The Treadweary Podcast Carleton Smee The collective ramblings of a Lutheran pastor who desires to hear what the Scriptures have to tell us. Sometimes it is a sermon, and other times a brief devotion. Many times a lot of questions. Take 15 minutes today to rest in the Word of God and hear the voice of Christ free you from your burdens. Ramblings BBC Radio 4 Clare Balding and guests share inspiring conversations while walking in the great outdoors.Fresh air and nature, wonderful views and uplifting chat, each week Clare hikes in a different part of our glorious countryside. Walking side by side is the perfect way to cover a huge range of subjects: literature, art, wildlife, nature, taking on personal or physical challenges, dealing with grief, confronting preconceptions about the kind of people who love to ramble. The conversations are as varied as the landscapes we find ourselves in. If there's a recurring theme, it's the accepted truth that 'solvitur ambulando' - 'it is solved through walking': The sense of wellness, the benefits to mental health, easy companionship, or sometimes just the sense of solitude that being alone in nature brings.Few things are better than going for a good walk. That's what we aim to share each week on Ramblings with Clare Balding.
