In this episode we speak with Shane Meyer-Holt—writer, speaker, and co-host of In the Shift podcast—about the impact of capitalism on our understanding of ourselves, our relationships and our need for care.

Drawing from his own experiences of parenting, community and faith shifting, Shane reflects on the way neoliberal values have colonised our lives. He invites us to critique capitalist assumptions with a view to building relationships and communities capable of holding the tension between the deep human desires for freedom and belonging.
Following the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Joy Brooks reflect on their own experiences of and responses to the impact capitalism has on care in the Church and wider society.
