When Jennie Hogan was 11 years old she had a brain haemorrhage. Then at the age of 14 she had another one. This devastating experience left her with a brain injury that would transform her life. So we met up with Jennie at Goodenough College where she is a chaplain, to talk with her about how her experience of trauma, illness and disability has caused her to reflect on how she relates to her body, what an embodied faith means to her, how she’s learnt to live with uncertainty, and about the emergence of a new identity through her experience of brokenness. After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on Jenny's faith journey and ponder how their own experiences of disability and brokenness have shaped their evolving faith. Interview starts at 17m 17s If you want more from Nomad, check out our website, and follow us on Facebook and twitter.
