        <![CDATA[<p>In this conversation, Giles Goddard and Halima Gosai Hussein are joined by Natasha Chawla for a wide-ranging exploration of faith, change, and the unexpected places where different spiritual rivers meet. Drawing on their journeys within Christianity, Islam, and Hindu philosophy, they reflect on the traditions they inherited, the moments that reshaped them, and what it means to remain rooted while allowing faith to evolve.</p><p>Along the way they explore rivers as both metaphor and reality: places of origin, transformation, and encounter. The conversation moves between story and reflection — from pilgrimage and practice to ecology, justice, and the sacred in everyday life — offering a glimpse of how people from very different traditions can sit together with curiosity, generosity, and hope.</p><p>Conversation starts at 19m 10s</p><p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/giles-goddard-halima-hussein-natasha-chawla-where-rivers-meet-three-faith-traditions-in-conversation-n367/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p><p>The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Lucy Sixsmith joins Nomad to explore the world of Soul Survivor and the wider charismatic culture that shaped so many young Christians in the 1990s and 2000s. Drawing on her new book <a href="https://canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/9781786226150/when-the-music-fades">When the Music Fades</a>, Lucy reflects on surrender language, “chosen generation” spirituality, and the subtle ways power can operate in spaces that feel warm, funny and down to earth.</p><p>Together we ask what happens when revival language, humility and the longing to be part of something bigger become tangled up with pressure, disappointment and the cost of being “special”. This is a conversation about youth, worship, authority, memory and what, if anything, remains when the music fades.</p><p>After the interview, Tim and Nick reflect on their different experiences of Soul Survivor and the charismatic culture around it. They explore surrender, revival, and the pressure of “changing the world”, asking whether what felt like surrender to God was sometimes also a surrender to the culture itself. It’s a thoughtful conversation about power, disappointment, and what a more grounded faith might look like when the intensity fades.</p><p>Interview starts at 17m 22s</p><p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/lucy-sixsmith-soul-survivor-surrender-the-cost-of-being-special-n365/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p><p>The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>In this gentle and quietly unsettling conversation, <a href="https://www.hirokoyoda.com/">Hiroko Yoda</a> invites us into a world where spirituality doesn’t begin with belief, but with attention. Drawing on her Japanese upbringing and her book <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/eight-million-ways-to-happiness-9781526672162/">Eight Million Ways to Happiness</a>, Hiroko reflects on grief, ancestors, everyday ritual, and the idea of “half belief, half doubt” — a way of living that makes space for ambiguity rather than trying to resolve it. From small shrines in city parks to the simple act of taking a walk, she describes spirituality as a set of tools for pausing, noticing, and staying connected to the living world around us.</p><p>Together, Tim and Hiroko explore what happens when faith becomes less about certainty and more about participation: how joy and play find their way into sacred spaces, why traditions can be blended and remixed without anxiety, and what it might mean to belong without needing to define what you believe.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this gentle and quietly unsettling conversation, <a href="https://www.hirokoyoda.com/">Hiroko Yoda</a> invites us into a world where spirituality doesn’t begin with belief, but with attention. Drawing on her Japanese upbringing and her book <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/eight-million-ways-to-happiness-9781526672162/">Eight Million Ways to Happiness</a>, Hiroko reflects on grief, ancestors, everyday ritual, and the idea of “half belief, half doubt” — a way of living that makes space for ambiguity rather than trying to resolve it. From small shrines in city parks to the simple act of taking a walk, she describes spirituality as a set of tools for pausing, noticing, and staying connected to the living world around us.</p><p>Together, Tim and Hiroko explore what happens when faith becomes less about certainty and more about participation: how joy and play find their way into sacred spaces, why traditions can be blended and remixed without anxiety, and what it might mean to belong without needing to define what you believe.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this Nomad Revisited episode, we return to a 2017 conversation with Anglican priest, poet, and writer <a href="https://www.rachelmann.co.uk/">Rachel Mann</a>. As the first trans person interviewed on Nomad, the exchange unfolds in a spirit of curiosity and vulnerability, with questions that are sometimes tentative and awkward, met by Rachel’s remarkable patience, clarity, and generosity of spirit.</p><p>The conversation explores identity as something lived into rather than solved, faith as something encountered in vulnerability rather than certainty, and God as a presence found in darkness, woundedness, and becoming. Rachel reflects on transition, embodiment, sexuality, and the slow work of becoming a self who can live a life rather than perform one — offering not answers so much as an invitation into mystery, nuance, and transformation.</p><p>After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Nick reflect on what it means to live with questions rather than conclusions — exploring identity as something embodied, evolving, and discovered over time, rather than fixed or declared.</p><p>Interview starts at 17m 43s</p><p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/rachel-mann-identity-darkness-divine-mystery-revisited-n361/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p><p>If you’ve found Nomad helpful and would like to support the ongoing work of the podcast, you can make a one-off donation via our secure Stripe donation page.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode we speak with Anglican Deacon and writer Jayne Manfredi, whose work explores the female body as a place of truth-telling, theological insight and spiritual transformation. Jayne talks with striking honesty about midlife, menopause and the shifting experience of embodiment — the leaking, aching, changing realities many women learn to hide — and reflects on the Church’s persistent discomfort with women’s bodies and the silence that often surrounds this life stage.</p><p>Drawing on her book <a href="https://canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/9781786225757/waking-the-women">Waking the Women</a>, Jayne describes menopause as a kind of wilderness: a time when old maps fail, identities unravel and a more authentic self begins to emerge. She speaks of rage, grief, liberation and the unexpected sense of resurrection that can follow the drying-up of long-held roles and expectations. Along the way she reflects on class and authenticity, the pressure to remain “nice”, and the ways midlife invites a more grounded, embodied, unapologetic faith.</p><p>This is a conversation about bodies, meaning and the sacred work of becoming ourselves in midlife, told with warmth, humour and fierce honesty.</p><p>After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Joy Brooks consider what Jayne’s insights stirred in them, reflecting on embodiment, ageing, social expectations, and the wide range of experiences that shape how different people navigate midlife.</p><p>Interview starts at 12m 39s</p><p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/jayne-manfredi-midlife-menopause-and-meaning-n358/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p><p>The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Palestinian peace activist <a href="https://sami-awad.com/">Sami Awad</a> has lived his whole life under military occupation. He’s witnessed violence, loss, and deep injustice. Yet rather than turning towards hatred or certainty, he’s journeyed into a spirituality rooted in compassion, healing, and what he calls Christ consciousness — a way of seeing that refuses separation and fear.</p><p>In this conversation, Sami reflects on what it means to love your enemy amid war, to resist without hatred, and to awaken to the divine even in the midst of suffering. He speaks about his rejection of institutional Christianity, his lifelong commitment to nonviolence, and how ritual, grief, and steadfastness have become his practices of hope.</p><p>Following the interview, Tim and Anna reflect on how Sami’s experience of faith under occupation challenges their own journeys. They discuss privilege, embodiment, and what it means to find Jesus beyond the institution. Together they explore sumud — steadfastness — as a contemplative form of resistance, and how love, rather than fear, can become the organising principle of faith.</p><p>Interview starts at 17m 39s</p><p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/sami-awad-christ-consciousness-under-occupation-n356/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p><p>The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Tim speaks with Episcopal priest and author Kira Austin-Young, about the moral, theological, and pastoral dimensions of abortion.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, we speak with therapist Joy Brooks about spiritual bypassing—how well-meaning spiritual beliefs and practices can sometimes mask or avoid the difficult emotions and wounds we all carry.

She also explores how the Christian tradition holds resources for facing the “messiness” of being human, embracing vulnerability, and resisting the temptation to perform a polished, “all-good” spirituality.</p> <p>Following the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on their own experiences with spiritual bypassing and the importance of creating safe spaces where questioning and emotional honesty are welcomed rather than shunned.</p> <p>Interview starts at 14m 19s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/joy-brooks-faiths-shadow-side-facing-spiritual-bypassing-n347/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Yet through all this, he offers a simple but radical reframing—what if we are not only capable of love, but made of it?</p> <p>Drawing from spiritual wisdom traditions and personal insight, Gareth gently calls us to see ourselves and one another as we truly are: not broken beyond repair, not merely surviving—but bearers of gifts and just a little lower than the angels.</p> <p>Following Gareth’s reflection, <a href="https://www.livelightdwelldeep.org/">Anna Robinson</a> leads us in a gentle stilling and examen practice, inviting us to pause, listen, and carry the meditation into our lived experience.</p> <p>Original music for this episode was composed and produced by <a href="https://www.wilderthorn.com/">Wilderthorn</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/gareth-higgins-a-little-lower-than-the-angels-n343/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p>The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, wonderfully ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful, wonderful listeners.

While our answers may not always be the most accurate or helpful, they’ll hopefully spark some meaningful conversations and perhaps a few laughs along the way.</p> <p>So join us as we wrestle with profound and playful questions alike, such as:</p> <p>•    “Has the loss of a loved one after your deconstruction brought back old fears about the afterlife?”</p> <p>•    “What’s the one thing you struggle most to let go of from your ‘earnest evangelical days’?”</p> <p>•    “If you could go back to when you were 20, what advice would you give yourself?”</p> <p>•    “You’ve been made Archbishop of Canterbury for a day. You can make all churches in the UK do three things—what are they?”</p> <p>Pour yourself a festive drink, get comfortable, and join us for an episode brimming with honesty, humour, and gratitude for the community that makes this journey so special.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/christmas-qa-n334/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>To kick off 2024 we thought we’d share a Nomad Revisited episode with you. Each month on Revisited Tim and Nick raid the Nomad archives, dust off an old interview, and ponder where their faith was then, where it is now, and what influences shaped that transition.</p> <p>Nomad Revisited is usually tucked away behind a paywall on our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/nomadpodcast">Patreon page</a> as a little thank you for the listeners who help us pay the bills. But we’re making this one freely available as a little New Years treat.</p> <p>In this Revisited, we travel back to 2015 and a conversation Tim had with the much loved blogger and author <a href="https://rachelheldevans.com/">Rachel Held Evans</a>. Rachel was one of the early pioneers in the deconstruction space, blogging about her experiences of growing up in a fundamentalist Bible Belt culture, and her experiences of publicly questioning this.</p> <p>Rachel became a beacon of hope for thousands of people wrestling with an evolving faith. But sadly she died suddenly in 2019 at just 37, leaving a husband and two young children. So this is an episode marked by sadness, but also a celebration of a beautiful life. </p> <p>Interview starts at 15m 42s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/rachel-held-evans-losing-my-evangelical-religion-revisited-n312/">  Books, Quotes, Links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this Christmas devotional podcast, <a href="https://christenacleveland.com/">Dr Christena Cleveland</a> explores the symbolism of the Black Madonna.

        <![CDATA[<p>We speak with <a href="https://www.presence.tv/">Doug King</a> about the evolution of his faith, progressing from Christian fundamentalism to a post-Christian identity. At the heart of Doug’s understanding of this journey is the historical framework of Spiral Dynamics, a model that illuminates the evolution of worldviews across cultures worldwide. This model reveals that the journey many of us have been on - from fundamentalism, through deconstruction, to a more expansive, inclusive spirituality - are not isolated personal experiences, but an integral part of the collective evolution of the human race.  </p> <p>After the interview Tim and Nick share their own experience of Spiral Dynamics, and how it’s helped them make sense of their own journeys.</p> <p>Interview starts at 18m 58s </p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/doug-king-spiral-dynamics-deconstruction-and-the-future-of-faith-n299/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode we speak with former church pastor, author and teacher <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/keithgiles/">Keith Giles</a>. Like many evangelicals, Keith inherited a dispensational understanding of the End Times. If you’re not sure what that is, think anti-Christ, mark of the Beast, the rapture, Jesus’s return, and the New Jerusalem. Keith slowly became aware that this was a relatively new, ill-informed and damaging way of reading the bible. So he set about discovering a healthier ‘End Times’ vision.</p> <p>After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on their own experiences of dispensational End Times theology, and how their faith deconstruction and subsequent embrace of a more progressive faith has reshaped that. </p> <p>Interview starts at 11m 40s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/keith-giles-ending-the-end-times-n264/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Diana talks about her latest book <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Freeing-Jesus-Rediscovering-Teacher-Presence/dp/0062659537/ref=sr_1_1?crid=I3NJTXQBB3CB&amp;keywords=freeing+jesus&amp;qid=1664292824&amp;qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC43NCIsInFzcCI6IjAuNzIifQ%3D%3D&amp;sprefix=freeing+jesus%2Caps%2C83&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noreferrer noopener">Freeing Jesus</a>, in which she tracks the evolution of her understanding and experience of Jesus.

        <![CDATA[<p>It’s always a pleasure to have author, activist, and public theologian <a href="https://brianmclaren.net/">Brian McLaren</a> on Nomad. This time we talk with Brian about the vital role that doubt plays in our faith development. Brian breaks down the faith journey into four stages - simplicity, complexity, perplexity and harmony. He talks about the struggles and joys of each stage, and how it’s only when we embrace our doubts that we can grow and move onto the next stage. After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley ponder the role doubt played in the evangelicalism they inherited, and in the deconstruction and reconstruction of their faith.</p> <p>Interview starts at 20m 14s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/brian-mclaren-faith-after-doubt-n249/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>It’s always a pleasure to have author, activist, and public theologian <a href="https://brianmclaren.net/">Brian McLaren</a> on Nomad. This time we talk with Brian about the vital role that doubt plays in our faith development. Brian breaks down the faith journey into four stages - simplicity, complexity, perplexity and harmony. He talks about the struggles and joys of each stage, and how it’s only when we embrace our doubts that we can grow and move onto the next stage. After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley ponder the role doubt played in the evangelicalism they inherited, and in the deconstruction and reconstruction of their faith.</p> <p>Interview starts at 20m 14s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/brian-mclaren-faith-after-doubt-n249/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Following on from our conversation with Matthew Fox, in this episode Anna Robinson leads us in a meditation that explores the spirituality of the remarkable 14th Century mystic Julian of Norwich. Anna gives us a short introduction to Julian and how she lived through a deadly global pandemic, suffered loss and yet still wholeheartedly pursued God, and received visions that Christians are still pondering nearly seven centuries later. Anna then uses a breathwork technique to help us to become present and more relaxed and then leads us in a lectio divina mediation based around some of Julian’s words. Anna then finishes with a short examen and closing prayer. </p> <p>Anna produces meditations like this each month.

        <![CDATA[<p>Matthew Fox is an American priest and spiritual theologian and an activist for gender and eco-justice. His work on creation spirituality and mysticism has given him the reputation of being one of the most challenging religious-spiritual teachers in America.

        <![CDATA[<p>Merry Christmas, beloved listeners!  In this episode we hear from Revd Canon Eve Pitts. Having missed Christmas in their church last year, due to repairs, the residents of Birchfield were looking forward carols and candles in their building. But 2020 being what it is, Eve wondered if Christmas might as well be cancelled all together. However, perhaps living in a time of restrictions, precarity and mess is all the more Christmassy. Eve reflects on the humanity of Mary, the messiness of birth, and the God who is found in the places where nobody wants to live.</p> <p> The music is from the EP <a href="https://thebloodmagnetic.bandcamp.com/album/epiphany-ep">Epiphany</a> by The Blood Magnetic.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/eve-pitts-a-messy-christmas-n238/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Having missed Christmas in their church last year, due to repairs, the residents of Birchfield were looking forward carols and candles in their building. But 2020 being what it is, Eve wondered if Christmas might as well be cancelled all together. However, perhaps living in a time of restrictions, precarity and mess is all the more Christmassy. Eve reflects on the humanity of Mary, the messiness of birth, and the God who is found in the places where nobody wants to live.</p> <p> The music is from the EP <a href="https://thebloodmagnetic.bandcamp.com/album/epiphany-ep">Epiphany</a> by The Blood Magnetic.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/eve-pitts-a-messy-christmas-n238/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode we speak with therapist, theologian and author, Mark Karris. For anyone going through a faith deconstruction, prayer is often near the top of the list of things we struggle to make sense of. And Mark is certainly no exception to this. He had the kind of traumatic childhood you’d only expect to see in a film. But despite all his prayers, and the prayers of his church, the situation steadily deteriorated. So we asked Mark why so often our prayers aren’t answered? How can a God of love observe such suffering without intervening? Why does God often seem to answer quite trivial prayers, and ignore the more significant ones? Mark has a fascinating take on all our questions, and proposes a hopeful, loving and grounded vision of prayer.</p> <p>After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on their own faith deconstruction and how it has radically redefined how they understand and practice prayer. </p> <p>Interview starts at 17m 45s.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/mark-karris-the-perils-of-petitionary-prayer-n228/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church at Trafalgar Square, London and professor of Christian ethics at King's College, Sam Wells shares his belief that to live well is to improvise well. He defines improvisation in the theatre as "a practice through which actors seek to develop trust in themselves and one another in order that they may conduct unscripted dramas without fear." And that, he believes, is how we should approach life. Building trust, overcoming fear, conducting relationships, and making choices - all without a script. The Bible therefore is not a ‘script’ but a training school that shapes our habits and practices. And living well is "faithfully improvising on the Christian tradition." </p> <p>After the interview Nomad hosts David Blower and Nick Thorley reflect on how Sam's ideas might shape their evolving faith. </p> <p>Interview starts at 16m 30s. </p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/sam-wells-improvising-faith-n223/">Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode we speak with anabaptist, anarchist and Christian animist, Noel Moules. Christian and animism are perhaps two words you haven’t heard together before, in fact you may well think that animism sounds somewhat dodgy! Noel shows us though how Jesus himself held to this ancient indigenous worldview, where rather than matter and spirit being understood as dualistic opposites, the entire natural world is sentient, personable and alive. </p> <p>So we ask Noel how this revelation has changed the way he understands and relates to God. And how he loves his neighbour now his neighbour includes everything from birds to trees?!</p> <p>After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on how animism might shape their own evolving faith. </p> <p>Interview starts at 15m 16s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/noel-moules-christian-animism-and-the-re-enchantment-of-the-world-n214/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>On this episode we speak with theology professor and climate change activist Timothy Gorringe about the climate crisis. Towards the end of last year the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change released a pretty bleak report. In summary, the report said that the situation is much worse than we previously thought, and unless we reduce global carbon emissions to zero by 2050, then by the end of this century the earth will be a very hostile place to live. </p> <p>So we ask Prof. Gorringe how we are meant to respond? How can we as individuals radically reduce our carbon footprint? And how can we put pressures on government to move towards creating a carbon neutral society? And we ponder the theology of the potential collapse of human civilisation.</p> <p>After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley try to process everything Prof. Gorringe said, and figure out what all this means for the ongoing evolution of their faith and lifestyle.</p> <p>Interview begins at 22m 50s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/timothy-gorringe-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it-n193/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p><a href="https://brianzahnd.com/">Brian Zahnd</a> is back on the show.

In it he takes aim at the toxic relationship between Church and Empire, and the religion that has emerged from it, which he calls Americanism. This religion has its own liturgies, gods and sacrificial systems, nearly all of which stands in direct opposition to how the early church understood what it meant to follow Jesus.</p> <p>So how are followers of Jesus meant to respond? What does it mean to be Church? What spiritual practices can help us stay awake to what feels like an ever more toxic political and religious environment? What does it mean to be a Christian in the age of Trump?</p> <p>After the interview, Nomad hosts David Blower and Tim Nash reflect on these and many other questions.</p> <p>Interview begins at 16m 26s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/brian-zahnd-christians-in-the-age-of-trump-n188/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Enneagram trainer Liz West joins us on the show to talk about this ancient tool for transformation. You may have seen the rather "dodgy" looking enneagram symbol, but don’t be put off. This is an ancient treasure that goes right back to the fourth century desert mothers and fathers who began to discern the things that blocked our relationships with ourselves, with others and with God. And that’s what make the enneagram unique. It doesn’t so much reveal who you are, as the coping mechanisms you’ve developed that have become blockages to your transformation.</p> <p>After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Jemimah McAlpine reflect on their their enneagram 5ness, and how it's shaped their life and faith.</p> <p>And if all that's not enough to convince you, head over to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/nomadpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer">patreon</a> or our own <a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/membership/nomad-membership-signup/"> membership platform</a> where you can listen in on Tim getting enneagram-ed in a bonus Nomad Extra episode!</p> <p>Interview begins at 17m 9s</p> <p>If you’re still not convinced having listened to the interview, then head over to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/nomadpodcast">patreon</a> where you can listen in on Tim getting enneagram-ed!</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/liz-west-the-enneagram-9-pathways-for-spiritual-growth-n185/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

You may have seen the rather "dodgy" looking enneagram symbol, but don’t be put off. This is an ancient treasure that goes right back to the fourth century desert mothers and fathers who began to discern the things that blocked our relationships with ourselves, with others and with God. And that’s what make the enneagram unique. It doesn’t so much reveal who you are, as the coping mechanisms you’ve developed that have become blockages to your transformation.</p> <p>After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Jemimah McAlpine reflect on their their enneagram 5ness, and how it's shaped their life and faith.</p> <p>And if all that's not enough to convince you, head over to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/nomadpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer">patreon</a> or our own <a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/membership/nomad-membership-signup/"> membership platform</a> where you can listen in on Tim getting enneagram-ed in a bonus Nomad Extra episode!</p> <p>Interview begins at 17m 9s</p> <p>If you’re still not convinced having listened to the interview, then head over to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/nomadpodcast">patreon</a> where you can listen in on Tim getting enneagram-ed!</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/liz-west-the-enneagram-9-pathways-for-spiritual-growth-n185/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>From just two verses at the end of Romans, <a href="https://www.gooder.me.uk/">Paula Gooder</a> has gleaned some fascinating insights about Phoebe.

        <![CDATA[<p>Professor <a href="http://thomasjayoord.com/">Thomas Oord</a> has spent years wrestling with the problem of evil. Why, if God is all powerful and all loving, is there so much evil in the world? This question has brought Thomas to the edge of his faith. In recent years, though, he has begun to consider a radical solution. Perhaps God <em>can't</em> stop evil? As shocking as this sounds, Thomas is careful to show how biblical this idea is, and just how much it looks like Jesus. Tune in for a mind bending episode!</p> <p><em>“If God really didn’t want something and God had the power to stop it – to prevent it – then God should do so, if God is perfectly loving. And so this idea of saying ‘God won’t stop evil’ ends up making God ultimately culpable for failing to prevent it. And so I’ve come to believe that we need to take the next step and say that God really can’t stop evil.”</em> - Thomas Oord</p> <p>Interview begins at 11m 21s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/thomas-oord-the-god-who-cant-n168/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Georgia May's parents had an open-door policy. Literally. Most of the time the front door of their home was left open, so that people would feel welcome at any time. Consequently, Georgia grew up with a house full of people who's didn't feel they had a family of their own. This radical approach to hospitality led to many lives being transformed. But Georgia also knows first hand what can happen when radical hospitality goes wrong. So we ask her, when is radical too radical?</p> <p><em>“Radical hospitality is holding things in tension. Holding openness and boundedness in tension. And radical is too radical when you loose all sense of what boundaries are about. So, I think hospitality is too radical when you loose who you are in the process; when you are seeing boundaries as walls that just need to be removed.

Qashoush's song is mocking president Bashar al-Assad. Qashoush was later found dead in the Orontes River, his throat cut and his vocal cords ripped out. You can watch the video of the performance with subtitled lyrics on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCS8SsFOBAI">YouTube</a>. </p> <p><em>“If we confine our political activity to organizing demos and strikes, we are missing a trick - a trick which members of the establishment have never missed.

        <![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.queervirtue.com/">Elizabeth Edman</a> believes she has learnt more from the LGBTQ community about what it means to be a Christian, than she has from the Church. Why? Well, she believes the church has forgotten what it means to be scandalous, to struggle for identity and to expand its boundaries to include the marginalised. And so the Church needs to learn from the gay community - and other marginalised groups - that have embraced these virtues. It's an insightful and challenging conversation!</p> <p><em>"Christianity was meant to be an inherently scandalous movement. Jesus entered into scandal every opportunity that he could..."</em> - Elizabeth Edman</p> <p>Interview starts at 6m 16s</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/elizabeth-edman-queer-virtue-n155/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Why? Well, she believes the church has forgotten what it means to be scandalous, to struggle for identity and to expand its boundaries to include the marginalised. And so the Church needs to learn from the gay community - and other marginalised groups - that have embraced these virtues.

        <![CDATA[<p>Every now and then we like to interview a fellow podcaster who, like us, is creating a space for an open and honest exploration of the Christian faith. And Justin Brierley is one such person. Over the last 11 years he's been producing <a href="https://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable"> Unbelievable?</a>, on which he moderates conversations between Christians and people from others faiths and none. So firstly I took the opportunity to see if he suffers from the same podcaster insecurities that I do. Then we dug into whether apologetics - the rational defence of the faith - still has a place in our post-secular culture, and in a faith that seems increasingly comfortable with mystery and doubt. </p> <p><em>“Apologetics runs the huge risk of becoming a case of moving intellectual pieces on a chess board. And that’s not the point of Christianity.”</em> - Justin Brierley</p> <p>Interview starts at 6m 8s.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/nomad-131-justin-brierley-reason-relevant/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Every now and then we like to interview a fellow podcaster who, like us, is creating a space for an open and honest exploration of the Christian faith. And Justin Brierley is one such person. Over the last 11 years he's been producing <a href="https://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable"> Unbelievable?</a>, on which he moderates conversations between Christians and people from others faiths and none. So firstly I took the opportunity to see if he suffers from the same podcaster insecurities that I do. Then we dug into whether apologetics - the rational defence of the faith - still has a place in our post-secular culture, and in a faith that seems increasingly comfortable with mystery and doubt. </p> <p><em>“Apologetics runs the huge risk of becoming a case of moving intellectual pieces on a chess board. And that’s not the point of Christianity.”</em> - Justin Brierley</p> <p>Interview starts at 6m 8s.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/nomad-131-justin-brierley-reason-relevant/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Priest, poet and feminist theologian, Rachel Mann is a trans-woman. From an early age she had a profound sense that her body didn't reflect her gender. After a long, frustrating and painful journey she emerged into the woman she is today. We ask Rachel to look back over this transition and reflect on what it means to be human, what place gender has in our identity, and what she's learnt from seeing the word through male and female eyes. Tune into the podcast for a fascinating and challenging conversation. </p> <p><em>“What I discovered is that to be a woman is to be second class, is to be judged in entirely different ways; it’s a stepping into the shadows; it’s a stepping away from power.

        <![CDATA[<p>Christianity can be quite a disembodied faith. Muslim's have prayer positions, Hindu's have yoga, Buddhists have Tai-Chi, whereas Christians tend to pray with little more than a bowed head.

We caught up with Dave at the Greenbelt Festival to uncover what exactly this means! </p> <p><em>“Once we understand that the heart of ‘jihad’ is a non-violent struggle for justice, then of course Jesus becomes the ultimate role model of a sacrificial, compassionate, subversive but non-violent agent of change.”</em> - Dave Andrews</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/nomad-91-dave-andrews-the-jihad-of-jesus/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

We caught up with Dave at the Greenbelt Festival to uncover what exactly this means! </p> <p><em>“Once we understand that the heart of ‘jihad’ is a non-violent struggle for justice, then of course Jesus becomes the ultimate role model of a sacrificial, compassionate, subversive but non-violent agent of change.”</em> - Dave Andrews</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/nomad-91-dave-andrews-the-jihad-of-jesus/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Mike McHargue describes himself as a Christian turned atheist turned follower of Jesus. That's right, Mike was a fully-fledged conservative evangelical Christian, but his faith crumbled away and he found himself in the rather awkward position of being a Church deacon who no longer believed in God! Then Mike rediscovered faith, but in a very different way. Now he teaches on science, faith, atheism, doubt and knowing God. It's a great story. Enjoy! </p> <p><em>“I know many people who are happy, healthy, well-adjusted atheists or secular humanists and I don’t have any desire to take that away from them. My heart is for the people who – like me – hunger to know God, who desire to know God, who miss feeling God is real. And for those people, I don’t offer Scripture.

So she seemed like a pretty good person to ask, 'why not women?'. </p> <p><em>“The relationship with God is what is being drawn out of these stories.

        <![CDATA[<p>Sara Miles was an atheist. Then one day, out of idle curiosity, she wandered into a church, had a bite of bread and a sip of wine and God came crashing into her life. Her response was to take the principles of communion and set up a food distribution centre around the altar of her church for anyone and everyone to enjoy. So tune in for some fascinating insights into what it means to eat at God's table. </p> <p><em>“I think the way that communion changes everything is precisely because of the universality and the catholicity of it – that it’s impossible to have this meal by yourself. This is the only meal in the world you can’t buy and you can’t eat it alone. So, all the business of religion that’s about exclusion or boundaries or drawing lines is subverted by this meal that’s offered for free to people who don’t deserve it, to people who aren’t prepared for it.”</em> - Sara Miles</p> <p><a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/nomad-74-sara-miles-whose-table-the-radical-inclusiveness-of-communion/"> Books, quotes, links →</a></p> <p class="">The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>Pete Ward is senior lecturer in youth ministry and theological education at King's College, London. About 10 years ago now Pete wrote <em>Liquid Church</em>, and it turned out to be rather influential.
