More from Mid-faith Crisis
Joe talks with our friend Lacy Finn Borgo about the importance of acknowledging our bodies, of listening to them, and of recognising their fundamental importance to spirituality and how we encounter the Divine. As the blessing at the end says, we have holy hands, holy face, holy feet, and holy everything in between.
The big announcement this week is the Mid-faith Crisis Church Weekend 2027. All the details in the link below. Meanwhile, in a possibly ill-advised move, we explore a Psalm together. We talk about sacramental moments, what fulness of life really means, find out the names of Joe's enemies, and discover why Nick hates Bible study. So dig out your spiritual ears and have a listen.
We're back! Nick is back from Canada and Joe has forgotten to read the Bible. In our continuing tour of the house of faith, we revisit the attic but also consider the bar and even the playroom. Also, there are some very important announcements and an update from Denmark.
Joe talks to Mary and Charles Hippsley about their excellent book, Reimagining the Landscape of Faith. What is our map of faith - and what do we do when the map is no longer helpful? How can we find new pathways? Who will help us on our travels? Mary and Charles share their own experience of spiritual change and offer wise, encouraging and helpful insights into the crucial journey of spiritual transformation.
We're coming to the end of our season of spiritual decluttering, and taking a look at some of the things that we have hidden away in the attic. What practices have we stored away up there, hoping they might come in useful again some day? Also, we check in on our themes and Nick has been thinking about the topic of maintenance. Thrilling stuff, I'm sure you agree.
