Summary

I know, we only just interviewed Walter Brueggemann! But he's just brought a book out entitled Money and Possessions and we've still got unresolved questions after our chat with Justin Welby on that subject. So why not spend another hour in the digital presence of one of the great biblical scholars of our time?! And as you'd expect, it was an hour chock-full of wisdom and insight.

“Money regularly morphs into an idolatry and that idolatry will lead to the commoditization of human relationships...” - Walter Brueggemann

0:00.0	Nomad, Christian community, mission and the future of the church.
0:38.4	Welcome back to NoMod podcast. My name's Tim Nash. I'm David Bloher. We're two pilgrims wandering the post-Christendombs, looking for signs of hope. If you're feeling a bit lonely and isolated in your pilgrimage, then why not pop over to the website, click on listener groups. You can register there and find out if there's any other Nomad listeners in your
0:42.5	area that you can connect with. If you would like to become one of the generous donors who
0:47.7	keep Nomad afloat, then go to patreon.com forward slash nomad podcast and there you'll be able to get access to various bonus materials.
0:58.4	And I think one of the most interesting things that Nomad has done in a long time

1:04.3	Prayers, reflections, Bible readings, songs, liturgies, stuff like that.
1:10.3	Drop us an email if you want to say hi and you can follow us at Nomad Podcast on Twitter and Facebook.
1:18.3	Is that enough blurb, do you think?
1:20.3	Sufficient blurbage?
1:21.6	Yeah, that's plenty of blurb.
1:22.6	I think that's a lot of blurb for the beloved listener to enjoy.

1:39.3	Welcome back to nomads, David.
1:41.3	Wardo slipped in. I managed to drag him out from under a horse with his hammer and nails
1:45.8	and getting back in the nomadic seat. And we enjoyed an interview with Shane Claiborne and Walter Brueggeman while you're away. I'm assuming you listened to those and enjoyed them both thoroughly. Yeah, very much.
