Following the interview, Nomad hosts Nick Thorley and Joy Brooks consider how they have related to emotional and physical challenges alongside their own evolving faith.

QUOTES
“Unravelling is a continual thing; there’s not necessarily an end to it.”
“Practice is not a head-game. It’s an action. Embodied. Showing up.”
“The practice of ‘parodoxing’ is learning how to live into dissonant things at the same time. And to own it, and not try to squeeze either of them out.”
“The good part about community is that it gives a chance that when somebody is hopeless, that someone in the room has a little.”
