This interview with Erik is somewhat controversial and thought provoking. We don’t agree about everything, but one thing we do agree about is that complex issues can’t be explained in a few sentences.

Five years ago, Catriona was an atheist. On the day I recorded this interview she had just found out that she had been accepted as an ordination candidate. So you could say that things have changed a bit for her. It’s a really wonderful story. She is a student minister at St Davids Cathedral this year, and will continue her studies at Ridley in 2021. The ordination is a ways off, but she says that the journey is as great as the destination.

It’s really great to be back! This year, the interviews will be aired fortnightly, the other week in the fortnight I will be recording and posting my memoir ‘My Year of Saying No’.

Today’s guest is Kylie from the Christian Coaching Institute Australia. She is full of wisdom about listening and approaching life with curiosity. It’s a great way to start the year’s podcasts.
