Introduction

(This was written by AI after it read the transcript - What do you think!!!) Welcome to a candid exploration "Foundations in Faith", where we peel back the layers of religious tradition to uncover the raw, unfiltered essence of living a life anchored in belief. In the inaugural episode of the "Living in Faith" podcast, hosts Nigel Maine and Claire Berry embark on a journey to dissect the complexities and nuances of Christianity, challenging the conventional and often confusing landscape of over 3200 denominations.

With a direct and engaging approach, Nigel and Claire share their personal odysseys from disillusionment with organized religion to a profound understanding of faith that transcends church walls. This podcast is not just another echo in the chamber of religious discourse; it's a critical, analytical, and deeply personal dialogue aimed at demystifying faith for the modern believer.

Through their stories, we're invited to reconsider what it means to be a follower of Christ in today's world. They tackle the tough questions, the ones that linger in the silence of our doubts, and offer a perspective that's both refreshing and enlightening. This is not about conforming to a rigid set of doctrines but about embarking on a journey towards understanding, forgiveness, and ultimately, transformation.

"Living in Faith" is more than a podcast; it's a call to action. It urges us to look beyond the surface, to question the status quo, and to find the true essence of faith that connects us all. Join Nigel and Claire as they pave the way for a new understanding of what it means to live in faith, one episode at a time.

So, what did you think of the above AI written text. At first I thought it was quite good and then I began to think it sounded a bit too contrived. It's not really me and because of its delivery, whilst I think I can leave it in here for now, I decided to write our own content from now on, from start to finish.

It is especially important what reviewing some of the other podcasts as I have included significantly more content and images to help communicate the points we're trying to put across.

As this is the first podcast, I'd be really grateful if you could give us some feedback, I guess more general than specific. However, if there is something glaringly wrong or we've got our facts wrong, please do let us know and we'll put it right.

I hope you enjoy these podcasts as we are also thinking that we'll do some live streaming too, seeing as we have all the equipment in our studio. Here's a question, what would you prefer, listening on a podcast or watching a live stream. Perhaps I should poll our mailing list to find out from them too.

It's a bit of a typical thing with me - start something full-steam ahead and then start thinking oh! perhaps I should have asked the questions before. Nevermind, we can always change things a bit later.

Here's a picture of our studio/office.
