About this listen

James, a London-based student, grew up in a religious home but now calls himself “pro-faith" but not practising. In this conversation, he reflects on why some Gen Zers turn away from organised religion and move toward self-help, how social media shapes shared anxiety and belonging, and why curiosity—and conversation—might be the best kind of therapy.
This episode is part of The Gen Z Role Models Project, a study exploring how young people today make sense of religion, spirituality, and role models in a digital age. Following a successful Oxford Pilot, the new King’s Study is up and running—anyone aged 18–28, from any background and location, can take part: https://bit.ly/GenZ2026
