"Living in the Meantime" Podcast: Psychedelics and Soul Care with Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles

Jaime joined Stephen Bauman on Living in the Meantime for a wide-ranging conversation on psychedelics, mysticism, and the Christian faith. Both scholars took part in the landmark Johns Hopkins/NYU psilocybin study, and their shared experience grounds a discussion that moves through ego dissolution, the nature of mystical encounter, and what Scripture itself has to say about direct experiences of God.

Rather than treating psychedelics and Christianity as opposing forces, Jaime and Stephen explore how these experiences might deepen rather than diminish a life of faith. They talk about healing, the difference between religious experience and a faithful daily life, and why the church has good reason to engage this conversation with curiosity and pastoral care instead of avoidance.
