Nicky Gumbel: Questions of Meaning
Manage episode 408900333 series 2039328
Our lives are rarely predictable or at all in our control. Sometimes what happens to us or around us can reshape our entire trajectory. Nicky Gumbel is someone whose life was dramatically changed. He thought he was going to be a very fancy lawyer… just like everyone else in his family, but that’s not what happened. Nicky became one of the pioneers of the Alpha Course where 30 million people have been introduced to Christian faith around the world.
In this conversation, Kate and Nicky discuss:
- Nicky’s reluctant conversion to Christianity
- How to stay open to the things we didn’t expect to happen.
- How age isn’t necessarily the limiter we might assume—perhaps there are opportunities or new ventures that can open up in our later third of life
- Why the church should be more like a hospital than a museum
