This week on The Tiny Pod is all About Faith. Faith isn't just a feeling, it is a state of being fully sure. Faith is inner fortitude. “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Everything we now see was once unseen: houses, buildings, clothes, cars were all once just faith that they were possible. Faith is not 'I’ll believe it when I see it,' Faith is "I will see it when I believe it. I will see it because I believe it> Faith is not a strategy, it is a frequency, a walk of life, a choice. Faith is not subject to or dependent on external circumstances, faith remains constant. Faith is a choice that strengthens in endurance and comforts in the storms. Faith is connection.
I have loved creating podcasts here on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. It took a leap of faith to begin the Tiny Pod, and what started as a Tiny Pod, a mustard seed of faith, has grown into a tree. This will be my last episode here on Spotify And Apple Podcasts. This sanctuary is moving to Patreon. I am really excited about this next chapter. Patreon feels safe, secure and intentional, a community where people invest, choose and connect. I value my podcasts and am taking a leap of faith that Patreon will sustain The Tiny Pod. To those who want to, I will see you on the other side on Patreon. To everyone else, I wish you peace, love and faith on your journey.

This week on The Tiny Pod, in honour of last week's 81st UN General Assembly, is all About United. The word united is past tense, implying unity, unison, union has already been achieved, but unions, and all relationships are active, and continuously in flux. The moment we stop actively pursuing unity, disunity naturally creeps in. United is often used politically as a tool to both imply unity has been achieved, and to silence dissent and discourage inquiry. United in the context of United Nations, United Kingdom and United States is both aspirational and misleading. As we explore what United means in political unions, we also discover what is true in any union, whether marriage, parenting or friendship, States, governments or organisations. Unity requires continuous review, negotiation and compromise. Relationships are alive and active, and although united is not a constant state, it can be touched through commitment and active participation, and can last if continuously pursued. Families can bee united and yet have no sense of unity. Countries can be united against a common cause, while still disagreeing on others, and states can question the validity or strength of a union whilst still staying in that union. United is not unanimous agreement, it is what it always meant, an agreement to join together, to bring different parts into one cohesive whole, and that can only be done in truth. The obvious disunity at the UN this year was arguably the most honest reflection of the state of the United Nations, and it is in honesty that true unity can begin to be found.

This week on The Tiny Pod I share an episode from Tiny Pod Patreon, About Shame.
This week on The Tiny Pod Patreon is all About Plagiarism, in honour of Dr Jason Arday. Plagiarism originally meant kidnapper, child stealer, it was used to describe someone who kidnapped children or slaves, or sold free people into slavery. The word evolved to mean literary theft when the Roman poet Martial described Fidentinus as a kidnapper of his words, his brainchildren. There is no original ground zero thought, we are all walking compilations of the experiences, art, literature, films, environment and people that surround us. The opposite of plagiarism is not originality, it is honesty. Plagiarism is copying the exact style and formation of another without attribution, it is in the concealment and dishonesty. We are all part of a collective and when we share freely we build on what has come before to create something new, we see further "standing on the shoulders of giants," as Isaac Newton wrote.
