Summary
In this episode, we’re joined by theologian and minister, Sally Douglas. Sally helps us explore the idea of Jesus as Sophia, the embodiment of the female divine. Together, we unpack themes like righteous anger, justice, and the sacredness of all creation. Sally shares how reclaiming Sophia’s presence in the Gospels challenges patriarchal structures, inspires a deeper connection to the divine, and invites us to live with compassion and courage. From contemplative practices to radical hospitality, this conversation opens up new ways of thinking about faith, power, and community.Â
After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on how being Jesus as the embodiment of the divine feminine might shape their evolving faith.Â
Interview starts at 17m 57s

| 0:07.0 | The Welcome back to Nomad Podcast. I'm Tim Nash and this is a 2025 Nick Thorley. Hi there. It's not actually, is it? We're recording this at the end of 2024, but a 2024 Nick is trying to sound like a 2025, Nick. I'm trying to project forward. Slightly older, slightly wiser, maybe. |
| 0:56.9 | Perhaps slightly older, more insecure. |
| 1:01.8 | I heard someone once say you don't get older and wiser, you get older and a bit more insecure. |
| 1:03.3 | I didn't think that's true, though. |
| 1:05.6 | I like to fly against that in the name of Jesus. |
| 1:10.4 | I don't think you necessarily do. |
| 1:13.8 | Hopefully we get older and wiser. Yeah. It's going to be all good, |
| 1:18.9 | isn't it? Oh, I think so. When this goes out, it would just be a couple of weeks before No Man's 16th birthday. I think in America, a 16th birthday is a big sort of coming of age sort of event, |
| 1:25.7 | isn't it? Is it? Yeah, but in the UK, it's not really anything, is it? |
| 1:28.9 | I don't think. |

| 1:33.1 | But when our parents talked about things, |
| 1:35.1 | they don't know if yours were like mine, it was 21. |
| 1:37.5 | Yeah. |
| 1:37.8 | Key to the house. |
| 1:38.8 | Yeah. |
| 1:39.4 | Et cetera. I mean, 16, you can kind of get married, can't you? Yeah. |
| 1:46.6 | You can consent having sex. |
