Wilcox, Robert Putnam, & William T. Cavanaugh) | Ep. 43
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Recorded at New York Encounter 2025, sociologist Brad Wilcox (University of Virginia), political scientist Robert Putnam (Harvard), and theologian William T. Cavanaugh (DePaul) explore the intersection of religion, relationships, and renewal in modern society.
The conversation spans shifting trends in marriage and family, the revival of spiritual interest among Gen Z, and alternative models of economy that prioritize community over consumption. A rich dialogue on what’s fracturing us—and what can bring us back together.
