Over The Vibe Shift

The Vibe Shift is a podcast of the Gen Z Role Models Project, based at King’s College London. We explore the fast-changing spiritual lives of the first smartphone generation—diving into original research on religion, influencer culture, and the search for meaning in a digital age. From lifestyle gurus to papal TikTokers, we’re tracking the saints and cynics shaping Gen Z’s world. Featuring fresh voices and participatory research methods, each episode invites you into conversations that matter.

April on Gen Z and the Surprising Growth of Christian Universities / The Gen Z Role Models Project / Season 2, Episode 5

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2502733/fan_mail/new] April, a former corporate professional turned professor at Houston Christian University, joined Edward’s week-long seminar on Gen Z at the 2025 Oxford Theology Summer School.  In this conversation, she reflects on what she is seeing among her students: a generation often cautious of organised religion, yet deeply engaged in a search for meaning, truth, and community. Drawing on both her own vocational journey and her classroom experience, April explores the resonance of the Lost-and-Found Narrative, the importance of peer-driven and relational learning, and the emergence of unexpected moments of collective spiritual engagement. She offers a grounded perspective on how this generation is navigating faith and seeking authentic spaces—including faith-based universities—to explore belief. The Vibe Shift Podcast is part of The Gen Z Role Models Project, a study exploring how young people today make sense of religion, spirituality, and role models in a digital age. The new King’s Study is now open—anyone aged 18–28, from any background and location, can take part.

Phoebe on Gen Z in the Church of England / The Gen Z Role Models Project / Season 2, Episode 2

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2502733/fan_mail/new] Phoebe, the Young Adult Mission Enabler for the Diocese of Durham, found faith at the age of 18. A Gen Z Christian herself, she now helps churches listen more deeply to a generation rediscovering spirituality. In this conversation, she reflects on why some young adults experience faith as a direct encounter with God—the “Simple Faith Narrative”—and how that insight shapes her ministry. We also discuss online spirituality, safety and honesty in faith spaces, and the Church of England’s efforts to bring young adults into leadership and decision-making. This Vibe Shift is part of The Gen Z Role Models Project, a study exploring how young people today make sense of religion, spirituality, and role models in a digital age. Following a successful Oxford Pilot, the new King’s Study is up and running—anyone aged 18–28, from any background and location, can take part: https://bit.ly/GenZ2026 [https://bit.ly/GenZ2026] Visit us at oxfordexemplars.org [https://oxfordexemplars.org].

James on Faith, Authority, and the Self-help Generation / The Gen Z Role Models Project / Season 2, Episode 1

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2502733/fan_mail/new] James, a London-based student, grew up in a religious home but now calls himself “pro-faith" but not practising. In this conversation, he reflects on why some Gen Zers turn away from organised religion and move toward self-help, how social media shapes shared anxiety and belonging, and why curiosity—and conversation—might be the best kind of therapy.
