On this episode Elizabeth Oldfield joins us to talk about what it means to tend to our souls during turbulent times. Elizabeth shares the practices that are helping her become a depolarising presence in a culture of outrage, tribalism, and division, and forming intentional community in an age of disconnection and isolation. She also reflects on what hope has come to mean to her, and how she resists despair.

Following the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on Elizabeth’s journey, and how her experiences of community and forming relationships across divides might shape their own evolving faith.

Interview starts at 13m 23s
