He regales audiences with first-hand accounts of asking tough questions of some of the most powerful, influential—and infamous—people in the world. Prior to his Meet the Press duties, Gregory served as chief White House Correspondent for NBC News. Washingtonian magazine named Gregory one of Washington’s 50 best and most influential journalists, labeling him the “firebrand in the front row” for his tough yet fair questioning at press conferences.

A President of the United States once asked David Gregory, “How’s your faith?” That question did not come out of the blue. George W. Bush asked Gregory this question while he was covering the White House after hearing that he had been studying the Bible for several years. Gregory’s book How’s Your Faith? An Unlikely Spiritual Journey chronicles the story of his return to faith as an adult to find deeper meaning in his life and make sense of some painful parts of his past. Unexpected experiences in his career will additionally surprise the audience. Gregory charts his personal journey towards finding something greater, speaking on what he learned of President Bush’s faith and what he learned about his own faith and purpose during the humbling experience of losing his job at NBC in this impassioned, sincere presentation.

In this thought-provoking and enlightening presentation, he shares fascinating insights with the audience from his extensive experience in the business and the work he is doing now in this disrupted media landscape.

How's Your Faith?: An Unlikely Spiritual Journey

In this “thoughtful, introspective, and moving account” (The Washington Post), former NBC news anchor David Gregory probes various religious traditions to better understand his own faith and answer important questions about who we want to be and what we believe. When David Gregory was a reporter covering the White House, President George W. Bush asked him a question: “Gregory, how’s your faith?” Raised by a Catholic mother and a Jewish dad, David had a strong sense of Jewish cultural and ethnic identity, but no real belief—until his marriage to a Protestant woman of strong faith inspired him to explore his spirituality for himself and his growing family. His spiritual journey has taken him inside Christian mega-churches and into the world of Orthodox Judaism. He’s gone deep into Bible study and asked big questions of America’s most thoughtful religious leaders, including evangelical preacher Joel Osteen; Mohamed Magid, the imam of a big northern Virginia mosque; and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Catholic Archbishop of New York. He has even reconsidered his own childhood, where a belief in God might have helped him through his mother’s struggle with alcoholism. How’s Your Faith? is “an unusual, probing book, part memoir, part cri de coeur, part exploration” (The Boston Globe). David explores spirituality with the curiosity and dedication you would expect from a seasoned journalist, coupled with the “genuine and deeply felt” (The Wall Street Journal) yearning of a true seeker of faith.
