In this episode of The Vibe Shift, we sit down with Mollie, a undergraduate student in the UK, to reflect on what it means to be young, questioning, and spiritually curious in today’s world.
Mollie shares how she encountered our Gen Z Role Models study, why she connected with the Self-help Narrative, and what it’s like to be a co-researcher exploring faith in partnership with academics. From TikTok religion to participatory methods, this episode gives a vivid portrait of how one Gen Zer approaches belief, belonging, and the ethics of asking questions.
We talk about:
- Why Gen Z values humility in religious role models
- What it's like to talk openly about faith with peers
- How participatory research builds confidence and community
- Why richer stories—not surveys—are the future of ethical research
Listen now and hear how one student’s journey from “uncomfortable indecision” to empowered co-researcher captures the spirit of a generation.
