  • Fantastic Podcast

    I’m currently not attending or serving in a church for the first time in my 54 years. This podcast, recommended by a friend, has really helped me reflect upon my faith, the good, the bad and the ugly. I now feel as if I’m part of a community of people who may love Jesus deeply but are examining how ‘religion’ may have undermined self identity and are working on developing an authentic life giving spirituality.

  • Essential listening for the spiritually curious.

    Have been an avid Nomad listener ( from the free state of Canada) for years now. Don't consider myself a bona fide Christian but Nomad helps me to keep a foot in the door and a toe in the water just in case I make the quantum leap into faith. The humour and vulnerability of the hosts is genuinely appealing. I appreciate the learned guests they get. Well done.

  • Best faith shift pod out there

    Just fantastic. Love Tim and Nick. Wish Nomad revisited was the main feed. This is doing more for my faith journey than any church or church program has ever done. It has literally transformed me and continues to push me to be more open.

  • A big fan of Nomad

    Love all of you at Nomad and the interesting and thought provoking guests you feature. I especially love the banter before and after the interviews between Tim and Anna or Joy or Nick. It gives me an inside glimpse of each of one of you, making you feel like family. As a former radio journalist myself who has interviewed hundreds of people here in the US, I just appreciate Tim’s interview style where he doesn’t make the interview all about himself. He lets the guest talk unlike most podcasts I l... more
