Christian responses to religious and spiritual experiences (RSEs) arising from psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT) are explored, proposing four possible perspectives: viewing RSEs as illusions, as inherently evil, as encounters with the Christian God, or as real but occurring beyond Christianity. The paper emphasizes the need for active dialog within the Christian community to avoid hindering individuals seeking mental health relief through PAT.
