I use this as part of my spiritual practice and mindfulness Sunday’s. It’s great to listen to before my religious events or as my time to reflect. It has a wide range of topics and is not only based on Christian and UK scope. It also has religious news of the day, and interesting things about religion that are a little less known, like the importance of bees!
