This month the podcast finds itself in Leeds and
the abode of Mark Powley, founding member of the Breathe Network.
The network’s strapline is ‘Less stuff, more life’,
(one of those strapline’s I wish I’d thought of!) The network’s aim is to
encourage us to live more simply. Not in a monastic kind of way (no offence to
our new monastic listeners), but in a positive, smart 21st century
living kind of way.
It’s a great interview (even if we do say so
ourselves!), and one which has deeply challenged me. Since the interview, for
example, me and Hannah have made a ‘digital detox’ a central part of our
Sabbath observance, and already we’re feeling the benefit. It’s amazing how
much more space for life the detox has produced, and how it has influenced the
rest of our week.
So tune into the podcast for loads of encouragement
and advice on resisting the relentless pull of consumerism and embracing a
simpler, more life-enhancing lifestyle.

Just found Nomad podcast and blog - through Twitter I think. Listened to Mark Rowley podcast - like you say, inspiring and not stupidly simplistic eg he appreciates that we live in a consumer culture, so short of adopting something like an Amish approach, you've got to engage in the ways of that culture, without totally buying into its value base. I'm looking forward to catching up with your 'back catalogue'.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found us. It's good to have you on board!
