The Spirit - Stories of Faith
The Spirit shares real stories of faith from people living in country Australia. It is for those already living with faith and those curious to know more about what that actually looks like. It is a glimpse into the lives of people living in country Australia and how being there has shaped their faith.
These are the stories of a police officer, an army cadet, a recipient of an Order of Australia and an advocate against family and domestic violence just to name a few. Their stories are not always neat, and each challenges us to think differently. But ultimately these are encouraging stories of hope.
The Spirit was recorded on the lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung, Baraba Baraba, Yorta Yorta and Bangerang peoples.
