Mid-faith Crisis

Nick Page & Joe Davis

A podcast for every Christian who has ever asked ‘Is that it?’ Mid-faith Crisis explores the Christian faith with honesty and humour. If you feel that you have more questions than answers, if you feel as though your faith is changing, if you feel that if the worship leader sings that chorus one more time you will strangle him with his own guitar strap, then this is the podcast for you. Warning. Contains traces of theology and occasional innuendo.

2025/10/18

It's our ninth anniversary! So, for a nice, relaxed, party-like topic we talk about Israel. Why is it that so many Christians support modern Israel so strongly? How can we respond when there is so much violence and hatred on all sides? Where is the Kingdom of God in all this? Also Nick has discovered some scriptural golf balls and Joe has been rewriting the Bible.

Lots of feedback this week. We talk about prayer and ritual, about what labels we use to describe ourselves and about finding joy in giving.

Episode 339: Revisiting nonviolence

Mid-faith Crisis ·

2025/08/02

We revisit Joe's theses and in particular discuss nonviolence – in many ways the forgotten element of Jesus' teaching. We discuss the early church's adoption of nonviolence, how we can so easily 'other' people and treat them as subhuman, and what we can do to be a non-violent presence in the world. Also, Nick takes credit for the Euros victory, and Joe has been to visit a rare tree.Support the podcast Contact the podcast through your email machine Mid-faith Crisis Facebook Page Nick's

We talk cynics, sceptics and assorted doubters. What is it that pushes us towards cynicism? How can we remain open to the possibilities of prayer? Does anyone still play the prophetic bongos?

People have sent in limericks about the Trinity. Joe is wondering what to do about the climate crisis.

This week we tackle some feedback, talk about elders and gatekeepers and Joe has an update on his theme. Also, we think about why theology is such a loaded word, how the creed ignores most of Jesus' life and how the manager of Tottenham Hotspur reminds us of something important about the Kingdom of God.

In an unexpected move - well, unexpected for Joe, at least – we revisit an episode from 2017. Eight years ago we had a stab at writing our own creeds and now, having completely forgotten even doing it, we go back to see what we wrote and whether we still agree with it. Also we have important clarifications about cauliflowers, and we worry whether both the podcast and our lives are now travelling in reverse.Support the podcast Contact the podcast through your email machine Mid-faith Crisis

This week's topics include the ethics of slug control, the 1700th anniversary the council of Nicea, whether transformation is always difficult and what it would be like if we met our internal critic at a party. Also, how do we approach difficult events when it really seems like God is to blame? Oh, and Nick has a theory that stories are like cauliflowers. Or something like that.Support the podcast Contact the podcast through your email machine Mid-faith Crisis Facebook Page Nick's
