This thing we call life

This post contains a recording of a talk I was invited to give at St Stephen’s Church, Saltash in Cornwall on 9 June 2025.
I was asked to talk about myself, my experience of life and faith and as a lay minister and author. The recording is divided in to chapters. Each one contains a 10-15 minute talk followed by discussion with those present.
Timings for the chapters can be found on my blog.

Crossed wires

Our experience of life and other people (and the church, it has to be said) can have a significant impact on how we feel about God and what we think God feels about us.
