A podcast for the spiritually curious, the deconstructing, and the hopeful.
Nomad began in 2009 as a space for honest conversations about faith, doubt, and the complexities of spiritual life. Over the years, it has grown into a community of listeners who are navigating their own spiritual journeys, often outside the boundaries of traditional religious structures.
We engage with theologians, activists, mystics and contemplatives from across the Christian spectrum and beyond, exploring topics that range from theology and spirituality to social justice and personal transformation. Our aim is not to provide answers but to create a space where questions are welcomed, and diverse perspectives are heard.
What We Offer:
Thought-Provoking Conversations
In-depth interviews with a wide range of voices that challenge assumptions, open up fresh perspectives, and meet faith where it’s actually lived.
Community Connection
A warm and thoughtful online Listener Lounge and a global Listener Map to help Nomad listeners connect locally.
Nomad’s Therapy Network
A growing list of therapists who understand the emotional and spiritual complexities of deconstruction, religious trauma, and shifting faith.
Deeper Reflections
Bonus content like Nomad Contemplations and Therapeutic Reflections—gentle spaces for deeper introspection and grounded spiritual practice.

Tim Nash
Tim is the co-founder, producer and co-host of Nomad Podcast.
After years spent studying theology and working in churches and Christian charities, Tim now pours his energy into cultivating the Nomad community. He also co-hosts Homegrown Faith, a monthly podcast exploring spirituality through shared practices with his 10-year-old son, Elliot.
Tim lives in Nottingham with his wife Hannah and Elliot. When he’s not behind the mic, you’ll likely find him cycling through the countryside, losing gracefully at snooker, reading something thoughtful, or watching a bleak TV drama with a cup of tea in hand.
Nick Thorley
Nick is co-founder and co-host of Nomad Podcast. He lives just down the road from Tim in Nottingham.
For several years, Nick was a youth worker for the Methodist Church. He now works for an international development agency. In his spare time, Nick hangs out with his kids, runs very long distances, drinks coffee, watches TV, listens to sport on the radio, cooks vegan food and meets up with friends.
Joy Brooks
Joy lives in Leicester with husband Tony, some of her teenage and adult children and a couple of cats.
Joy works as a therapist in both the public and private sector and is fascinated by the interface between psychology and faith. She treasures the opportunities she has to connect with others and share in the sacredness of a therapeutic space.
When not musing upon the experience of being human, Joy is likely to be avoiding household chores by reading, attempting to be a gardener or enjoying a good film.
Anna Robinson
Anna lives in west Cornwall with her husband Jim and their two daughters.
Anna is a contemplative spiritual writer, who writes and records audio meditations and the monthly Nomad Contemplations. She hosts retreats and loves to curate spaces for people to slow down, connect with themselves, the world around them and beyond.
Anna enjoys reading, foraging, bushcraft, cold water swimming, playing the piano, taking photos and watercolour painting.
