Mid-faith Crisis

As we enter Lent, how can we make space in our lives to hear from God? In this episode we talk about the role of the wilderness in our lives and how it can actually be a place of encounter and change, a place where you hear the voice.

In this episode we think about the metaphors we use for our relationship with Jesus. Are we friends of Jesus? Or followers? Or slaves? Does the relationship feel different at different times in our faith? And will Joe and Nick's relationship survive the revelations about tea?

We return to the subject of grace, forgiveness and justice. Are all sins really the same? If so, what do we make of 'serious sin'? Is the evangelical view of sin secretly Catholic? And has Nick accidentally created a new category of sin?

We talk about self-understanding (and our apparent lack of it), and reflect on whether you can have seasons of spirituality. And, in the light of revelations about another major Christian teacher, we discuss how you can never fall from grace, you can only fall into it.
