Happy birthday Nomad!


It’s hard to believe that Nomad was born three years ago.

I daren’t listen back to that first episode; I suspect it sounds painfully amateurish! I can though remember the fear as I picked up the phone for my first ever interview. Tom Wright was great at putting me at my ease, but still the heart was pounding. And recording our first reflection was agony. When Nick pressed record we all just fell silent, we didn’t have a clue what to say. We tried again, and this time we just rambled on about how disillusioned we were with church. I seem to recall the third recording was better, but still pretty wooden!

As I look back over the three years of Nomadic wanderings, the main thing that stands out is how our personal faith journey has been shaped by the podcast. We’ve never just interviewed people for the sake of a good interview. We’ve chosen people who we hoped would be able to speak into the issues we’re currently wrestling with. Our hope is that you might be wrestling with similar issues and so find the interviews as helpful as we do.

We hope Nomad podcast as been as much a blessing to you as it has been to us.

Thanks for sticking with us we really do appreciate it. It’s great to know we’re not on this journey alone.

Ps. Thanks to three of our local listeners, Rachel, Heidi and Paul, for joining us last night for a little birthday celebration!

  3. The Podcast is GREAT!
    Even the first one with Bishop Tom was brilliant. What you guys are doing--thinking about your faith and how to live it out is fantastic and forces me to wrestle with my faith,my church and my Lord.

    Blessings to all!
