Hope Talks Podcast: Faith for the Curious with Mark Matlock
In this Hope Talks podcast episode, Haley Scully and Dustin Anderson sit down with Mark Matlock—author, ministry leader and researcher with the Barna Group—for a thoughtful conversation about wisdom, spiritual formation and reaching the next generation.
Mark shares insights from his book “Faith for the Curious” and how his research reveals that many people—especially younger generations—are more open to spiritual conversations than we might think. Together, they discuss how wisdom (especially from Proverbs) shapes our spiritual lives and why evangelism needs to shift from transactional encounters to relational engagement. They also explore the ongoing mental health crisis and how it’s opening doors for evangelism and deeper discipleship.
