S6 E12 Saša Jacobea - Gathering the Spiritually Curious in Prague
In this episode, Rob Schellert is joined by Saša Jacobea for a conversation about gathering the spiritually curious together. Saša shares her journey as a church pioneer and the story behind Nekostei — a monthly experimental church whose name translates roughly as "non-church" or "no church." We talk about how Nekostei creates a space for people who might not feel at home in traditional church structures, the joys and challenges of starting something new, and the beauty of walking alongside seekers exploring faith in fresh and authentic ways.

S6 E11 Jitendra Nayak - Living Among the Dalit Community in India
On this episode of Rumors of Doing Good, Rob sits down with Jitendra Nayak from Odisha, India, who has chosen to live life alongside the Dalit community. Rather than observing from a distance, Jitendra enters into their daily realities—sharing in their struggles, celebrating their resilience, and witnessing the quiet ways hope and goodness take root.
In their conversation, they explore what it means to journey with people whose stories are too often overlooked, and how deep presence, long-term relationships, and solidarity can cultivate a kind of goodness that grows slowly but meaningfully. Jitendra's experience challenges us to rethink what it means to do good in our own communities, and invites us to notice the whispers of hope happening all around us.

In this episode, Rob Schellert is joined by Micah Purnell, a visual artist and designer from Manchester, England, whose public word art invites people to slow down and see the world differently.
Through simple yet powerful phrases placed in everyday spaces, Micah explores how language can challenge consumerism, spark empathy, and help us rediscover our shared humanity.
Together, they talk about how Micah got started, the role of faith in his creative process, and the story behind The Word Art Project — a growing movement of public installations using words to provoke reflection, connection, and hope.
