Show Notes
In this episode we delve deeper into how we relate to nature, in particular, how Joe leads his reflective 'Wild Awake' walks. We talk about paying attention, intentionally entering a place and, most of all, how wonder is another name for worship. Also, Joe talks about how he had some business to do with the big cedar, and how you don't see a lot of anxious fungus.

It's our tenth anniversary! Who'd have thought it? We're so grateful for the support of this great community. Anyway, in what can only be described as 'more of the same', we reflect on the origins of the podcast and what, if anything, we have learnt along the way.
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.
