Description
Starting in 1990, deaths from suicide, drug overdoses, and alcoholism started to rise. And the upswing in these so-called “Deaths of Despair” continues to this day. This video explains why. Assistant Professor of Economics, Tyler Giles, discusses his research showing there is a causal link between the number of people leaving organized religion and the increase in Deaths of Despair. Watch this important conversation between host, Spencer Demetros, and Dr. Giles on how getting people back to church may actually save lives and strategies for making that happen. This video is taken from the show Hear Me Out, with Spencer Demetros that airs on ActonTV. Links: https://www.watchhearmeout.com/ https://actontv.org/
