Michael Smerconish sits down with Dr. Byron Johnson of Baylor University for a thought-provoking conversation that explores groundbreaking findings from the Global Flourishing Study—the largest longitudinal research effort ever conducted on well-being, spanning 200,000 people across 22 countries. They discuss why wealthier nations like the U.S. may be falling behind in true life satisfaction, the importance of social relationships, and how isolation, technology, and the decline of in-person interaction are reshaping global happiness trends. Drawing comparisons to the well-known World Happiness Report, Johnson and Smerconish highlight how flourishing is more than just financial prosperity—it's deeply tied to relationships, meaning, and purpose: It is tied to MINGLING! An essential listen for anyone trying to understand what it really means to live a "good life" in the modern world.

We were fortunate to have two such interesting 'hands on' academics in this conversation. Within an academic climate that is not always sympathetic or collaborative they engaged in a three year research project in one of the most notorious penal establishments in the Uniteds States, Angola.   Dr. Michael Hallett is a full Professor in the Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice at the University of North Florida. Dr. Hallett just finished his fourth book and has published research appearing in numerous additional books and journals including Punishment & Society, Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, Critical Criminology and others. Dr. Hallett's focus is Corrections & Social Inequality, Punishment & Society, and Religion & Crime. Dr. Hallett designed Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Pretrial Services Unit (drug treatment/diversion) and has completed extensive work with local organizations including Prisoners of Christ, Operation New Hope, Hubbard House, the City of Jacksonville, JCCI and others. Most recently, Dr. Hallett led a three-year study at America's largest maximum-security prison, "Angola" (aka Louisiana State Penitentiary) exploring the religious lives of long-term inmates. He has served as Principal Investigator on grants from the US Department of Justice, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Jesse Ball DuPont Foundation, and several other organizations. Dr. Hallett has chaired two academic departments at UNF (Sociology, Anthropology & Criminal Justice and Criminology & Criminal Justice) after first directing the Graduate program in Criminal Justice. Dr. Hallett frequently works on local justice issues in Jacksonville and has completed over a dozen funded projects at UNF, often employing students in the research. Dr Hallett also serves as a Senior Research Fellow at Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion.   Hallett, M. (Guest Editor) Special Issue * Social Justice * "Emancipatory Justice."

He is the founding director of the Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion (ISR) as well as director of the Program on Prosocial Behavior.  He is a leading authority on the scientific study of religion, the efficacy of faith-based organizations, and criminal justice.

The $43.4 million initiative will include data collection for approximately 240,000 participants from 22 geographically and culturally diverse countries.

What is the relationship between religion and crime? What impact does faith have on and in America's prison system? What role does faith have in accomplishing the goals of the criminal justice system? To unpack all of this, Rabbi Lamm spoke with the world expert on religion and criminology, Baylor University's Byron Johnson. They talked about what the data tell us about the impact of religion on crime and criminality, what role faith can and does play in the prison system itself, how to bring the values of repentance and personal redemption deeper into American life, whether in the context of life-after-prison or even cancel culture, what we can learn from the fact that the Bible doesn't use incarceration as a punishment, and much more!

The Global Flourishing Study represents the largest initiative of its kind to investigate the determinants of human flourishing. In this week's Baylor Connections, Dr. Byron Johnson, Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences and Director of the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor, takes listeners inside the massive project that will survey over 240,000 individuals in 22 countries over five years. With $43 million in funding, it's also the largest funded research project in Baylor history, with a scope that will impact numerous disciplines through scientific, longitudinal data on a variety of factors that influence human thriving.

Professor Byron Johnson joins us for a conversation on a core piece of the human experience that many of us hold dear but has been neglected in studies of criminology and other fields for decades: the influence of religion on human behavior. In this episode, he covers a brief history of our nation's understanding of the purpose of prisons, the role of faith-based programs in prisons in making prisoners more “pro-social,” the work of Prison Fellowship International in aiding the rehabilitation of prisoners, why people commit crime and why people follow laws, i.e. don't commit crime, are both important, and how cancel culture is harming our ability to forgive one another, and the dramatic effects of faith-based programs led by inmates in rehabilitating their fellow inmates such as those in an Angola Prison. Byron Johnson is a Senior Fellow of the Austin Institute and a Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences at Baylor University. He is a leading authority on the scientific study of religion, the efficacy of faith-based organizations, and criminal justice.  Recent publications have examined the impact of faith-based programs on recidivism reduction and prisoner reentry.

Dr. Byron Johnson, Distinguished Professor of Social Sciences and Founding Director of the Institute for the Studies of Religion, is one of the country's leading researchers on the role of religion in public life. In this episode of Baylor Connections, he shows the impact of communities and people of faith on societal issues such as homelessness, crime and incarceration, and shares why the scientific study of religion is so meaningful.

Forty-six percent of Americans believe religion is part of the problem in our society. Yet faith is the motivation for many of the critical social services and programs that benefit the most vulnerable populations. Congregations, faith-based businesses, and charities lift people up in times of need in ways that few other institutions or government programs can. In this conversation, you will see the important role faith-based organizations play in renewing civil society. Also, what would it look like for a church to not only release its people into the world to fulfill their mission but to come beside them to enable their dreams? In Portland, one of the most progressive and unchurched cities in America, Imago Dei has learned how to empower their people to do more than show up on Sunday mornings. They train them to become restorers. Learn from Pastor Rick McKinley the principles that have made his community a beacon of light in the midst of a fog of disbelief.

My name is Byron Johnson, but I go by the name of Stoops. Since I wrote this, I’mgoing to speak in the first person. When I’m big enough to have somebody actually write my bio, we’ll bring in the third person. Anyway, I’m from Detroit, Michigan, but my passion brought me to Los Angeles. That passion is music, and it’s been my passion since I was 12 years old. I always knew it would drive my life, but I had no idea it would land me in Hollywood. And there’s nothing like being an independent artist in that city. I went from working on film sets, to random music sessions with Peedi Crack, to delivering Puffy’s dry cleaning every day, trying to figure out how to let him know what he had in front of him. Either way, it always comes back to the music. I had the most success I’ve ever had in 2016, and I expect 2017 to be bigger.  The video for my song, “Freedom”, hit over a quarter million views in just over a quarter of the year, and the song itself hit over 70,000 streams.  I’m charting
