Faith, Psychedelics & Mental Health: The Christian Use of Magic Mushrooms

Sunburnt Souls – Where Faith and Mental Health Collide

In this bold and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Brian Macallan to explore a controversial and increasingly relevant topic: the intersection of Christian faith, mental health, and psychedelics.

We ask the big questions:

• Can substances like magic mushrooms (psilocybin) play a role in healing?
• Do psychedelics have any place in the life of a believer?
• How should Christians approach this complex and evolving conversation?

From theology to therapy, ancient traditions to modern clinical trials, Dr. Macallan shares his research, reflections, and personal insights on navigating this spiritual and scientific frontier.

🔍 What You'll Learn:

• The history of psychedelics in healing and spiritual exploration
• Why some Christians are rethinking their stance
• How to discern truth, danger, and mystery in the unknown
• A theological lens on altered states and encountering God
