Stories Matter

By Baptist Union of Scotland

Welcome to Stories Matter! We want to share stories of people in our churches from across the country, hearing about the experiences that made them. We believe stories have a huge amount of power, and particularly when they highlight God’s bigger story of redemption.

Each episode we'll be asking about the same 5 things that matter to our guest - a song; a book/film; an experience; a Bible verse; and a person.
And we’ll finish with Raiders of the Lost Irk, where we want to hear about something that really gets under their skin! Could be serious or flippant, just something that irks them!

Stories Matter - Mae Moore

Stories Matter - Mae Moore

This week, Mae joins us to chat about Kate Bush, vegetarianism, and a road in Edinburgh that may soon have a statue in memory of her! 

During our conversation, Mae speaks about her experience of eating disorders so we'd like to offer this verbal trigger warning for anyone who this may affect, or may find it difficult to listen to this episode. If you are suffering from an eating disorder, or know someone who is, we would recommend you speak to your GP. In addition, Mae has recommended beateatingdisorders.org.uk as a helpful resource if you'd like more info.
