Renowned philosopher Iain McGilchrist and eminent neuroscientist Anil Seth sit down with me to discuss whether consciousness is a product of brain chemistry or points to God.
They discuss left and right brain hemispheres, panpsychism, theories of consciousness and how meditation and prayer affect our psychology. Seth also describes his atheist-agnostic worldview, and McGilchrist explains his recent embrace of Christian faith.

Is there a purpose to the largest thing of all - The Universe? And does the weird world of the smallest things - Quantum Physics - tell us anything about it?
Atheist theologian Emily Qureshi-Hurst believes the evidence points to a purely physical reality. However, astrophysicist Paul Davies says there's a deeper meaning to the 'directionality' of our cosmos. In this mind-expanding conversation, they join me to explain the science they agree on... and work out where they differ.
This episode will release to the public on 6 April, but regular Silver and Gold level supporters can watch it RIGHT NOW!
“I have been listening to Justin for years. His podcasts feed my soul, and I enjoy the moderated and respectful dialogues that ensue in an age of polarization. Justin has a knack for fostering challenging, reasonable, informative material with an invitational kindness. The newly inaugurated "Uncommon Ground" is a delight, and I highly recommend it. Atheists, Agnostics, and Theists alike will have opportunity to hear alternative points of view expounded by experts in their respective fields.”
