Youtube Thumbnail Episode 26 (1)

A production of Think Faith in partnership with Genexis, and support from The Jerusalem Trust and the Christian Evidence Society.

The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God podcast with Justin Brierley.

Psychedelics are back in vogue as influencers promote hallucinogens as a gateway to spiritual enlightenment. The boom in mind-expanding drugs even seems to be opening up some people to the possibility of God. But what are the dangers of taking shortcuts to the transcendent?

Justin hears from those arguing for and against the psychedelic resurgence including Mikhaila Peterson, Alan Noble, Alex O'Connor, Shawn Ryan, Iain McGilchrist and Phil Cotnoir. Ashley Lande explains why her search for enlightenment through psilocybin, LSD and mushrooms led her to some dark places, and how she found her way back to Christ.
