Belonging - being able to fully breathe, with Nathan Rām
30/07/2026 | 45 mins.
For people who find belonging in faith communities easy, how much do we pause to understand the experience of those who don’t.

Does church make us too comfortable? With Lily Melville
26/05/2026 | 39 mins.

About The Changes Ahead Podcast

It is no secret that the church in the West is in decline and there seems to have been unending talk about the church needing to change. Despite this, the number of sustainable alternatives or even smaller changes to what most would be familiar with as church is tragically low. This podcast is capturing thoughts of people who can see the Changes Ahead of us. Together we’ll be challenged, provoked even, by the views of people who are thinking about how the church might thrive going forward. So we invite you to join co-hosts Cathy Marston and Steven Goulstone as we imagine the Changes Ahead.
