🔥 Time Between Times Podcast 🔥

Tonight… we walk north.

Out beyond the edge of comfort. Beyond the lamplit villages and into the wind-torn silence of the Farne Islands. Where the tide gnaws at black rock. Where seabirds wheel against a bruised sky. Where a shepherd boy once saw angels and followed that vision into eternity.

In this episode of Time Between Times, I tell the story of Cuthbert of Lindisfarne— monk, hermit, healer, bishop… and the quiet flame of the North.

We journey from his childhood vision of angels carrying the soul of Aidan of Lindisfarne, through his years preaching across wild Northumbria, to the solitude of Inner Farne where he stood waist-deep in freezing water praying beneath the stars.

You’ll hear of:

🌊 The otters who warmed his feet

🦅 The eagle who brought him food

✨ The healings that followed him like a second shadow

⚔️ The Viking storms that forced monks to carry his body across a shattered land

⛪ And the great shrine that rose at Durham Cathedral, where pilgrims still walk in hushed reverence today

This is not simply the story of a saint.

It is the story of solitude and service.

Of wilderness and unity.

Of a man who chose stillness in a restless age — and whose legacy still whispers in the northern wind.

So leave your worries at the door. Draw closer to the fire. Let the sea breathe in… and out…

And step with me, into the thin places.
