Caption: PRX default GroupAccount image

In the “How God Works” podcast, professor Dave DeSteno takes us on a journey to find out — one that combines cutting edge neuroscience with ancient wisdom.


He’ll speak to leading scientists, spiritual teachers, and religious leaders to explore what we can learn from faith practices ranging from meditation and prayer to psychedelics and fire-walking. He’ll look at how we can adapt and use spiritual practices in our own lives, whatever our beliefs — including none at all.
