What, if anything, do Near Death Experiences tell us about the mind, the possibility of an afterlife, the source of religion, & even reality itself? This week, we take a look at what science can & can't tell us, and how NDEs profoundly change people. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

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...

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...
This week on How God Works, we explore friendship. Right now, that includes implications of AI chatbot friends. While people report feeling more heard & valued by chatbots, that’s not what makes for a good friend philosopher Samuel Kimbriel (and Aristotle) note. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...
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
Young women are leaving the church in record numbers, even as many young men are looking to it for meaning. What direction this goes next depends on how the debate about the roles of men & women plays out: dominance or complements? My chat with Richard Reeves & @drmoore.bsky.social 1/2
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
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
Is doubt the death of faith, or a way to grow spiritually? In part 1 of our 2 part series on doubt, we talk with poet & @yaledivinityschool.bsky.social prof. Christian Wiman and UVA psychologist Julie Exline about the promise and peril of religious doubt. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
When things are difficult, gratitude can feel out of reach. That's when it's important to remember that gratitude isn't an act of complacency. It can be an act of resistance - a way to know you matter, a way to find strength and resilience. www.wbur.org/onpoint/2025...
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

The cruelty is the point. Dreamers and DACA recipients have lived here, married here, had kids here, and contributed here for years. I’ve spent 20+ years fighting for Dreamers. I will spend the rest of my time in the Senate continuing that fight.
We all know Phoenix is often hot, but not this hot now, earlier than ever before. It’s over 100ºF and it’s only March. That’s not supposed to be possible. What’s going on? #ThisIsClimateChange

This is inconceivable. As a senator who claims to be in defense of public lands, the least Risch could do is show up to these type of votes. As your next senator, you can count on me to defend and protect our public lands - because Idaho is not for sale. #defendpubliclands #achillesforidaho

A few months ago, Gavin Newsom was publicly affirming support for trans and LGBTQ+ people. Now the language has shifted to being more “culturally normal.” That shift isn’t subtle and we notice it. We are human beings. Stand with the TGI community because you care, not because it looks good.

Q: Trump says he doesn't care about the midterms. Do you think he's focused enough on domestic policy? MIKE JOHNSON: What he said was taken out of context and it's so unfair. This president spends more time on domestic issues in one day than Biden did in four. That's an objective fact.
