In unsettled times, Carmen Acevedo Butcher suggests contemplation can steady us — not by giving us certainty, but by rooting us more deeply in mystery. nomadpodcast.co.uk for the full conversation with Carmen Acevedo Butcher.

After my conversation with Carmen Acevedo Butcher, Anna and I reflected on finding a “firm foundation of mystery” rather than certainty. We talked God-language, trees, Lectio Divina, and whether contemplative practice trains us to look again at the world. Out now on Nomad.

One of the things I love about Nomad is that the interview is never the end of the conversation. Me and Anna kept wrestling afterwards with Pádraig Ó Tuama’s thoughts on anger, faith, God and why some conversations leave you unsettled in a good way.

Nomad Podcast @nomadpodcast.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Some interviews confirm what you already think. Others unsettle you a little. My conversation with Pádraig Ó Tuama was definitely the second kind. We talked about desire, anger, prayer, religious harm, masculinity, friendship and what it might mean to become “almost new”. Out now on Nomad.
