Are we experiencing a spiritual revival—or facing a full-blown discipleship crisis in the American church? In this powerful conversation, renowned researcher Dr. George Barna shares alarming new data and challenges us to rethink how we measure spiritual health and make disciples in a post-Christian culture.Main TopicsThe Decline of Belief in the God of the BibleThe fastest-growing spiritual segment in America is now the “don'ts”—those who don't know, don't believe, or don't care if God exists.Barna reveals a 30-year decline in belief in the God of the Bible.Why Discipleship Metrics Are FailingMost churches track attendance, programs, and budgets—but not spiritual transformation.Barna outlines six biblical criteria for true discipleship based on Jesus' teachings.Only 1 in 10 born-again Christians actively disciples others.The Crucial Role of Children's Ministry and Worldview FormationA child's worldview is largely formed by age 13, starting as early as 15–18 months.Only 12% of children's pastors have a biblical worldview themselves.Barna's "Seven Cornerstones" research shows that rejecting even one foundational belief drops the likelihood of a biblical worldview from 83% to just 2%.What if the greatest threat to the church today isn't cultural hostility—but our failure to make true disciples?View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn More about the 2025 DNA Forum in Panama

My guest on the show today is Maggie Bullock, author of Kingdom of Prep, the Inside Story of The Rise and (Near) Fall of J Crew. Maggie's also the co-author of the Substack newsletter The Spread, which offers an insider's look and cultural commentary on the world of women's magazines.Maggie and I talk primarily about the subject of her book, J Crew, which holds a special place in my heart, brain and psyche.

In Sleepless in Seattle, a woman hears a stranger's voice on the radio and decides she has to be with him. A few cross-country flights, some light stalking, and one dramatic Empire State Building finale later— a recipe for true love? Or just another rom-com ignoring boundaries in the name of "destiny?" This week, Talia Koren (Dating Intentionally) joins DB to unpack the film's gender dynamics, its borderline obsessive premise, and why rom-coms always overlook the stable, reliable guy. GUEST DETAILS Talia Koren is the host of the Dating Intentionally podcast which is dedicated to helping daters enjoy the process of finding an amazing match in an authentic way. On her show and Instagram, Talia shares lessons she learned from her dating "experiment" as well as wisdom from guests who are specialists, therapists, authors and other daters.

Well, here we are again, back in the trenches of musical altruism, digging through the chaos and cocaine fumes of We Are the World. In our final part of this double header, we examine the actual recording process—a night filled with megastars, massive egos, and the creeping existential dread of Bob Dylan. We cover: Lionel Richie's unexpected side hustle as a musical firefighter, putting out diva-induced blazes. Quincy Jones' increasing exasperation as some of the greatest voices in music fail to hit their notes. Michael Jackson going off the deep end with Sheyla-Sheyla (which is absolutely, 100% real). Stevie Wonder offering to guide Ray Charles to the loo, leading to perhaps the only acceptable "blind leading the blind" joke in history. Prince skipping the whole thing to eat Mexican food down the road. Cindy Lauper causing technical difficulties by jingling like a Christmas tree made entirely of cheap jewellery. Diana Ross possibly being the most accidentally terrifying sweetheart of all time. Also: did this song actually make a difference? Or was it just the moment that finally convinced Michael Jackson he was the second coming? We get into all of that, while trying to decide whether the song is a masterpiece or just a very elaborate Pepsi advert. 00:00 Podcast Introduction and Banter 01:12 Podcast Admin and Patreon Promotion 04:42 Recording 'We Are the World': Setting the Scene 04:47 Quincy Jones and the Ensemble Choruses 07:03 Challenges and Tensions in the Studio 13:49 Prince's Absence and Sheila E's Disappointment 17:23 Final Takes and Notable Moments 25:14 Reflections and Aftermath 30:27 Michael Jackson's Missionary Phase 31:37 The Concept of an Artist's Imperial Moment 32:45 The Role of MTV and Charity Singles 34:09 Critiques and Controversies of Charity Campaigns 35:20 Bandaid vs. USA for Africa: Distribution and Impact 37:56 Political Complexities of Ethiopian Famine 44:08 Mismanagement and Consequences of Aid 47:02 USA for Africa's Long-Term Development Approach 49:53 Cultural Impact and Legacy of Charity Singles 52:39 Conclusion: Achievements and Lessons Learned
