Lauren Windle is a journalist, author, speaker and presenter who specialises in faith, recovery and love. She is the author of Notes on Love: being single and dating in a marriage-obsessed church and the upcoming Notes on Feminism: Being a woman in a male-led church. Justin and Belle chat with Lauren about her own story of addiction, recovery and faith, the intersection between Christianity and feminism from her perspective within the church, and the pervasive questions being asked by today’s culture.

There’s more to life than the world we can see. Re-Enchanting is a podcast from Seen & Unseen recorded at Lambeth Palace Library, the home of the Centre for Cultural Witness. Justin Brierley and Belle Tindall engage faith and spirituality with leading figures in science, history, politics, art and education. Can our culture be re-enchanted by the vision of Christianity?
