Episode Description

Is a new generation rediscovering faith or is the data telling a different story? Despite claims of a religious revival among young Americans, national research from the Pew Research Center shows religious participation among Gen Z remains largely unchanged. In A Return to Faith, host Maria Shilaos explores the gap between statistics and lived experience. Through conversations with faith leaders and young adults across multiple religious traditions, this hour-long KSL NewsRadio special examines why some Gen Z Americans are returning to church, synagogue, or sanctuary — and what continues to inspire faith in an increasingly secular America. 

Hosted by Maria Shilaos; produced by Andy Cupp
