0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Welcome to Nomad Podcast. I'm Anna Robinson, and this is, that's when you say your name, Joy.
0:43.6	Oh, Joy Brooks. Hi. Hi, Joy. Today's conversation is actually going to be Joy and I chatting about the topic of faith deconstruction and faith shifts.
0:57.6	Joy, do you want to explain a little bit about why we are discussing this topic?
1:02.3	I think Tim spoke to us about doing this because we have been running a group for people
1:08.5	who's faithly shifting around a group for people to get
1:12.2	together and perhaps find a bit of commonality and process some of what they're going through
1:18.1	together. And I guess it made sense that as we were doing that group that maybe it's something

2:09.2	well done me. But yeah, doing okay. How about you, Anna? Yeah, I'm okay. I've got a little bit of a
2:15.1	sore throat, not feeling 100% to be honest,
2:18.8	but I've just done myself a COVID test and I am in the clear there, so that's good.
2:23.4	But yeah, if I lose my train of thought, that'll be why I just feel a little. It's this time
2:28.1	of the day. It's, what time is it now? It's 4.30 or just gone. And I always have a bit of a lull at this point
