Zuby is joined by JP De Gance, author, speaker, and the founder of Communio, to explore the cultural forces driving the decline of marriage, faith, and family in the modern West. JP breaks down the complex feedback loop between falling marriage rates, weakening religious commitment, and the rise of broken families. They also discuss the real-world consequences of father absence, the semantic confusion around the word “marriage,” the failures of churches and institutions, the overlooked role of family law in discouraging marriage.
