Ritual – Burgers, High-Fives & the Church of Beansey
<p>What if an archaeologist dug up the Nash family home five hundred years from now? What would they conclude we worshipped? This month, we set out to explore ritual, hoping to find a few spiritual practices worth keeping. Instead, we discovered we already had plenty: Friday night burgers and chips in front of the TV, reading together, cycling at Sherwood Pines, Secret Sandra, high-fives and a bewildering collection of family nicknames. Along the way, we imagine what the Church of Beansey might look like and ask what makes a family feel like itself.</p><p>We also unveil our new family ritual rota, choosing a handful of practices from the last eighteen months to carry forward into daily, weekly, monthly and yearly life. Plus, Elliot takes on a new quiz, Religion or Random?, attempting to distinguish genuine religious practices from things Dad has completely invented. Expect sacred ketchup, rock music, barefoot pilgrims and the surprising discovery that some monks really did spend years living on top of pillars. As ever, it's a mixture of laughter, reflection and ordinary family life.</p><p>If you’re enjoying Homegrown Faith and want to support what we’re doing, you can head over to our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/HomegrownFaith">Patreon page</a> for bonus episodes and a bit of behind-the-scenes goodness.</p><p>If signing up isn’t your thing but you’d still like to send some encouragement our way, a quick rating or review on your podcast app makes a big difference.</p><p>Since the podcast is all audio, if you’d like to see what we’ve been up to, you can find photos and little glimpses of our journey over on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/HomegrownFaith">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570585414716">Facebook</a>.</p><p>And if you’d like to share your own experiences, ask us a question, or suggest a practice for a future episode, you can drop Tim an email <a href="https://homegrownfaith.co.uk/contact">here</a>.</p><p>Like the podcast, our theme music is also homegrown—written by Elliot and produced by our friend <a href="https://www.wilderthorn.com/">Wilderthorn</a>.</p>

Blessing - Old Crows, Hidden Pebbles & the God Who Might Be Paper
<p>This month on Homegrown Faith, Tim, Hannah and Elliot explore the power of words — not as supernatural declarations, but as small everyday things that can shape the atmosphere of a home, a friendship, or even a passing interaction. Along the way they experiment with speaking encouragement to strangers, hiding affirming pebbles around the neighbourhood, writing to David Attenborough, and discovering just how awkward it can feel to say something genuinely kind out loud.</p><p>There’s also a chaotic round of Bible or Bonkers?, featuring buttered feet, blessed kneading bowls, and strong opinions about beard-related blessings. And Tim and Elliot try to name the good they’ve experienced in God — leading to reflections on stillness, mystery, long-player music, and why Elliot thinks God might actually be paper.</p><p>If you’re enjoying Homegrown Faith and want to support what we’re doing, you can head over to our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/HomegrownFaith">Patreon page</a> for bonus episodes and a bit of behind-the-scenes goodness.</p><p>If signing up isn’t your thing but you’d still like to send some encouragement our way, a quick rating or review on your podcast app makes a big difference.</p><p>Since the podcast is all audio, if you’d like to see what we’ve been up to, you can find photos and little glimpses of our journey over on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/HomegrownFaith">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570585414716">Facebook</a>.</p><p>And if you’d like to share your own experiences, ask us a question, or suggest a practice for a future episode, you can drop Tim an email <a href="https://homegrownfaith.co.uk/contact">here</a>.</p><p>Like the podcast, our theme music is also homegrown—written by Elliot and produced by our friend <a href="https://www.wilderthorn.com/">Wilderthorn</a>.</p>

Awe & Wonder – Moonlight, Mountains & the Mystery of Everything
<p>This month we set out to practise awe and wonder — not just talking about it, but going looking for it. That took us from the vast space of Liverpool Cathedral to the deep time of the Natural History Museum, and on a road trip through Glencoe and the Isle of Skye. Along the way we found it in unexpected places — a blinding moonrise, dinosaur footprints, waterfalls, strange moss-covered trees, and even a slightly underwhelming sunrise. Some moments were planned, many weren’t, but together they opened up a sense of scale, beauty, and strangeness that’s hard to put into words.</p><p>But what, if anything, did it all mean? In this episode, Tim and Elliot reflect on a month where the mind often went quiet and experience took over. Did awe point them toward God — or distract from God altogether? Why did mountains feel more meaningful than cathedrals? And what do you do with moments that leave you full of wonder but short on answers? This is a conversation about being overwhelmed, feeling small, and learning — perhaps — to let mystery be enough.</p><p>If you’re enjoying Homegrown Faith and want to support what we’re doing, you can head over to our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/HomegrownFaith">Patreon page</a> for bonus episodes and a bit of behind-the-scenes goodness.</p><p>If signing up isn’t your thing but you’d still like to send some encouragement our way, a quick rating or review on your podcast app makes a big difference.</p><p>Since the podcast is all audio, if you’d like to see what we’ve been up to, you can find photos and little glimpses of our journey over on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/HomegrownFaith">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570585414716">Facebook</a>.</p><p>And if you’d like to share your own experiences, ask us a question, or suggest a practice for a future episode, you can drop Tim an email <a href="https://homegrownfaith.co.uk/contact">here</a>.</p><p>Like the podcast, our theme music is also homegrown—written by Elliot and produced by our friend <a href="https://www.wilderthorn.com/">Wilderthorn</a>.</p>
