August 26, 2025 65: Little moments that have somehow been strung together, made up of fragmented conversation, that begin to make sense over a lifetime
Send us a text
Episode 65 In this conversation about conversation, Clare lifts up the grace to be found in our everyday encounters with each other. Conversation is 'that place where we forge together our understanding ... where God makes God's self known.' While truth and joy stand out for Clare in scripture, she says that 'if you really want to know what it is to get to know God. It's about those three things, faith, hope, and love.'

Send us a text
Episode 64 Nana shares how experiencing the aftermath of armed conflict, and meeting some of the people affected, led her to working at CAFOD. She once vowed, 'There's no way I'm going back into a church.' But here she reflects on how she has moved from anger to recognising that 'we are all peacemakers'. Nowadays people 'absolutely rooted in their faith, connected to each other and to the earth,' are shaping Nana's own relationship with God.

In Medjugorje, in response to prayer, he met a ‘ministry buddy.’ Then, he says, 'Our Lady put very strongly on our hearts’ the beginnings of a ministry to the gay community.

August 05, 2025 62: After utter devastation, a symbol of peace, hope and reconciliation
Send us a text
Episode 62: Jim, who is an American professor and a Catholic, tells the extraordinary story of uncovering his grandfather's connection to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This research took Jim to Nagasaki, 'the centre of Catholicism in Japan for centuries.' An awkward question from a Japanese Catholic there - a descendant of the 'hidden Christians' and whose father was a victim of the bomb - led to a beautiful project to restore 'the sound of the two bells ringing together' from the cathedral in Nagasaki, for the first time in 80 years. Jim says, 'It's really inspired a lot of people in terms of hope and peace and reconciliation.'
