A Year of Practice – Coconuts, Cathedrals & the Unexpected Sacred

Episode 12

Thursday, October 23, 2025 • Duration 59:40

It’s hard to believe, but Homegrown Faith is one year old!

So this month, Tim and Elliot look back over twelve months of exploring spiritual practices together — from gratitude and Sabbath to activism, nature connection and pilgrimage.

There are stories of sawing coconuts, disassembling Hi-Fis, and holy moments found in bird song, sea air, and the world’s most transcendent ice cream. There’s laughter (mainly at Mum’s expense), a “Guess the Practice” quiz, and reflections on how faith and family life have quietly evolved through a year of shared experiment.

Along the way, they discover that spirituality doesn’t need to be confined to church walls — it can be found in car boot fields, forest glades, and messy kitchen tables. Because sometimes the sacred hides in the most unexpected places.

This special anniversary conversation is also being shared on Nomad Podcast’s main feed.

Pilgrimage – Cathedrals, Chilli Falafels & the Communion of the Saints

Episode 11

Monday, September 22, 2025 • Duration 01:01:06

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they set off on a two-part pilgrimage — one ancient, one modern — in search of something sacred.

From tidal crossings to priory ruins, caves of silence to cathedrals of grandeur, they trace the footsteps of saints like Aidan and Cuthbert across the Northumbrian landscape. Then, swapping caves for tents and saints for circus acts, they head to the Greenbelt Festival, where 10,000 fellow pilgrims gather for music, communion, and churros.

Along the way, Tim reflects on the tension between simplicity and spectacle, and Elliot names the real highlight: ice cream. Together they explore what it means to belong, to travel with intention, and to seek God not just in holy places — but in shared meals, messy moments, and each other.

With prayers, poems, soundscapes and silliness, they ask: what if pilgrimage isn’t about where you go, but how you pay attention on the way?

Sabbath - Pancakes, Parakeets & the Art of Doing [Almost] Nothing

Episode 2

Tuesday, December 17, 2024 • Duration 37:25

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they spend a month experimenting with the ancient—and surprisingly tricky—practice of Sabbath. From pancakes and parakeets to muddy walks and fake candles, they explore what it means to slow down, let go of productivity, and make space for rest, reflection, and reconnection.

Listen in as they share honest moments of peace, frustration, laughter, and revelation as they learn that doing 'almost nothing' might be one of the most meaningful things of all.

Gratitude - Pebble Painting, Sage Sniffing & the Practice of Paying Attention (HF01)

Episode 1

Monday, November 18, 2024 • Duration 41:25

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they begin their Homegrown Faith journey with a month exploring gratitude. From painting pebbles and sniffing sage to watching ants and stumbling through an awkward dinner prayer, they discover that gratitude isn’t always easy—but it might be as simple as learning to notice what’s already here.

Listen in as they reflect on bugs, sunsets, tie-dye feathers, and the quiet challenge of saying thank you—even when you don’t really feel like it.

Roots - Bells, Bright Lights & the Flow of Family Faith

Episode 10

Wednesday, August 20, 2025 • Duration 01:03:49

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they trace the winding flow of faith through four generations of their family.

From stories of provision, protection, grief, and mystical light, they explore what gets passed on, what gets left behind, and what slowly begins to grow in new soil.

Along the way, Elliot interviews Tim about his parents’ and in-laws’ spiritual journeys. Together, they reflect on resonances and ruptures, and wonder what it means to inherit a faith you’re still figuring out.

With curiosity and honesty, Tim and Elliot ask: what do we do with the stories we've been given—and what kind of story do we want to live now?

Nature - Birdsong, Seals & the Gospel of the Great Outdoors

Episode 9

Monday, July 21, 2025 • Duration 52:08

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they spend a month reconnecting with the natural world—through forest bathing, garden sound meditations, seal watching, foraging, and a street graffiti tour that celebrates so-called weeds.

Along the way, they reflect on what nature might reveal about God, why church became an indoor religion, and whether listening to birdsong could be a form of prayer.

With curiosity, playfulness and a squirrel-proof bird feeder, Tim and Elliot explore how sacred the natural world can feel—when you slow down, pay attention, and let yourself be led by a tree.

Activism - Pebbles, Protests & Letters to Power

Episode 8

Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 45:47

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they dive into a month of activism—raising money, writing letters, marching for libraries and endangered birds, and quietly standing in solidarity at a Gaza vigil.

Along the way, they explore what activism actually means, how faith might connect with social action, and whether small acts of kindness and courage can make a difference.

With honesty, curiosity, and a few painted pebbles along the way, Tim and Elliot reflect on what it’s like to step into activism together—when one of you is still learning what activism even is, and the other grew up in a faith that never really talked about it.

The Bible - Donkeys, Daggers & Sacred Texts

Episode 7

Monday, May 19, 2025 • Duration 45:29

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they reflect on four very different children’s Bibles. From garden fruit and floods to talking donkeys and fat kings, they wander through ancient stories that are sometimes inspiring, sometimes confusing, and sometimes just plain weird.

Along the way, they wrestle with big questions: Is this real? What does it mean for a story to be true? And what makes the Bible different from other books?

With curiosity, honesty, and a few jokes along the way, Tim and Elliot explore what it means to read the Bible together—when one of you has years of Bible baggage, and the other’s never even heard of Samson.

Episode 6

Monday, April 21, 2025 • Duration 51:36

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they spend a month exploring creativity as a spiritual practice. From meditating with clay to dismantling a vintage Hi-Fi, from stick art beneath a tree to listening to music designed to last a thousand years, they experiment with how art and imagination can open up new ways of connecting with themselves, each other, and the world around them.

Listen in as they reflect on the quiet, the messy, the mysterious, and the fun—as they wonder together what creativity has to do with faith.

Episode 5

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 • Duration 51:16

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they embark on a month-long exploration of church. From the high-energy worship of a charismatic megachurch to the incense-filled traditions of a Catholic cathedral, from a creative café-style gathering to a simple yet meaningful home church, they step into different expressions of faith and community.

In this episode, they share their honest reflections—moments of surprise, deep connection, boredom, and laughter—as they wrestle with questions of belonging, creativity, and spirituality.
