In this special devotional episode, anabaptist, anarchist and animist Noel Moules explores the profound mystery of incarnation from his unique perspective as a Christian animist. He considers the interconnectedness of all things—seeing the sacredness in both creation and spirit, and how personhood extends beyond humanity to the entire cosmos. Noel reflects on how Jesus’ life exemplifies this mystery, offering a vision of restoration and hope. Noel invites us to reconsider the divine presence in every aspect of reality and challenges us to deepen our relationship with the world around us.
Following Noel’s reflection, Anna Robinson creates a contemplative space for us to reflect on and experience this incarnational understanding of spirituality.
All this is beautifully woven together with the music of Jon Bilbrough, known musically as Wilderthorn.

QUOTES
“Jesus was not born to die, he was born to live, to live in such a way that every expression of personhood in the cosmos might also live and thrive.”
“I’m an animist because I’m a Christian. Jesus was clearly an animist. His spirituality and worldview were entirely animist. As are the Scriptures, which are ancient source of indigenous animist wisdom.”
“Matter is the expression and incarnation of spirit and therefore divine. This is why matter is both sacred and person.”
