Science & religion can work together. On this episode, we look at how Tibetan Buddhist monks & American neuroscientists are working together to study lucid dreaming using a practice called dream yoga which allows control of dreams. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas... @mindandlife.bsky.social

Loneliness is on the rise. That's not news. But maybe part of the reason is: we're no longer sure what it means to be a good friend or lack tools to make it happen. I talk with Sam...

Are we coddling teens? How can we help their transition to adulthood? To find out, I talk with neuroscientist Leah Somerville and religion scholar Connor Wood about the adolescent brain and how rites of passage can help teens better move into adulthood. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... @prx.org
Preview here with @drmoore.bsky.social & pastor Rasool Berry. We take a deep dive into why many men are feeling angry & hopeless, why a growing number of young men are turning to Christianity, and the benefits & potential dangers that can follow depending on the guidance they get. @aibm.bsky.social
As Americans leave organized religion, the moral & emotional needs once met by faith communities remain. Is there a danger in leaving faith, or can we adapt its wisdom to meet our needs today? My discussion with Krista Tippet, Father Greg Boyle, & Rabbi Shira Stutman www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJAJ...
The rise of Jordan Peterson & similar influencers among men doesn't stem from their advice & guidance. Those are pretty basic. It's the demand that signifies the crisis men are facing, and society's failings. I talk with Richard Reeves of @aibm.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Prayer is common to every faith. It's so central to life that many people pray even when they're not sure who or what they're praying to. But what does prayer do for us? We explore the neuroscience & meaning of prayer with Dr. Andrew Newberg & Rabbi Shira Stuntman. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
We used to think that rituals around death were unique to modern humans. But as anthropologist Agustin Fuentes tells us, that's no longer the case. On this episode, we trace the evolution of belief from its earliest glimmers to today, and ask: What comes next? www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...

How God Works is back with a new season starting March 15th. From exploring whether doubt is the death of faith or a path to spiritual growth, to whether an AI God is on the horizon, we'll look at the science behind some of the biggest questions surrounding religion today. 1/2
I completely understand having some concern about profit motives in Big Pharma & Big Ag/Food, but when it makes you cynical about medical science in general, it can go bad fast. And among some in this community, it turns into conspiracy. Devout Christian Francis Collins has it right. RFK is wrong
You never know where you'll find faith. For David Brooks, the realization that people had souls hit on the subway. On this week's episode, I talk with David about his journey, what he thinks religion is for, and what role, if any, science has to play. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
