In this debut episode of the Faith & Culture Report, David Kinnaman and Ashley LaLonde explore a surprising shift in the spiritual landscape: 66% of U.S. adults say they’ve made a personal commitment to Jesus—and that number is rising. Drawing on new Barna research, this conversation examines growing spiritual openness, changing faith trends in America and what these shifts mean for the future of the Church. This episode sets the foundation for a new kind of conversation—one grounded in data, shaped by lived experience and focused on helping you discern what’s next for faith, culture and the Church.

| 05 | Dr. Frank Newport on the Religious Revival Among Young Men | 11 Jun 2026 | 00:44:11 | |
In this episode, David Kinnaman sits down with Dr. Frank Newport, Gallup Senior Scientist and former Editor-in-Chief of the Gallup Poll, to explore new Barna and Gallup data on a striking rise in religiosity among young men — including a 14-point jump in those who say religion is "very important" and a 15-point rise in male church attendance. But perhaps the most surprising finding: the longstanding gender gap in faith among 18–29-year-olds has virtually disappeared. Together, they unpack what's driving this unexpected shift, how politics and religion may be influencing each other, and what church leaders should understand about reading, and misreading research in a noisy information environment.

| 04 | Christine Caine on Evangelism, Spiritual Openness & the Rise of a Flourishing Faith | 28 May 2026 | 00:57:12 | |
In this episode, David Kinnaman and Ashley LaLonde sit down with evangelist, author, and activist Christine Caine to explore new Barna data on faith commitment in America — including a striking 20-point drop in Christians who say their faith is "very important" to their lives. But Christine sees something different beneath that number: the quiet death of cultural Christianity and a global surge in genuine spiritual hunger. Together, they unpack why this moment may be the most open era for the gospel in a generation, what moves someone from nominal belief to a flourishing, activated faith, and why the church's greatest witness right now might simply be learning to bear fruit in a barren season.

In this episode, Ashley LaLonde sits down with pastor, author and leadership coach Jo Saxton to explore new Barna data on motherhood and spiritual formation — including why 53% of teenagers name their mom as their most trusted source for guidance on faith. Together, they unpack the everyday "in-between" moments where faith is formed, the difference between performing faith and living it, and what it means to be a faithful spiritual parent in a culture of eroded trust. | |||
| 02 | Andy Crouch on the Future of AI, Faith & Spiritual Formation | 30 Apr 2026 | 00:52:49 | |
In this episode, David Kinnaman and Ashley Lalonde sit down with Andy Crouch to explore new Barna data on AI adoption among Christians and pastors, and what it reveals about the future of faith and culture. Together, they unpack the rise of “easy everywhere” technology, the growing influence of AI in Bible study and why human formation still requires something technology can’t provide. You’ll also hear why practices like silence, solitude and focused attention matter more than ever—and how the Church can resist digital distraction while forming people for depth, resilience and real connection.
