Where Science Meets Spirit - Exploring evidence, experience, and the unseen — with Penny Hayward

What happens when we stop trying to prove or disprove spiritual experience — and simply explore it?

In this thoughtful and measured conversation, Jason is joined by Penny Hayward to explore the meeting point between science, spirituality, and lived human experience. Rather than taking a position for or against belief, this episode sits comfortably in curiosity, reflection, and intellectual honesty.

Together, they discuss how spiritual experiences are explored within academic and research settings, why evidence matters — but also where it reaches its limits — and how people encounter meaning, mystery, and the “unseen” without needing dogma, hierarchy, or certainty.

This is not a conversation about answers.
 It’s a conversation about how we ask questions.

What you’ll hear

• The difference between scientific evidence and lived experience
• Why not everything meaningful can be measured or explained
• How spirituality is explored within academic research
• The role of curiosity over belief or disbelief
• Sitting comfortably with uncertainty and “not knowing”
• Discernment, grounding, and intellectual humility in spiritual exploration

Who this episode is for

• Listeners who feel caught between logic and intuition
• Those curious about spirituality without religion or dogma
• People who value reflection over certainty
• Anyone interested in consciousness, meaning, and human experience
• Listeners who are comfortable sitting with unanswered questions

This episode doesn’t ask you to believe anything.
 It invites you to think, reflect, and notice how you relate to the unknown.
