Three dark vortex beings haunt Paul Risse for three straight days, taunting him in his lucid dreams with promises of power. What starts as an exploration of consciousness becomes a supernatural battle that reshapes his entire worldview. Paul is the author of The Psychedelic Christian, and his journey runs from a TV-free childhood in Texas to consuming psychedelics close to a thousand times in a desperate search for truth. He goes off-grid with no electricity. He fasts for thirty days at a stretch. He pushes his mind further than most people ever dare. He eats mushrooms close to a thousand times. And in the end, he finds that only the name of Jesus can protect him from the entities he meets along the way.
This is the conversation we could not put on the public feed. Paul sits in the basement and tackles the controversial connection between psychedelics and spirituality. He unpacks biblical pharmakeia, the Watchers, and their role in teaching humanity about root cuttings, and why he believes the modern church holds a truncated view of the supernatural. He shares powerful testimonies of healing from abuse, overcoming addiction, and the unconventional path that leads him to a deeper relationship with Christ. His story challenges traditional boundaries while staying grounded in Scripture.
