Whether it's the rushing around, stress, or loneliness, the holidays can be hard. But there's a way to find joy, peace, and connection in the traditional celebrations, IF you do th...

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...

Shamans have always been with us. This week, we explore how shamanism works with @manvir.bsky.social and why forms of it pop up in some surprising places, from modern medicine and...

While it's true that the idea of hell can cause stress and fear, @shadihamid.bsky.social argues that, somewhat paradoxically, it can also offer an opportunity to chill -- a relief of responsibility to ensure complete justice now while maintaining solace that it will be meted out. 🧵
I'm often asked what to do if you want to start a spiritual path but feel like you just can't believe in a higher power. Here's Rabbi Shira Stutman with my favorite answer. Sometimes it's the doing - and doing good - that comes first. From @aspenideas.bsky.social www.aspenideas.org/sessions/los...
In Judaism, religious doubt doesn't mean the end of faith. It's a way for the tradition to renew itself. And as Rabbi Buchdahl tells me, that isn't a bug in the system; it's part of the plan. Link to full episode in following post.
On our new episode, I talk with Paige Harden (@kph3k.bsky.social) about the behavioral genetics of sin, the virtues (if any) of punishment, and how ancient religious ideas around vice & virtue continue to shape our science, policy, and discourse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Wisdom isn’t about what you think; it’s about how you think. It’s using a set of mental tools. On this week’s episode of How God Works, we explore the science behind wisdom with @igi.bsky.social and take a look at modern & centuries old ways of cultivating it. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...
With political violence, social division, & despair on the rise, the US has clearly lost its way. I talked with Krista Tippett & @chrismurphyct.bsky.social about why the country is facing a spiritual, not just political, crisis and how to find our way back. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Ever worry about ending up in the Bad Place? Join me as I talk with @shadihamid.bsky.social & Bart Ehrman on the next episode of How God Works (out Sunday) about how people's thoughts about Hell shape not just their own lives, but societies as a whole. howgodworks.org
From Ramadan, to Lent, to Yom Kippur, fasting plays a central role in many faiths. On this episode, we explore how and why forgoing food in a spiritual context can lead to personal growth instead of just hunger pangs. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
From my conversation with @hubermanlab.com, here's why you shouldn't believe any scientist who says they know for certain that God doesn't exist. Science can & does adjudicate ideas about how the world works. But it can't answer whether God is out there. www.hubermanlab.com/episode/scie...
People are looking to AI for moral guidance. Silicon Valley is talking about AI in religious terms. And Claude seems to enter a spiritual-seeking bliss state at times. What's going on? Join me to explore with @sigalsamuel.bsky.social & @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
