Introducing Our New Podcast - Beginning To Flourish Pod

We have just released a six episode podcast series Beginning To Flouish Pod inspired by our Lent and Easter theme for 2025: Beginning to Flourish! James Cathcart and Albert Bogle explore topics such as breath, shelter, thirst, belonging, eternal love and life changing grace in a free range exploration of life and theology as we’re living it today! This pair are buzzing with questions…

What is actually happening when we open a Bible? Why, when it comes down to it, are we all actually Nicodemus? Why do we talk about having a ‘faith life’ as something different from our everyday life? (Does the phrase ‘faith life’ even make sense?) What happens when love is stripped bare on the cross? How can we begin to flourish wherever we’ve come from and whatever we’re heading into? What happens when we lose religion and find faith? Oh, and what’s so good about the Good Samaritan anyway?

Over the episodes James and Albert shoot from the hip and cover a lot of ground from contemporary cultural trends to ancient biblical history (they even cook up a harebrained harmonica scheme at one point…) passionate to explore what beginning to flourish looks like for those restless and looking in at church, and those restless IN church and looking out.

Let’s begin to flourish! And don’t forget your harmonica.

Find the podcast here on Sanctuary First, in our Sanctuary First App, and on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
