    WELCOME TO SEASON 2!

     Have you made any New Year’s resolutions? How do you want to live life in 2022? What things do you find in everyday life that are thoroughly mundane? Jim and Steve ponder with all this and more as season 2 of INTENT kicks off for another series of conversations.

  • 21. You Could Click Your Heels

    Are there any words you find hard to spell? Or any you don’t understand? Jim and Steve try to get to grips with a few this week, and wonder about their life choices, as well as comparing the encouragements they offer others on the roadways around South London.

  • 20. One Of Those Days?

    What’s going on this week? Why’s everyone so flat? Is there something in the air? Or in the water? Is there anything we can do about it?

  • 19. Invisible To Others

    Steve’s been in the wars, and Jim is almost sympathetic, before talking all things health - what is seen and what is hidden (maybe for good reason) - plus there’s the odd dive down unhelpful rabbit holes.

    And if you’re interested in Michael Holding’s book “Why We Kneel How We Rise”, you can find it here:

  • 18. The Sheer Outpouring of Joy

    Well it’s been quite a week - Jim and Steve wrestle with global and local stresses, strains and questions about the future and spiritual exploration. As well as just a tiny bit reflecting on 22 men chasing a ball around a field...

  • 17. Have I Ever Been On A Steam Train?

    What does pressure mean for you? Jim and Steve discuss their own journeys with pressure and nerves, as well as the potential for healing through those around us. What kind of energy do we bring to others and how does it affect them?

    Steve mentions Phyllis Tickle’s book “The Divine Hours” which you can find here: https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Phyllis-Tickle/The-Divine-HoursTM-Pocket-Edition/11411564

  • 16. There, There, Don’t Worry

    Steve and Jim wonder about resilience and about the different tones of voice we respond to. Could there be times when we need strong, straight talking friends, or do we just want others to mop our brow?

    36 min
  • 15. You Can't Do Both

    Steve’s hacked his way through technical issues to join us, and Jim is his usual sympathetic self. And just how much does sleep affect us and the world around us?

  • 14. Look At The Future

    Both Jim and Steve are wondering how you find grounding points in a busy and chaotic world. Is it as simple as noticing what’s going on around us?

  • 13. On The Pavement Outside

    Jim’s moved house and is struggling to get his head around it, and Steve ponders the connection past places, experiences and relationships have on us as we bumble along through life. What does the world ahead and behind you look like?
