ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Since 2008, Nomad has been an independent, listener-supported podcast exploring Christianity and what happens when the faith we inherited begins to change.
Through honest conversations with theologians, mystics, contemplatives and activists, we wrestle with difficult questions, revisit the Christian tradition and discover wisdom from beyond it.
With a distinctly British perspective, Nomad is a space for curiosity, uncertainty and reimagining faith, wherever the journey might lead.
