#37 — T.M. Luhrmann | How Does God Become Real?

Are you skeptical about being able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit? Where's the proof and what's the difference between healthy voice hearing and pathology? Our guest, T. M. Luhrmann, an anthropologist trained in psychology and the author of "When God Talks Back", explores her studies on prayer processes that lead to a place where God is profoundly real and His voice can be heard amid the clutter of everyday thoughts. Discover what information is out there about rational, sensible people who are able to experience the presence of a powerful yet invisible being and sustain that belief in an environment of overwhelming skepticism.
