About this episode

Elizabeth Oldfield shares her journey of losing and rediscovering her faith through community and questioning.

Former BBC journalist and current Sacred podcast host Elizabeth Oldfield asks great questions, which is why she lost her faith… but then found it again. Deconstructing her shallower assumptions led her to a dark place, but out of the depths has emerged a fuller, richer, more nuanced and rigorous faith - which she is passionate to share and live out. I think we’d all enjoy joining her family and extended community at their generous weekly dinners where lots more questions are asked and answered. It’s a fascinating conversation. I highly recommend her book ‘Fully Alive - Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times’, and check out her ‘Sacred’ podcast . --- 📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi ❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired 💡 Stunning 2-min short film 'Searching for my Father's Killer' ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- ▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg 📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp 📧 Weekly email notification…
