Religious identities have shifted dramatically in the last quarter century. But how, and it what ways? Is religion as we once knew it dying in the U.S.? Or are people finding other ways of expressing the same kinds of needs for affiliation and meaning in different forms? What do people really mean when they say they are spiritual but not religious? Or religious but not affiliated with any traditional communities or institutions?This panel discussion, held on October 25, 2025, centered around what recent trends might tell us about the future of faith and belonging in American life. Our panel of experts, moderated by Bushman Chair Laurie Maffly-Kipp, explored one of the most communitarian traditions, the Mormon faith, as well as other American religious affiliations and spiritual identities.Visit our website to learn more.PanelistsRosemary Avance is Assistant Professor of Media and Strategic Communications at Oklahoma State University.

After a violent crackdown on protestors, Donald Trump posed for a photo-op with a bible in front of a church. A year later, a federal judge has tossed most of the civil complaints against the former president. But the image remains telling. Today we replay our interview with religion scholar Matthew Hedstrom on the ideology of Christian nationalism and its harder-core variety, dominionism. Hedstrom says a muscular resistance to pluralism — not ideas about piety — lies at the core of this belief system.

When investing in real estate, we need to avoid making mistakes with ARV and repair value. How can we provide sellers with more realistic numbers, that both they and our contractors can trust? Is there a baseline we should be using to ensure more accuracy? On this episode, co-creator of Rehab Estimator Pro, Matthew Hedstrom shares how the estimator tool streamlines transactions and can help us win more deals.   3 Things We Learned Offer more trustworthy numbersMiscalculating ARV and repair value has a devastating impact on transactions, so we need a more trustworthy way to calculate numbers. Use a tool that offers a baseline estimate. This not only gives us accurate estimates for our contractors, but provides a more trustworthy offer to our sellers.   Remove the emotional attachmentMost sellers have an emotional attachment to their properties, and this can be a source of conflict when we explain what needs to be rehabilitated. By offering our sellers a baseline, streamlined checklist, we can remove the emotion and have them objectively decide what needs to be renovated themselves.  Speed up the transactionIf we have a baseline estimate for ARVs and repair value, we can speed up the transaction process. By referring to a set checklist, we can provide sellers with an offer in under 15 minutes, without ever taking out a tape measure. Plus, if we bring a battery-operated printer, we can give sellers a contract before even leaving the property.  As real estate investors, the biggest mistake we can run into is a miscalculation of cost. To avoid this from happening, we need to refer to set, almost standardized numbers. This helps us with our own calculations, but also makes us more trustworthy in the eyes of our sellers. By adhering to a baseline, we ensure accuracy while putting ourselves in the running to win more deals.   Guest Bio-  Matthew Hedstrom is the co-creator of Rehab Estimator Pro, a tool designed to streamline the real estate investing process.

“Spiritual but not Religious” is an increasingly popular tagline for the millennial generation – aged 18 to 34. Matthew Hedstrom believes consumer capitalism is responsible for this. His research suggests the millennial approach to spirituality is more about choosing and consuming different “religious products” – meditation, prayer, yoga, a belief in heaven – rather than participating in one organized religion. Also: The catastrophic decline of the bee population is a significant danger to our food supply. Lisa Horth and her team think a new insect, called mason bees, might step in to help out. Later in the show: Sudden death in young people is rare, but Matthew Thomas and Matthew Wolf Health System say that through early detection of inherited heart conditions, better precautions can be taken. And: Depression affects almost 15 million American adults, yet doctors still don’t know much about how it works. Plus: Lisa Ellison's brother was plagued with mental health issues until age 20, when he committed an awful crime and then took his own life. Lisa graduated from the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at James Madison University and is now an advocate for suicide prevention and mental health support.

Expressions of religious belief through popular media are a regular occurrence in our contemporary age. But the circulation and negotiation of religious identities in public contexts has a fairly long history in American culture. Matthew Hedstrom, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia, looks beyond the church to determine how religious liberalism was popularized through mainstream book culture. In The Rise of Liberal Religion: Book Culture and American Spirituality in the Twentieth Century (Oxford University Press, 2012) he examines mid-century middlebrow society at the intersection of protestant liberalism, therapeutic culture, and American consumerism. Through an examination of resources such as book clubs, reading programs, key authors, bestsellers, and new publishing initiatives in religion, he argues that American spiritual life during the mid-twentieth century happens through religious commodities. In our conversation we discussed social practices of reading, William James, publishing companies, effects of the World Wars, mysticism, psychology, consumerism, Jewish and Catholic voices, a turn to the East, and the intersecting religious trajectories of the early twentieth century.
