Join me for a day of teaching and discussion at ReEquip, in the beautiful Yarnton Manor in Oxford on 28 March, as we dive into the fascinating resurgence of belief in God in a world often seen as increasingly secular.

I will be unpacking the cultural, philosophical, and personal factors leading to a renewed openness to faith.

Join us for 3 sessions and a Q&A as well as lunch and refreshments.

Listen EARLY (right now!) to Surprising Rebirth Season 2’s opening two-parter

Is the rebirth of belief in God a right wing phenomenon?

A "vibe shift" is underway. Trump's re-election and the gains of populist parties internationally have reinvigorated the right wing. So is the 'surprising rebirth' in religious circles just the manifestation of the new political vibe?

In this opening two-parter of Season 2 of the award-winning The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God documentary podcast, I grab the bull by both horns and respond to a key objection to my thesis (first posed by Alex O'Connor) examining the rise of popular right wing politics in secular and religious circles!

Parts one and two will release publicly on 11 and 18 March, but you can listen to the whole episode - both parts - right now by becoming a silver or gold level supporter!

Jo Swinney on Re-Enchanting Hospitality

Jo Swinney is director of communications for the Christian environmental conservation charity A Rocha International.

Jo's parents Miranda and Peter Harris were the founders of A Rocha. Miranda's tragic death in 2019 was a shock to all those who knew her. Jo’s book A Place At The Table: Faith, hope and hospitality pairs her own words with writings she discovered of her mother’s to celebrate her life and to explore how sharing food is at the heart of a shared life.

Belle Tindall and I heard about the events that led up to Jo writing the book and how we can re-enchant the gift of hospitality in an increasingly lonely world. Watch or listen here!
