What is a podcast?

Podcasts are audio recordings that you can subscribe to, so you can listen whenever a new episode is released. You can listen directly on a web site, but it may be more convenient to use an app on your phone such as AntennaPod or Apple Podcasts.

Many people find podcasts a great way to learn, contemplate and grow in faith, and we want to recommend some podcasts that you may find helpful.

Some sites to join for regular podcasts:

Podcasts can be a great support in prayer, and several of our favourite podcasts provide “contemplations” or “meditations” that guide us through praying in a particular way. Here are some you might like to try out:

  • Our local favourite is Justice Worriers. Created by members of our congregation at St John’s Egham, Justice Worriers attempts to provide a space to discuss our hopes, fears, doubt and faith about how we as Christians understand and confront justice and injustice in the world.
  • GodPod is connected with our friends at Holy Trinity Brompton. GodPod is a podcast from St Paul’s Theological Centre in which theologians Graham Tomlin, Mike Lloyd, Jane Williams and guests discuss burning issues of God, theology, life and much more, over a supply of coffee and biscuits.
  • Kate Bowler from Everything Happens podcast is posting very personal messages of blessing on her Instagram page: Kate Bowler on Instagram.
  • With the aim of “Helping people experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus”, The Bible Project makes videos and study guides explaining Bible stories and ideas. The creators make a podcast where they talk about the videos they are working on, and explain the ideas in much more detail.
  • 24-7 Prayer provide a daily devotional resource that is available in audio and text versions, with an app you can install on your phone: Lectio 365.

Some podcasts to listen to now:

Climate Justice and Discipleship – a Lent course from the London Diocese

Climate Justice & Discipleship (Lent 2025)

Sarah Breuel (as suggested in a recent sermon)

Esther Prior

  • A real treat to hear some of Esther Prior’s personal story in a special episode of the Justice Worriers podcast.

Andy, Jörg and Leah talk to Esther, who hears a song of Jesus’s approval even when other voices clamour to overwhelm her. She describes her journey of salvation through acceptance to repentance and being home, and discusses the forgiveness she is able to live out through her understanding of the fall.
