Listen Later

In an era where spiritual success is often measured by "mega" metrics - massive platforms and explosive growth - it is easy to overlook the profound depth found in smaller spaces. Today, Lance Peppler sits down with The Reverend Jody Stowell, a Vicar in the Church of England, broadcaster, and advocate for social justice.


They discuss Jody’s new book, Bruised Reeds and Mustard Seeds: The Gift of the Small Church, exploring how the local congregation remains a resilient and essential source of spiritual richness despite the anxieties of declining numbers.


  • Finding the Sacred in the Small: Moving past the obsession with "mega" churches to rediscover the holiness in overlooked places.

  • Jody’s Journey: Insights into Jody’s background and her personal path to faith.

  • The Role of Prayer: A deep dive into Jody’s definition of prayer and how she experiences it as two-way communication with the Holy Spirit.

  • Answered Prayer: Jody shares a personal story of how prayer has been answered in her own life.

  • Book: Bruised Reeds and Mustard Seeds: The Gift of the Small Church by Jody Stowell
