Fundraiser Special – The Guests Get Curious (N360)

Fundraiser Special – The Guests Get Curious (N360)

This episode began life as our 2025 Patreon fundraiser — but we’re releasing it here, freely, on the main feed, with a new intro and two additional questions!

For this special episode, we invited last year’s guests to turn the tables and ask us whatever they liked. What came back was a rich, surprising mix of the playful, the personal, and the deeply searching. Questions came in from Rowan Williams, Brian McLaren, Selina Stone, Chine McDonald, Lamorna Ash, Gareth Higgins, Jennifer Bird and many others.

Along the way, we talk about:
• the gap between what we believe and how we actually live
• remembering joy in a world wired for disappointment
• scripture, inspiration, and what still feels life-giving
• whether love really does conquer everything
• faith, imagination, childhood toys, books we’d reread forever, and the strange magic of 1980s technology
• and which portrayals of God in the Bible we find hardest to love or respect

We also talk openly about why we ran a fundraiser in the first place, what we learned from it, and why we ultimately decided to make this episode freely available to everyone.
