You find us today between two church festivals. On Wednesday 22nd July, the church commemorated Mary Magdalene; on Saturday 25th, it will commemorate the apostle James. These two people were central to Jesus' ministry: James was one of the 12 disciples and Mary the first witness to Jesus' resurrection.
During this episode, we welcome Rachel back to the pod to reflect on our reading, which is Luke 8.1-3. There's also some shout outs, including to teachers past and present, and the next instalment of Brain of the Week, themed around science and nature.
