After an unplanned break duiring the depths of portfolio season, Jenny and Dan are back and catch up about their pre-priesting interviews and share their hopes and dreams for the next stage of their curacy: Priesthood.

Jenny and Dan talk about how they might reach the younger generations in their role as curates, and share their experiences of working with local schools and youth groups.

Jenny and Dan discuss the joys of pre-priesting paperwork and along the way, reflect on the differences of being a deacon and a priest.

In this special episode, Jenny and Dan interview their remarkable fellow curate, Liz, and her husband, James, Bishop of Plymouth.

+James tells us about how he first sensed a calling to ministry, and how he discerned his calling to the office of bishop, and Liz explains her fairly unique calling to self-supporting ministry with a healthy dash of academia!
