What’s really happening with church attendance in America?

In this episode, Greg breaks down the latest research from Barna, Pew Research Center, and Springtide to separate headlines from reality. While overall Christian affiliation has declined over the past two decades, the data reveals some surprising trends — including higher church attendance frequency among engaged Millennial Gen Z adults compared to older generations.

Greg explores the contrast between declining religious identification and increased spiritual curiosity, and what makes Gen Z’s approach to faith different from Gen X and Millennials. Are young adults walking away from church — or redefining how they engage it?

This conversation looks beyond assumptions to examine what the numbers actually say — and what it means for pastors, parents, and Christian leaders concerned about the future of the Church in America.

Greg breaks down why he and others advocated so strongly in 2025 to ban synthetic THC products from Hemp. He discusses a troubling new investigation reported by AL.com revealing that some hemp products like ones that were being sold in Alabama were found to contain dangerously high illegal levels of THC — along with mold, pesticides, and even a carcinogen from paint thinner.

What does this mean for consumers? How widespread is the problem? And what gaps in regulation may be allowing potentially dangerous products to remain on store shelves?

Greg walks through the findings of the report, discusses the public health and policy implications, and examines why this issue drew so much attention from lawmakers, parents, and advocacy groups across the state.
