Listen "PAUL RISSE | The Psychedelic Christian"
Episode Synopsis
Paul Risse is a husband, father, community leader, and author of the new book “The Psychedelic Christian.”
I’m new at being a Christian, but I’ve had positive experiences with ayahuasca, sound healing, psychotherapy, and more.
If my stories sound far out, Paul’s experiences are otherworldly:
Lucid dreaming, meditation, gnosticism, Hinduism, raw food veganism, microdosing, psychedelics from every letter of the alphabet, a year of living without electricity, and more.
In Paul's new book, he outlines how his former life led him unexpectedly to Christ.
In our conversation we discussed:
Paul's amazing life story
How some Christian denominations create dangerous environments for believers
Christianity, psychedelics, and sexuality
How we're losing ancestral wisdom to modernity
How I found Christ, or Christ found me, at Burning Man
And finally how Christianity is welcoming travelers bearing stories of journeys in the spirit realms.
These are controversial topics to discuss. To navigate them requires a man of wisdom, integrity, love for humanity, and reverence for God.
As I hope you'll see, these all describe my friend Paul to a T.
