Mid-faith Crisis 376: Decluttering prayer
In the first of our sort-of series on decluttering faith, we look at the prayer room. We discuss the mystery of intercession and think about prayer as ‘primary speech’, as an art more than a science. Prayer is crucial in our journey of understanding, both of God and of ourselves. So what needs clearing out? And what do we want to keep? (And keep those book suggestions coming!)
This scene. Genius.

Mid-faith Crisis 375: Two old men discuss their ailments
Joe has a sickness bug. Nick has a bad back. In this short and utterly inadequate episode, we talk a little bit about well-meaning but tone-deaf sermons and what really might bring us happiness in the life to come. Also we think a little about books for mid-faith crisis. What are your favourites?
Happy Beer Day everyone.

Mid-faith Crisis 374: A weekend of decluttering
We’re back with our reflections on the Mid-faith Crisis weekend. We discuss the theme of spiritual decluttering and the joy of generous conversation. Also Nick wonders if he’s actually had a mid-faith crisis and Joe is accidentally biblical.

I really wish there was an iOS version of MarsEdit. I’ve never found anything which approaches it. However I do have iA Writer which at least allows you to publish drafts to micro.blog.

Mid-faith Crisis 373: Expert opinions on heaven
We talk, in an incredibly expert way, about the afterlife, about nostalgia and longing, about a new heaven and a new earth and about the different dimensions of existence. Also, is Nick the worst Anglican ever, and should Joe be the new Knepp-based host for Springwatch?

Mid-faith Crisis 372: Talking to Ruth about death
We have a very special interview this week. Joe talks to our friend Ruth about how she is facing terminal cancer. She talks about focusing on what matters, about the normality of death, and about the importance of talking about grief, loss and mortality. There is hope. And there is, above all, ‘The ever present one who loves me more than I can imagine and who is with me every step of the way.’

Mid-faith Crisis 371: Venting more than lamenting
We talk about the power of vulnerability, about how noisy fear can be and about those times when we vent instead of lament. Thanks for all your feedback - it really meant a lot this week!
