In this special episode, writer, priest and theologian Jarel Robinson-Brown reflects on the power of love in a world that so often feels fragile, unjust, and burning at the edges.

Drawing on the story of his grandmother’s resilience and tenderness, the radical imagination of Mary, and the embodied life of Jesus, Jarel invites us to see Christian truth not as a text but as a life — love made flesh, love that puts its body where its heart is.

After Jarel’s reflection, Nomad host Anna Robinson guides us into a contemplative space — a gentle invitation to sit with the stories we’ve heard, notice what stirs, and discern how love might ripple outward in our own lives.

The whole episode is woven together with original music by Jon Bilbrough (Wilderthorn), creating a meditative soundscape to hold the journey.
