Summary

We chat with author Heather King about how the faith she inherited was profoundly reshaped both by recovery from addiction to alcohol and the discovery of the 19th Century French saint Thérèse of Lisieux.

After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash, Anna Robinson and Nick Thorley, reflect on their own experiences of brokenness and addiction and how it contributed to the deconstruction of the evangelical faith they inherited. They also ponder the role Thérèse’s Little Way might play in the ongoing evolution of their spirituality.

Interview starts at 21m 18s

0:07.0	The Welcome back to Nomad Podcast. My name's Tim and this is my friend and colleague Anna Robinson.
0:42.5	Hello. I think the last time you were on the main feed was in July. It was when you did the episode
0:48.3	of David discussing John Bell. Is that the last one? Oh yeah. Yeah, that was fun. So that was a couple of months ago.
0:54.5	I imagine you've been up to quite a bit since then. Maybe you could slip as some highlights.
0:57.8	What have you been up to? Well, I've had a really busy summer. Lots of camping. Most camping we've ever
1:03.3	done as a family actually, which was great when the summer shining, but not so great in the rain, classic British rain, quite a bit of tent envy.
1:11.9	I don't have ever had that.
1:12.9	Have you got a tent?
1:14.0	No, Anna, I have zero tent envy.
1:16.1	Like camping is just not on my radar at all.
1:20.1	Well, we've got a lovely little tent, medium-sized tent.
1:23.6	But of course, the kids have grown, and it's all good when the sun is shining because you're outside all the time.
1:27.7	But if it rains, it's a bit of a challenge fitting everybody in comfortably and not just rain going everywhere.
1:34.2	So, yeah, often we're camping with other people who've got bigger and more impressive tents.
1:39.1	So I have my tent envy.
1:40.4	I think I will some point upgrade.
1:43.2	Yeah, the last time me and Hannah went camping, I think
1:45.7	we'd only just got married. So, I mean, it was like 14 years ago. And we went camping in Cornwall
1:51.9	and we drove to Cornwall in the poor and rain. We set the tent up in the pouring rain. We sort of
1:57.5	laid in the tent for a day in the poor and rain while everything was getting soaked. Then we packed the tent down in the poor and rain, we sort of laid in the tent for a day in the pouring rain while everything was getting
2:01.2	soaked. Then we packed the tent down in the pouring rain, drove back. We just gave up after a day.
