Equip Podcast 14: ‘Everything Looks Like Failure in the Middle’ — How to Thrive in The Ordinary

St Michaels Church Podcast · Oct 5, 2026 · 42m

Jamie Mulvaney sits down with Bishop Emma Ineson — Bishop of Kensington and, since January, Acting Bishop of London — for a conversation about the bit of life almost nobody talks about. We tend to focus on beginnings and endings, high points and low points. Emma’s new book, Middling, is a surprising name for a book. It’s about everything in between: the ordinary, unremarkable stretch that is actually most of our lives. And how do we find the middle in an age of extremes?
