About this listen

Why are millions of young Americans turning away from organized religion—yet leaning harder than ever into spirituality?

Faith Unbound delivers the answer through a powerful blend of research, storytelling, cultural analysis, and honest reflection.

In this eye-opening exploration, award-winning author Myles McGuire traces the dramatic rise of the “Spiritual but Not Religious” (SBNR) movement among Millennials and Gen Z. Drawing from history, sociology, and lived experiences, McGuire examines how a generation shaped by economic turmoil, political polarization, digital overload, and institutional distrust is forging its own spiritual identity outside the walls of the church.

Rather than depicting faith as fading, Faith Unbound reveals a transformation—a shift toward personal meaning, moral curiosity, and an inner search for purpose that thrives far beyond traditional pews.

Inside this timely and thought-provoking audiobook, listeners will discover:

  • Why Millennials are leaving religious institutions in record numbers
  • How spirituality is evolving through mindfulness, social justice, and personal exploration
  • The cultural forces redefining belief in modern America
  • The psychological and social benefits of the SBNR identity
  • What religious leaders can learn—and how faith communities can adapt and reconnect
  • How younger generations are reshaping the future of American spirituality

Compassionate, grounded, and richly researched, Faith Unbound is both a mirror and a map—reflecting where we are and illuminating where spiritual life is headed next.

Whether you’re a believer, a seeker, or someone simply curious about the future of faith in our changing world, this audiobook offers clarity, nuance, and hope.
