    S7E5 Power, Disability and Neurodiversity ft Dr Naomi Lawson Jacobs

    In this rich conversation, I am joined by Dr Naomi Lawson Jacobs, a researcher-activist whose work focusses on disability and neurodiversity. We explore the shift from seeing disabled/neurodivergent people as 'broken', to recognising the brokenness of our society and churches; the kinds of insight we can all gain about our bodies, from disability theology; and the points of connection between the experiences of ableism, and other forms of exclusion. Thanks for sticking with me for this series!

    S7E4 How psychologically healthy is your church? Ft Canon Dr Carlton Turner

    In this episode we welcome back friend of the podcast Carlton Turner to discuss the themes of his recent research on psychology, race and trauma in the church. We reflect a little on our work on race and wellbeing in the church of England, and then think about abuses of power, racism and the health of institutions. Thanks for joining me again and I hope you find it interesting! Trigger warning: we do not discuss individual cases of racial trauma but themes of racal trauma, racism and health disparities are discussed at various points.

    S6E11 Resurrection People

    Welcome to the final episode of the season! Today I share some thoughts on ecclesiology - what is the Church and how did it all begin? I explore the idea of being chosen people, how the Church has always been a place of welcome for people across lines of difference, and what hope we might have in a time of global unrest. Happy Easter, He is risen in deed!

    S6 E10 Why (why?), why (why?) Tell 'em that it's human nature

    Today's episode is all about what it means to be human. I introduce the theme of 'theological anthropology' especially the idea that we are made in God's image. What might this huge concept actually mean? I talk about some of the dangers of thinking of human beings as special, and especially certain kinds of human beings as more like God than others. Thanks for listening as always!

    S6E9 "Lord Prepare me, to be a Sanctuary": The Spirit and Sanctification

    In today's episode I share some thoughts on pneumatology - beliefs about the Holy Spirit with a special focus on sanctification. What does it mean to be holy? And is it just about what we avoid doing with our own individual bodies? I touch on the themes of purity, become better people and what it means to truly say we are people of the Spirit. Thanks for tuning in!
