This “first” episode and one filling the spot of a “trailer” to give you an idea of what the show is about is actually the last of over 100 episodes previously recorded.

Take 15 minutes, press play, and if so moved enjoy the treasure chest until we restart the search for these amazing gems.

Love in action is listening to understand, not to react.

We were invited by the Hosts of the Nomad Podcast to participate in Pod March which is based on a vision of numerous podcasts releasing a single episode that they’ve created in regards to reacting and addressing the global and local impact of Climate Change.

One of the most amazing and beautiful things about being involved in the podcast world is connecting with other people on such deep and personal levels. Sometimes you become very fortunate and get a chance to know them personally with the ultimate reward of referring to them as friend.

No other podcast over the past couple of years has had a greater impact on me personally than the Nomad Podcast. Tim, David, Jemimah, Nick and Dave have a special place in my heart and mind. Tim and David have also become friends and we even had David on this show previously.

When invited we quickly said yes.

In regard to the content I haven’t listened and no doubt would not agree with 100% of everything that is said but the very essence of this show and what has been the first step in transformation is to, stop, and listen. So we invite you, regardless of your position, to hear this chorus of voices (actual show notes below) within the motto of our show:

Love in action is listening to understand, not to react.

Everybody Now

Climate Emergency and Sacred Duty

We’ve caused a turning point in the Earth’s natural history. Everybody Now is a podcast about what it means to be human on the threshold of a global climate emergency, in a time of systemic injustice and runaway pandemics. Scientists, activists, farmers, poets, and theologians talk bravely and frankly about how our biosphere is changing, about grief and hope in an age of social collapse and mass extinction, and about taking action against all the odds.

On 19th October 2020, Everybody Now is being released by podcasters all over the world as a collective call for awareness, grief and loving action.

Inspired by an upbringing of highly conservative theology coupled with a transformation into anything but Seth Price was inspired to start the Can I Say This At Church Podcast. As the 100th conversation we could think of anyone better to talk about our parallel but different journeys.

You can find Seth’s podcast HERE.

We also want to recognise and thank Seth for his time given he had recently lost his Dad prior to recording. He still wanted to talk and are humbled by his grace and strength. God speed to him and his family.

This episode was recorded and published during the COVID-19 Pandemic and published during it.
