What happens in the brain and body when people pray? And what can that tell us about how we show up for the causes we care about? In this interview, I sit down with Dr. Josh Brahinsky, researcher behind The Prayer Study, and filmmaker Art Hooker, to explore the intersection of neuroscience, prayer, and activism. We talk about what contemplative and prayer practices reveal about surrender, connection, and creativity, and how those insights might support people doing difficult, sustained work in the world.

A week full of travel has The Collective debating their preferred airlines, with Sho and Darryl sharing why they are willing to pay for convenience and peace of mind. After a few obligatory Spirit Airlines jokes (not too much!), the conversation turned to awards season. Up first, the recent controversy at the BAFTA Awards, where “SINNERS” actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were caught up in an “impossible” situation. We share the lessons the controversy can teach the church. Namely, the difficulties, limitations and dangers of “inclusion.” Our admiration of “SINNERS” continues with a celebration of the films historic achievements at the Academy Awards. We discuss the relationship between Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, pairing authenticity with excellence, and the value of surrounding yourselves with brilliant people.
