Nick Thorley - Recovery, Running and Resurrection (N182)


Listen Later

The founding father of Nomad Podcast, Nick Thorley makes his triumphant return to the show, some 7 and a half years and 146 episodes after stepping down!

Nick's been on quite a journey. Having recovered from addiction through the healing power of therapy and ultra marathon running, Nick reflects on the trauma of losing his sight, the changing nature of his faith, the folly of trying to compartmentalise our lives, what the church can learn from the recovery movement, and so much more. It's a classic nomad mix of banter and deep insights.

Trigger warning: In this episode we'll be talking openly and honestly about sex addiction, gambling, and marriage breakdown, which some people might find hard to listen to. 

If you want more from Nomad, check out our website, and follow us on Facebook and twitter.

Nomad can only keep going because a small group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills. Our donors gain access to the Nomad community, which manifests in such ways as Nomad Book Club, The Beloved Listener Lounge, Nomad Contemplations and Nomad Devotionals. And you may find yourself the proud owner of a Beloved Listener mug! Head over to our Patreon page for more information.

If you're not fussed about the bonus content, you can make a one-off or regular donation through PayPal, the links to which you can find on our support page.

And if you're looking for other people to share this journey with, then register on our Listener Map, and see if any other nomads are in your area.
