The Examined Life - Live Workshop

In this special episode, we're giving you an insight into the live workshops that we offer. Special guest Rev. Rachel Hudson, a recently retired vicar, shares the benefits of counselling and psychotherapy and its place in spirituality.

The Archbishop and the Psychotherapist

This extra episode featuring a conversation with Rev. Matt Tarling responds to the recent revelation from the former Archbishop, Justin Welby, that he has been receiving support for his mental health from a psychotherapist. Dave and Rev. Matt respond to this revelation with encouragement that those in ministry can faithfully follow this example.

Gideon's Journey

In this episode, Dave & Rachel look at the story of Gideon through a different lens. What is Gideon feeling throughout the story? How does God meet Gideon's needs? How is the victory won?

Neurodiversity and the Church

In this episode, we welcome a special guest, Anne Hutchinson, to talk about the unique challenges experienced by families with neurodiversity or SEND needs. Anne is a headteacher in a specialist school for neurodiverse children and has incredible professional experience in this area. Churches welcome people of all walks of life, but those who experience neurodiversity can find engaging with the church extremely challenging. Anne has some really practical advice for churches and is a clear voice of hope amongst the challenges that so many experience.
