Mid-faith Crisis

We continue our thoughts about encountering God through nature with thinking about how we also do that in urban landscapes. Where do we find the beauty there? How do we hear from God on the high street? What moments of delight can inspire worship? Also, Joe has been celebrating like a Mexican, and Nick has been going too fast.

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.
