  1. Brian Zahnd – Christians in the Age of Trump [Revisited]

    Brian Zahnd – Christians in the Age of Trump [Revisited]

    Back in 2019, Tim Nash and David Blower sat down with Brian Zahnd to explore the toxic entanglement between Church and Empire, and the resulting religion Zahnd calls "Americanism." From rethinking how we read Scripture to the deeply political implications of the cross, Zahnd offers a vision of living as citizens of God’s kindom amidst worldly empires. With Donald Trump, whom Zahnd identified as emblematic of "Americanism," once again elected President, we felt this conversation deserved to be revisited. Following the interview, a 2024 Tim Nash and Nick Thorley share their thoughts and feelings about the re-election of Trump, and where they are seeing signs of hope.  Interview starts at 10m 15s Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, wonderfully ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful, wonderful listeners.

  3. Dave Tomlinson - The Bad Christian’s Guide to Prayer

    24 OCT.

    Dave Tomlinson - The Bad Christian’s Guide to Prayer

    Dave Tomlinson joins us to reflect on his faith journey and how his evolving understanding of God has profoundly reshaped his approach to prayer. He explores the idea that prayer is for everyone, regardless of belief, advocating for the "democratisation" of prayer and sacraments. For Dave, these spiritual practices aren't confined to religious rituals but can be found in everyday moments, accessible to all. He invites us to reconsider the role of prayer in our lives, as a universal expression of connection and reflection. After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on Dave’s understanding of prayer, and wonder if it has a place in their own evolving faith.  Interview starts at 14m 50s Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, wonderfully ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful, wonderful listeners.

  4. Joanna Leidenhag - The Consciousness of All Things

    Joanna Leidenhag - The Consciousness of All Things

    In this episode Joanna Leidenhag explores the fascinating nature of consciousness and its implications for how we understand ourselves and the world around us. She challenges traditional views that separate mind and body, and instead advocates for panpsychism, an understanding that she believes better fosters environmental awareness, deeper respect for diverse cultures and a view of existence that is interconnected and alive. After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Joy Brooks try to get their heads around the pros and cons of the various models of consciousness and ponder how panpsychism might shape their evolving faith.  Interview starts at 14m 19s Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, wonderfully ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful, wonderful listeners.

  6. Thomas Oord - Reimagining the Divine After Omnipotence

    10 SEPT.

    Thomas Oord - Reimagining the Divine After Omnipotence

    Theologian Thomas Oord joins us again to explore a vision of God as radically loving but not omnipotent. We look at the implications of challenging this traditional notion of divine control and how it has reshaped Tom’s understanding of creation, evolution, suffering, liberation, the nature of God's power and the potential for hope without guarantees. Throughout the conversation Tom reflects on how these ideas have shaped his life, including his recent experience of a heresy trial for his LGBTQI+ affirming stance. It’s a fascinating conversation about faith, suffering, and the enduring nature of love. Following the interview Nomad hosts Joy Brooks and Tim Nash reflect on the conversation and ponder how Tom’s understanding of a loving who can’t control might shape their evolving faith.  Interview starts at 12m 16s Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, wonderfully ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful, wonderful listeners.

    Elizabeth Oldfield - Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times

    On this episode Elizabeth Oldfield joins us to talk about what it means to tend to our souls during turbulent times.
