Maybe you’ve heard people talk about hearing God’s voice or feeling a higher presence — and your first reaction is to roll your eyes. Or maybe you’ve had a moment like that yourself but never known what to make of it. You’re skeptical, but curious.

The truth is, this topic makes people uncomfortable. It’s loaded with religious baggage and often framed as anti-intellectual. But what if — scientifically — it’s real?

That’s why we sat down with Dr. Lisa Miller — an Ivy League scientist, bestselling author, and one of the pioneers in mapping the spiritual brain. Her research proves what skeptics have long dismissed and what seekers have quietly known all along: that we are biologically wired for spirituality. And if that’s true, it changes everything.

In this episode, we explore what happens when you make regular connection with a higher power part of your life. This conversation isn’t about dogma or religion — it’s about what it means to live with rhythms of connection that shape how you move through the world, how you handle suffering, and how you experience joy.

Even if you’re skeptical, this conversation matters. Because if the science is right, it may be the most important capacity you carry inside you.
