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...
Here we look at the role religion can play in helping men through this crisis, why some young men are turning to faith, and the dangers that can result if the version of religion they get from influencers like Peterson is inaccurate. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social
Doubt isn't the death of faith -- it often provides a route to renewal and new revelation. Here's friend of the show Rabbi Angela Buchdahl talking about how that idea is baked into the fabric of Judaism itself. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Men in the US are facing a crisis of meaning. Many are turning to Christianity for answers. I talk with Richard Reeves, @drmoore.bsky.social & Rasool Berry about how we got here, how religion can help men find their way, and its potential dangers if not done right. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Shamanism isn't just part of small faiths. As @mnvrsngh points out, you can find some elements of it in fast growing areas of Christianity too. On this week's episode of How God Works, we explore the how's & why's of shamanism's continued re-emergence. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...
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...
Speaking in tongues might sound like a fringe practice, but it's a lot more common than most think. We take a look at the science showing it's not a fake or performative act. Like meditation, it changes the brain in verifiable ways that open the mind podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... @prx.org
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
Episode preview here. We take a deep dive into why many men are feeling lost, why some are turning to Christianity for answers, and the benefits & dangers that can follow depending on the messages they receive. Great insights from Richard Reeves, @drmoore.bsky.social & Rasool Berry @aibm.bsky.social
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
