In this episode we welcome Rob Bell back to the podcast. Rob’s written a new book - Everything is Spiritual - within which he explores how ideas about creation, love and connection have profoundly shaped his faith journey.
We chat with Rob about what it means to embrace who we are and where we’ve come from, our wounds, our pain and our regrets, and how this can deepen and expand our sense of self and connection to the world and the divine.
As you’d expect from Rob, it’s a conversation full of humour, insight and inspiration.
After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley talk about their deconstruction journey, and the role figures like Rob Bell have played in their evolving faith.Â
Interview starts at 15m 4s

0:43.0 | Hello. |
0:43.8 | How are you today, Nick? |
0:44.8 | I'm tired and a bit moody. |
0:47.6 | Look, I thought we just spent five minutes for a press record offloading to each other so that we could be all buoyant. |
0:53.5 | Oh, right. |
0:59.0 | Yeah, now I'm great, Tim. Really good, thanks. But there's the spirit is in that experience, isn't it? It is. I was just trying to be real, Tim. The children pushed me over the edge. |
1:03.9 | I thought he could be real before we pressed record. Oh, I see. So that we could then fake it when we start recording. What is sheen, a veneer? |
1:14.9 | This episode wasn't originally part of this month's schedule. |
1:16.7 | It happened for two reasons. |
1:21.9 | One, because a hole opened up in the sort of ever-shifting jigsaw puzzle that is nomad's schedule. And then at the same time, another interview opportunity presented itself. |
1:26.7 | And I thought, ooh, this could be a nice |
1:28.7 | little gift for my mate Nicholas. Yeah. Was it a nice little gift? Yeah, it was very much. So it was a |
1:35.3 | tremendous gift and blessing. It's been a while since you've hung out of Rob Bell, isn't it? I think |
1:40.1 | it was way back in 2009. Yeah. How was that experience? |
1:45.6 | What, in 2009? |
1:46.8 | Yeah. |
1:47.3 | It was a really nice experience. |
1:49.2 | We met him at Greenbelt, and when we met him, he hugged us. |
