  • Study with Jimmy Akin: Religion and Parapsychology

    Study with Jimmy Akin: Religion and Parapsychology
    Feb 4 2026

    Ancient faiths and modern psi research come together in this course to be taught by Jimmy Akin. The online course, Religion & Parapsychology, will explore how Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and more have grappled with ESP, miracles, and the afterlife—and why serious evidence may challenge both skeptics and believers alike: What if psi research strengthens, rather than weakens, core religious claims about the soul, revelation, and the spiritual world?

A broad-based topically diverse podcast, unique in the field in that it takes on honest and earnest review of phenomena from across the popular press “hot topics”. Best of all, it does not give short shrift to the hard science, but rather lays out the depth and breadth of scientific understanding on a subject matter; then, it shifts gears to consider the same topic from the perspective of the Church. You’ll be surprised just how many issues in science and popular culture are not in opposition to Church teachings. Thought provoking.

Jimmy Akin’s podcast is unafraid to tackle issues from both a scientific perspective AND the Catholic teachings.

Some of the topics sound super interesting, some of the topics sound super dull. Somehow I'm drawn in to every single episode. Jimmy not only teaches about a topic using sound scientific methods, as well as teaches about the faith through a lens of something "mysterious" about our world, but in doing so, he also teaches how to be an amateur scientist and apologist by breaking down his method of exploration which in turn teaches us how to be better citizens of our universe.

The only podcast I HAVE to listen to every week
