Podcasts for Formation

There’s something about podcasts that can slow us down and increase our ability to pay attention. Here is a short and eclectic list of podcasts that frequently explore aspects of the Christian faith.

Ask NT Wright Anything

Every two weeks, Justin Brierly brings listeners' questions to NT Wright, a bishop and scholar often considered the heir to CS Lewis.

Homebrewed Christianity

Tripp Fuller curates theological conversations with theologians and biblical scholars, exploring faith with ambiguity, paradox, and a touch of divine humor.

On Being with Krista Tippett

A 20-year archive of conversations featuring luminaries like Mary Oliver, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Desmond Tutu, each episode brings a new discovery about the immensity of our lives.

Mary Hynes explores basic existential questions (Why are we here? What is a good life?) through conversation with diverse guests. The podcast often includes perspectives from philosophy and psychology as well as faith and spirituality.

The Bible for Normal People

This podcast explores questions about the Bible, contemporary life, and meaning. Sessions include many diverse guests to offer insight into wide-ranging topics related to faith and our everyday lives.

Two Feminists Annotate the Bible

Two Anglican priests offer a fun and accessible conversation while also bringing a scholarly eye to every book of the bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Prayer Apps

A top choice for beginners and those new to the daily office. This app has everything you need to pray morning and evening including an audio recording for every day. It’s free and easy to use. From the Church of England.

Reimagining the Examen

A unique prayer experience that’s tailored to your needs and mood. Based on St. Ignatius’s 500-year-old prayer, the app guides you through a stimulating reflection on your day, helping you invite God into your nitty-gritty.

Venite.app is one convenient way to pray; nothing more, and nothing less. It takes the Episcopal Church's prayer book and turns it into an elegant and flexible way to structure your life of prayer.

Acknowledgement

The lands on which we gather and serve are the traditional unceded territories of the Syilx (Okanagan) Peoples, the Ktunaxa and Kinbasket Peoples, the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Peoples, and the Sinixt (Arrow Lakes) Peoples.

We seek a new relationship with the first peoples here; one based on honour and respect, and we thank them for their hospitality. We pray that we may live more deeply into the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
