140 - Save Marriage, Save the Faith | JP De Gance

How does the decline in marriage impact the decline in faith practice and affiliation? What has contributed to the rise in “none’s”? Can scientific research and inquiry help us understand the connection between marriage and faith?

To have this important conversation, I welcome JP De Gance, founder and president of Communio, which is a nonprofit ministry that trains and equips churches to share the Gospel through the renewal of healthy relationship, marriages, and the family.

In today’s episode, we discuss loneliness in America, marriage and divorce statistics, how the perception of marriage has changed from a cornerstone to capstone venture, how the decline in marriage correlates with the decline in faith practice, how dads play a key role in their children’s faith practice, and strategies that parishes and communities can implement to serve better serve marriage.
