This is Not Your Mom’s Theology - a podcast that uses humor to talk about the complexities of faith journeys, finding out who god is for yourself, and the loneliness that can be associated with it. We are not experts, so this is a safe space to work it all out over a glass of wine (or water!). And let’s be honest, it’s a lonely road, so why not do it with a couple of friends? Produces and edited by Janice McMurray; artwork by Izzy Az; music by Vincent Augustus (Wait Up), edited by Trefan.
