In this episode, Jason Evert discusses with Economist Dr. Catherine Pakaluk the critical impact of declining birth rates and how world leaders are realizing that children are the only solution to saving the economy. With fewer babies being born, the consequences are staggering—from a shrinking workforce to unsustainable pension systems.

We also explore why all of Vladamir Putin’s efforts—from the “Day of Conception” to the “Mother Heroine” award—have failed to boost Russia’s birth rate, despite bold incentives and national campaigns. Join us to uncover the true motivation that can inspire more people to have children: faith. This episode offers valuable insights into why family, faith, and more babies are essential for building a brighter, more prosperous future for all.
