As we begin series 6 we talk about our own private and public life of prayer. As the series continues we will look at some of the differences in these approaches and how we can learn from each other. As always, if you have a question please send it via [email protected]

This is a special bonus episode we recorded during the summer with co-Presbyterian and co-Priest Rev. Steve Stockman MBE and Fr. Martin J. Magill. We chat through what led them into friendship and the creation of the 4 corners festival. We hope there's more bonus episodes to come!

In this final episode of series 5 we look back and chat through our favourite bits, what we learnt and what else might have intrigued us. We've really enjoyed chatting to all of our guests, we hope you have too. If you have any favourite bits you'd like to share with us, send them through at [email protected]
