Two Episcopal clergy working in the Scottish Borders talk with wit, humour and depth about the challenge of twenty-first century living, and the faith that helps them navigate it. If you have questions about Spirituality, God and life, but don’t often find yourself in church, this podcast is for you. Coming from very different church traditions, Lesley and Pip often meet non-churchgoing folk with deep questions, and this podcast aims to talk about them, and explore how we can live good and authentic lives within the complexities of the modern world. Expect wit, warmth, honesty, and genuinely awful puns. Have a question? Email us on talkingthefaith@gmail.com
