Nomad Extra is back with another liitle bonus interview for you.

Tim and Dave were in Leeds recently and so thought they'd catch up with Simon Hall of the Revive community. So tune in to hear the story of Simon's journey into new forms of mission and Christian community.  

This month Tim's leaving Dave at home and heading north with Hannah to Loyola Hall for a 5 day silent retreat.

Tim will be recording a daily reflection on his experiences and then at the end of the retreat will interview Ruth Holgate, the director of the centre, about the spirituality of silence.

We thought Christmas presented the perfect opportunity to launch the latest edition to our Nomad portfolio, Nomad Spirituality. Every once in a while we (or perhaps one of our guests) will lead a short meditation to help you connect with Jesus in the busyness of your day. Our first one helps us reflect on the significance of the incarnation. Enjoy.  

The background music is from Grace's latest album 'Landskapes', the track is 'Skape' by Electrik Cafe. Check it out at www.proost.co.uk

This month Dave and Tim are off to Bristol to chat with Chris Sunderland. Chris is involved in all manner of Jesus-inspired community stuff, but we're particularly interested in his Earth Abbey project. So stay tuned to learn more about how to live more in harmony with creation.

On this month's show Tim and Dave head to Leeds to speak with the Breathe Network's Mark Powley.

Mark is all about simple living and resisting the lure of our consumer culture (or as Breathe puts it 'less stuff, more life'). Prepare to be challenged! 

Welcome to Nomad Journey!

Nomad Journey is a new edition to the Nomad portfolio. On this occasional show we'll be tracking the pioneering progress of our hosts Tim and Dave. So tune in to find out how they are starting out on their pioneer mission journey.

Nomad is back with more missional and ecclesial reflection.

We welcome Tom Wright to the show this month to help us get our heads round the connection between academics and the local church and our relationship with creation. We also give Tom a few minutes to tell us about his new book 'Simply Jesus'. Enjoy.

After but a month off, Nomad is back! The old team has stood down, but new boy Dave Ward (along with Tim Nash) has bravely stepped into the fray!

This episode is an introduction to Dave and his journey from youth worker to farrier and from traditional church to new forms of mission and church.

After two and a half years and 44 shows, the Nomad team have decided to call it a day. So tune in for some final reflections on their journey.
