Episode 149: Language to help people flourish

from Mid-faith Crisis · host Nick Page & Joe Davis

We have an interview with Margaret Metcalfe, who talks about language and power. Do the words we use about God exclude others? What values do our metaphors and images express? And how do we find the words that help people flourish? Also we have to issue an INNUENDO WARNING as we discuss rude-sounding place names. Meanwhile, Joe has had a surprise cheese party and Nick has an important appeal to make.

I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much.

I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
