Podcast

Psalms for the Spirit is my podcast on spirituality and resilience through the lens of the Biblical Psalms.

The question I’m exploring is: how do the Psalms, and music, and other spiritual resources, help us through difficult times - through times of personal or collective trauma?

How do the Psalms lift our spirits?

I’ve invited friends and respected teachers to speak with me on the connections between spirituality and resilience.

My guests are from a variety of backgrounds - theologians, social workers, clergy, hymn writers, musicians, academics, mental health advocates, and anyone interested in the intersection between spirituality and the lived experience.

Through personal story, field research, and theological reflection, we delve into the Psalms and how they intersect with people’s lives and areas of expertise.

For me, this is pure joy. When I record my conversations, I’m in a beautiful spot overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Rathlin Island, just up the road from the Corrymeela Centre in Ballycastle - and I get to connect from here with people near and far to talk about things we’re passionate about.
