106: You Made It!...Are you Happy? w/ Steve Hunter (LDS Bishop and Ayahuasca)

Mormons on Mushrooms

Here we go! It has taken over 100 episodes but we finally interview our first active, believing Latter-day Saint. We could not have conjured up a more genuine, loving human than Steve Hunter, a recent LDS Bishop who was featured in the RollingStone article on The Divine Assembly. Years ago, Steve was led to ayahuasca as an active, believing member of the church.
We talk about so much in this episode, including:

• Steve's Ayahuasca experience
• Difficulty putting transcendent experiences into words
• How psychedelics found us
• The intention you bring into a ceremony determines what you get out of it
• RollingStone article
• Andrew Garfield and Under the Banner of Heaven
• Malcolm X - "When you take on step towards Allah, Allah takes 10 steps towards you"
• Paul Young and The Shack
• Jesus as an attainable example of how we could live
• "God cannot use you unless you are at ZERO"
• "You are the key; you are the thing you seek"
• "You left in search of God, I stayed in search of God"
• And so much more!

Steve's humility, authenticity and courage are inspiring and contagious. We can't wait for you to listen!
