Meandering waffle

Yep

I came without anything to talk about.

I'm talking about some of the recent thoughts I have had about Christianity and comedy. I try and fail to prove that I have the comedy chops to legitimately be talking about comedy. There is a lot of thinking out loud as this was fresh in my head and was processing in the moment, plus I was in a weird mood which gave the episode an unusual energy. Anyway, enjoy!

We are living in anxiety ridden times and with a new year upon us we hope for a time of change, although this brings it's own pressures and with the world as it is maybe this isn't a helpful thing to be doing. So it is a new year and to kick it off I am embracing my anxiety, I am talking about how we experience anxiety, the small insignificant things that set us on edge, I talk through the time I was able to map out an anxiety inducing incident and talk about living with anxiety and learning to overcome it. The writing worship didn't work out. Sorry but will do another time!

A review of 2020, just because I think I should

A mainly musical episode, a wanted to create a space for meditation, stillness, prayer or just for escape.

A waffle about Christian music, about some of the good things and some of the rubbish things.

The last of the introductory burbles, setting up who I am. I talk about the faith of my childhood, the changes that occurred in my teens and the questioning of my faith as a student and where I am at now.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS/ DECEMBER! At this festive time I wanted to share my ambient Christmas album, as promised in the last episode. I recorded it last year and was something I wanted to do for a while. It was done using a dying laptop and old software and it's not perfect but it is minimal and slow and soundscapy so I like it and hope that you will too and will help you relax and stop over the Christmas break.
