Studying the rise and fall of marriage in the U.S. has helped J.P. DeGance understand what is at the core of people leaving Christian churches.

MAX Studios Creative Director Darnell Miller talks with J.P. DeGance, author, researcher and President and Founder of Communio, about his findings from the Nationwide Study on Faith & Relationships and how we can do better to serve the loneliest people in church pews.

This interview is bonus content from the Marriage Catechumenate Summit that took place at Circle Lake Retreat Center near Houston, Texas in June 2023. This continues a series of interviews with Catholic marriage experts in North America who attended the Marriage Catechumenate Summit. A mini-documentary of the summit will be released at the end of the interview series.
